AXOPAR LAUNCHES THE 38 SUN TOP, AN OPEN AND SOCIAL BOAT BUILT FOR SHARED TIME ON THE WATER
Axopar Boats introduces the 38 Sun Top, the second model in its all-new 38 range. Built around openness, flexibility, and shared time on the water, the Sun Top pairs a social, open-air layout with the same proven hull, drivability, and liveability that define the 38 XC Cross Cabin, which debuted at Boot Düsseldorf 2026. With precise, confidence-inspiring handling, it delivers an unrivalled driving experience for both seasoned captains and those new to boating.
At its core, the Sun Top is a social platform as much as a boat to drive. The open layout removes the visual and physical barriers between helm, cockpit, and aft deck, bringing people closer to each other and to the sea. Driving, dining, and relaxing coexist within one continuous space, so the boat adapts to how the day unfolds rather than dictating how it should be used.
A flexible and social cockpit
The reimagined mid-section offers one of the most modular seating solutions in its class. Owners can configure the cockpit from individual helm seats to a forward-facing U-sofa that converts into a sunbed with an electric hi-lo table. A driver’s sofa with flip-up bolsters and a reversible backrest lets the space shift naturally between driving, dining, and lounging. With optional bulwark seating, the cockpit comfortably hosts up to 10 people, all within the same social space. The aft deck extends this further: foldable activity platforms and alternative fender box layouts widen the usable area and bring people closer to the water for swimming, watersports, and loading gear onboard.
Close to the elements, ready for real conditions
Open boating has always promised freedom and a direct connection to the surroundings, but too often at the expense of comfort when conditions change. The distinctive Sun Top roof resolves that trade-off. Its sliding canvas opens the entire helm
and cockpit to the sky when the weather allows or provides shade and shelter when needed. Optional roll-down canopies add further protection without limiting visibility or the sense of openness, extending usable boating into more days across the season.
Built on the Axopar 38 platform
While the Sun Top brings a new, open character to the range, it rests on the same foundation that defines every Axopar 38 — a twin-stepped V hull with sharp entry, supported by an overbuilt stringer system that delivers rigid structural integrity and predictable handling at every speed. The 38 platform has been obsessively designed and endlessly refined in the details. It also introduces refined hydrodynamics, improved weight distribution, and a re-engineered hull profile for an even more intuitive, confidence-inspiring driving feel at both low and high speeds.
The result is an intuitive driving feel that inspires confidence at the helm, whether the captain is a seasoned hand or new to boating. The same rigidity also supports noise reduction, making for a calmer onboard environment where conversation and relaxation feel natural even at cruising speed. Modularity sits at the heart of the Axopar 38: across the cockpit, aft deck, bow, and cabin, owners can tailor layouts and modules to how the boat will be used rather than choosing between fixed tradeoffs.
The bow is designed as a genuine social space for sitting, dining, lounging, or sunbathing, whether underway or at anchor. Below deck, the front cabin carries over the increased headroom, new kitchen module, and optional enclosed toilet with shower that make the Axopar 38 a practical platform for longer stays, not just day trips. The front cabin feels bright and open, with skylights and the option of gullwing doors for daylight and ventilation.
A range that continues to grow
Following the debut of the Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin at Boot Düsseldorf 2026, the range now expands with the Sun Top, with the Cross Top, featuring a forward-tilting windshield for added protection from the sun, to follow in September 2026. Together, the three models form a complete offering — each tailored to a different way of experiencing life on the water, but all built around the same core DNA of drivability, usability, modularity, and long-term value.
About Axopar: Axopar is a Finland-based boat manufacturer and one of the fastest-growing boat brands in the world. As the Adventure Boating Company, Axopar designs multifunctional, accessible, and innovative boats built around Scandinavian simplicity, unparalleled drivability, and effortless exploration. The multi-award-winning fleet spans 22 to 45 feet, including two all-electric AX/E models, and is supported by a global dealer network in more than 50 countries, with North America as the largest market. Designed in Finland and manufactured in Poland, Axopar has sold over 7,600 boats since its founding in 2014. In 2025, the Group’s turnover reached 170.4 million, and it employed roughly 1,000 people.

leave the property.
“Adding additional floating dock capacity at PORT 32 Tampa is about giving our members more options and more confidence every time they head out on the water,” said CEO Austin Schell. “The infrastructure we have put in place, from 50- and 60-foot slips, wave attenuation built into every berth, and full electrical service at each slip, is designed to give members and guests a seamless, high-quality experience from the moment they arrive to the moment they return to the dock, making it easier than ever for boaters to choose PORT 32 Tampa as their home on Tampa Bay.”

Florida Watermelon and Gulf Shrimp Chimichurri
Ingredients for the tacos:
• 1 pound Florida Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 cups fresh Florida watermelon, diced large
• ¼ cup fresh Florida sweet red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Florida seafood seasoning blend
• 1 cup fresh Florida parsley, rinsed
• 1 tablespoon fresh Florida chili pepper, chopped (if desired)
• ¼ cup fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• ¼ cup queso fresco cheese (or feta), crumbled
• Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and add one tablespoon of the seafood seasoning. Carefully add the Gulf shrimp to the boiling water and stir. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on size, until just done. Remove the cooked shrimp from the pot and place them in a medium bowl filled with water and ice to stop the cooking process. Once the shrimp have completely cooled, remove them from the ice water and pat dry. Store the cooked shrimp in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the dish.
To make the chimichurri sauce, add the parsley, oregano, garlic, smoked paprika, sweet bell peppers, red wine vinegar and fresh chili pepper (if desired) to a food processor or blender. Use the pulse feature to blend ingredients together. 3 to 7 pulses should give a diced consistency. Do not over-blend the sauce. Pour the sauce into a small bowl and use a spoon to mix in the olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Assemble the dish by adding 1/3 of the chimichurri sauce to the cooked and chilled shrimp in a mixing bowl. Stir to evenly coat all the shrimp, adding more sauce if desired. Add the diced watermelon to the sauced shrimp and stir gently. Serve chilled with crumbled queso fresco on top and extra chimichurri sauce on the side.

How to Cut Boat Fuel Usage: 6 Moves That Actually Save Money
How to Cut Boat Fuel Usage: 6 Moves That Actually Save Money
Fuel dock math hits different when you’re the one paying. Whether you’re running a weekend pontoon or a twin-engine offshore rig, fuel is usually your biggest recurring expense.
That’s why one of the most common questions among new boat owners is: How much fuel does a boat use? The answer depends on factors like boat size, engine type, cruising speed, sea conditions, and how well your boat is maintained.
Here’s the thing: you don’t need to buy the latest engine model to cut costs. Small changes in how you operate and maintain your boat can significantly reduce fuel burn, lower operating costs, and help you get more time on the water from every tank. Cleaner hull. Better throttle discipline. Reading the conditions. That’s it.
Below are six no-nonsense ways to reduce your boat fuel usage without cutting your time on the water short.
6 Tips for Reducing Fuel Usage
1. Don’t Let a Dirty Hull Drag You Down
2. Treat the Throttle Like Your Wallet
3. Lighten Your Load
4. Maintenance is More Than an Oil Change
5. Use Data to Outsmart the Pump
6. Work with Mother Nature
1. Don’t Let a Dirty Hull Drag You Down
If your boat stays in the water, it’s a magnet for algae, barnacles, and general slime. But even a light layer of growth creates massive drag, forcing your engine to work twice as hard to maintain the same speed.
• Keep it smooth: If you store your boat in a slip, scrub the bottom regularly. A clean hull can improve fuel economy by
10% or more. Regular cleaning can decrease the amount of fuel your boat uses by reducing drag.
• Invest in high-quality antifouling paint: It helps discourage growth. It’s an upfront cost that pays for itself in lower boat fuel consumption.
• The dry advantage: Whenever possible, keep the boat on a trailer or lift. A dry hull is always faster and more efficient than one that’s been soaking in the brine.
2. Treat the Throttle Like Your Wallet
We all love the feeling of hitting wide open throttle (WOT), but your gas gauge doesn’t. Your engine burns an exponentially higher amount of fuel to get those last few miles per hour of top-end speed. Operating your boat at different speeds can significantly affect fuel consumption, and finding the most efficient speed is key to saving fuel.
3. Lighten Your Load
Many boaters are hauling around gear they haven’t touched in years – but every pound you carry requires more horsepower!
4. Maintenance is More Than an Oil Change
A neglected engine is a thirsty engine. Engine trouble, such as misfires or poor performance, can further increase fuel consumption and make it harder to achieve optimal efficiency. If your motor is struggling with old spark plugs or a clogged filter, it will use more fuel just to keep running, let alone move the boat efficiently.
Most marine engine manufacturers recommend an oil change every 100 hours to maintin peak performance. Keep in mind that automotive oils don’t provide the level of protection that marine engines require. To maximize engine performance and fuel efficiency, always use the engine manufacturer’s recommended oil or an NMMA certified oil.
Your boat’s propeller also plays a key role in fuel efficiency. Inspect it regularly for damage and repair any dings and bends promptly. Even a small nick on a propeller blade can disrupt water flow, reduce thrust, and increase fuel consumption.
5. Use Data to Outsmart the Pump
You can’t fix what you aren’t measuring. Thanks to modern electronics, it’s now easier than ever to track your boat fuel consumption in real-time. Knowing exactly how much fuel your engine is using helps you make smarter decisions and boost efficiency.
6. Work with Mother Nature
Fighting against the wind and tide can quickly drain your fuel budget. When planning your route, be sure to factor in wind, tide, and sea conditions to make your boat fuel usage more efficient and your trip safer. A little foresight can make a big difference.
Boat Fuel Usage Q&A
Q: Are there any reliable tools or calculators to estimate boat fuel costs?
A: Absolutely. Using a boat fuel calculator is a smart first step when planning any trip. You can easily find online boat fuel consumption calculators that take into account your engine horsepower and the type of vessel you have.
Q: What’s the most effective way to improve fuel efficiency on a boat?
A: We hate to break it to you, but the “magic bullet” is simply slowing down. Most boats see a massive jump in fuel efficiency just by dropping back 5–10 MPH from their top speed. Beyond that, keeping your hull clean and your engine tuned are the two most significant factors you can control.

“SHE SAVED MY LIFE!”
Jupiter resident Dawn R. had been experiencing the painful side effects of Peripheral Neuropathy. “My feet and legs were extremely painful and my doctor told me there was nothing they could do. That I would have to take Gabapentin for the rest of my life.” Then she met Jupiter’s very own Dr. Lisa McCoog.
Peripheral Neuropathy is the pain, discomfort and numbness caused by nerve damage of the peripheral nervous system. Dawn explained that daily tasks like opening doors and using the bathroom were overwhelmingly painful. “How can you live for the next 30 years when you don’t even want to get out of bed to do simple things?”
She was experiencing the burning, numbness, tingling and sharp pains that those suffering with neuropathy often describe. “The way that I would describe it, it’s equivalent to walking on glass.”
Dawn hadn’t worn socks in five years and was wearing shoes two sizes too big so that nothing would ‘touch’ her feet.
Unfortunately Dawn’s story is all too familiar for the over 3 million people in the U.S. suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy.
If you’re unfortunate enough to be facing the same disheartening prognosis you’re not sleeping at night because of the burning in your feet. You have difficulty walking, shopping or doing any activity for more than 30 minutes because of the pain. You’re struggling with balance and living in fear that you might fall. Your doctor told you to ‘just live with the pain’ and you’re taking medications that aren’t working or have uncomfortable side effects. Fortunately four
months ago Dawn read an article about Dr. Lisa McCoog and the work she was doing to treat those suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy, without invasive surgeries or medications.
Dr. Lisa McCoog , founder of Lighthouse Acupuncture and Wellness Center in Jupiter, is using the time tested science of Acupuncture and a technology originally developed by NASA that assists in increasing blood flow and expediting recovery and healing to treat this debilitating disease.
“Now when I go to bed at night I don't have those shooting pains. I don’t have that burning sensation. I don’t have pain coming up my legs.” Dawn enthusiastically describes her life after receiving Dr. McCoog’s treatments. “I can wear socks and shoes!”
Dawn and her sister now operate a successful dog walking business, sometimes covering up to 5 miles a day.
“It’s life altering. As far as I’m concerned Dr. McCoog saved my life!”
Dr. McCoog has been helping the senior community for over 10 years using the most cutting edge and innovative integrative medicine
Specializing in chronic pain cases specifically those that have been deemed “hopeless” or “untreatable” she consistently generates unparalleled results.
What was once a missing link in senior healthcare is now easily accessible to the residents of Palm Beach County.
If you’re having trouble climbing in and out of the boat, standing at the helm, or simply enjoying a full day on the water without fear of falling or pain, it’s time to call Dr. McCoog and the staff at Lighthouse AWC.
It’s time you let your golden years BE GOLDEN!
Dr. McCoog is once again accepting new patients. And for a limited time will be offering complimentary consultations so call (561) 3204173 before the end of the month to schedule a consultation.

FLORIDA BOATERS CAN NOW TAKE FREE STATE-APPROVED BOATING SAFETY COURSE At-home learning helps Florida boaters prepare for the water easily and conveniently. The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has launched the only free interactive boating safety course for Florida recreational boaters. The course, which is approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and meets state boating safety education requirements, can be taken at the student’s own pace. After passing the exam, they can print their own certificate of completion for immediate use and will receive a lifetime card from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.The course provides video demonstrations and sample common boating situations for students to interact with to better understand how to evaluate real-world instances. The learning experience includes storylines where the student “boats” to various places and includes interactive learning tools like flashcards and drag-and-drop features to enhance learning and retention. Course-takers will be able to design and name the virtual boat that takes them through the course and map how far they’ve “traveled” within it. In the state of Florida, anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, who operates a vessel powered by 10 horsepower or more must pass an approved boating safety course and have in his/her possession photographic identification and proof of boating safety education completion issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The online BoatUS Foundation boating safety course and exam are approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard as exceeding the minimum requirements for the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. “NASBLA approval of our Florida Boating Safety Course is a meaningful investment in boater safety, said Lynne O’Hearn, Program Manager at BoatUS Foundation. “Boater education is one of the most effective ways to prevent accidents,
and this course gives Florida boaters the opportunity to build their skills to better enjoy Florida waterways safely.”

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD FLOTILLA 7-16 OFFERS SAFE BOATING CLASSES IN GULFPORT, FL, MEETS THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH. These classes qualify the attendee for the FWC Safe Boating Card. This card is required for most people born after January 1, 1988 to legally operate a power boat with greater than 10hp motor in Florida. The one-day class includes instruction on safety equipment, boat handling, rules of the road, navigation aids, communications, trailering, legal requirements and others. Power and sailboats are covered, as well as personal watercraft. Of course, besides making a boater in compliance, the main goal of the class is to create a safer boater. Classes are offered on the second Saturday of each month. To sign up, contact Marty Richardson at (630) 674-5352. Flotilla 7-16 also performs free courtesy vessel safety inspections for power and sail boats, personal watercraft, and paddle craft. The inspector will come to your location, inspect the required safety features of your vessel, and if you pass will provide a safety sticker to mount on your vessel. The inspection is a courtesy, so no action is taken if problems are found. But the vessel owner then knows of any deficiencies to correct before having an accident or being sanctioned by the Coast Guard. To get more information or to schedule an inspection, contact Howard Bush at (305)731-3580. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Contact Flotilla Commander Howard Bush for more information at (305)731-3580.
A VESSEL
SAFETY CHECK - STUART
Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2025 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public.

Inshore Fishing Report
The inshore fishing around John’s Pass, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, Boca Ciega Bay, and the greater Tampa Bay area has been full of life lately as we settle into that warm early summer pattern. Water temperatures are climbing into the mid-80s, bait is thick around the passes, bridges, grass flats, mangrove shorelines, docks, and spoil islands, and the fish are responding well during the right windows of moving water. The biggest key right now is timing.
Snook have really pushed into their summertime haunts around the passes, beaches, bridge fenders, seawalls, docks, mangrove points, and sandy potholes near moving water. Around John’s Pass, look for snook staged along the beach troughs early in the morning, tucked around bridge structure during the day, and feeding hard around dock lights at night. Live scaled sardines, threadfins, shrimp, and pinfish are great options, but a well-placed paddle tail, flair hawk jig, soft plastic jerk bait, or topwater plug can also get crushed when the fish are actively feeding. For best results, work your bait naturally with the current instead of fighting against it. Snook are ambush feeders, so getting your bait swept past a piling, seawall corner, mangrove point, or shadow line can make all the difference.
Redfish have been a little more scattered, but we are still seeing them around mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, residential docks, grass flat edges, and sandy potholes throughout Boca Ciega Bay and the surrounding backwaters. The best redfish bite has been during moving water, especially when the tide is high enough to push fish up into the mangroves or around oyster-laden shorelines. Cut pinfish, cut mullet, live shrimp, pilchards, and small crabs are all great choices. Artificial anglers can do well with gold spoons, weedless soft plastics, and small paddle tails worked slowly around potholes and shoreline edges. If you find mullet schools pushing along a mangrove edge or flat, slow down and work that area thoroughly because redfish are often mixed in with them, feeding on shrimp, crabs, and small baitfish stirred up by the school.
Trout fishing has been best on the deeper grass flats, potholes, and drop-offs, especially where clean water and bait are present. Around the Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, and St. Pete Beach area, look for trout over healthy grass in four to ten foot of water early in the day, then slightly deeper as the sun gets higher and water temperatures climb. Live shrimp under a popping cork is always a reliable option, especially when you are drifting larger flats and trying to locate fish. Soft plastic paddle tails, jerk baits, and suspending twitch baits are also great choices. The trick with trout is covering water until you find the fish. Once you catch one, keep working that same depth, pothole edge, or grass line because there are usually more fish nearby.
Mangrove snapper are really starting to fire
up inshore as the water warms. We are seeing them around docks, bridges, seawalls, rock piles, jetties, oyster bars, and deeper cuts inside the pass. John’s Pass is a great area to target mangrove snapper because of the strong current, structure, and abundance of small bait. The key is lighter tackle and a natural presentation. Use small live shrimp, tiny pilchards, greenbacks, or small pieces of cut bait on a lighter fluorocarbon leader with just enough weight to get the bait down. Mangrove snapper are smart and leader shy, especially in clear water, so downsizing to lighter leader can make a big difference. Chumming with small pieces of cut bait or crushed shrimp can help get them fired up, but do not overfeed them. Keep your bait small, fresh, and right in the strike zone close to structure.

West Central Florida
strong tackle, and make sure you are ready before that bite happens because these fish are powerful and unforgiving.
Shark fishing has also been very active with the warmer water and abundance of bait around the beaches, passes, flats, and nearshore edges. Blacktips, bonnetheads, spinner sharks, nurse sharks, and other coastal sharks are all possible around our area this time of year. Cut ladyfish, mullet, mackerel, jack crevalle, and bonita are great shark baits. Around the flats and mangrove edges, bonnetheads will also eat shrimp, crabs, and smaller natural baits. For larger sharks, focus on deeper cuts, pass edges, beach troughs, and areas where bait schools are concentrated.
Flounder have been showing up around sandy potholes, bridge edges, dock lines, pass edges, and areas where sand meets grass or rock. These fish love to lay flat on the bottom and ambush bait as it moves by, so slow and low is the name of the game. Small live shrimp, mud minnows, finger mullet, and small pilchards worked near bottom are great options. A jig head with a soft plastic bounced slowly along the bottom can also be very productive.
Pompano have been around the passes, sandy channels, bridge areas, beach troughs, and clean-water cuts where current is moving over sandy bottom. Around John’s Pass, they can be caught bouncing small pompano jigs, goofy jigs, or small pieces of shrimp near the bottom. These fish are often moving quickly, so covering water is important. Look for clean water, sandy bottom, small crabs, coquina, and current seams. A bright little jig bounced along the bottom with short, sharp hops is a great way to trigger a bite. If you catch one pompano, keep working that same lane because they often travel in small groups.
Tarpon are becoming a bigger part of the inshore and beach fishing conversation as we move deeper into the warmer season. We are seeing more fish along the beaches, around the passes, deeper channels, bridge areas, and larger bait schools. Early morning and evening are best, especially when the water is calmer and you can see fish rolling. Live crabs, threadfins, large scaled sardines, pinfish, and pass crabs are all great tarpon baits. Around bridge and pass areas, fish the tide changes and watch for rolling fish, nervous bait, or birds working. Tarpon can be very tide dependent, so patience is important. Have your drag set properly, use
Overall, the inshore bite around John’s Pass and the central west Florida Gulf beaches has been very productive when you match your plan to the conditions. Fish early or late, focus on moving water, pay close attention to bait, and adjust your tactics as the sun gets higher and the water warms. The stronger tide windows around the moon phase should help keep fish feeding, especially around the passes, bridges, mangrove points, grass flat edges, and deeper cuts.
Whether you are targeting snook on the beach, redfish along the mangroves, trout over the grass, mangrove snapper around structure, flounder near sandy potholes, pompano in the pass, tarpon along the beaches, or sharks around bait schools, there are plenty of great inshore fishing opportunities right now around Madeira Beach, John’s Pass, Tampa Bay, and the surrounding Pinellas County waters.
Fishing Tips
• Snook: Use live baits like greenbacks, threadfins, and shrimp, or try flair hawks and soft plastics at night.
• Redfish: Look for them around mangroves, oyster bars, and flats, and use dead baits during higher tides.
• Trout: Target them with soft plastics, white bait, and shrimp around deeper flats and potholes.
• Tarpon: Target them during the full moon with crab flushes, making it an ideal time to target them.
• Flounder: Find them near sandy bottoms and structures, biting on bottom baits.
• Pompano: Be prepared to move frequently to stay on their bite.
• Sharks: Use big dead baits in areas with moving water.

Graduation Trip Turns Into a Solid Mixed Bag Day
It was shaping up to be a perfect Saturday to get on the water. With a marine forecast calling for 5–10-knot west winds and 1–2-foot seas, we knew it was going to be a “Boils” kind of day. Tania and I decided to make it even more special by inviting Lizzy and Chason, two of her former students who had just graduated the week before. We figured it would be a great way to celebrate their accomplishment. We told them to meet us at the dock at 6:30 a.m., and Tania and I left the house around 5:45 to make sure we were there ahead of them. As always, we started the morning with a quick prayer on the way to the fishing center. When I came out of the bait shop with bait in hand, Tania let me know the kids had already arrived, 30 minutes early, and beat us there by about 10 minutes.
Once at the dock, Chason and Lizzy jumped right in and helped carry gear to the boat. As we were loading up, we ran into our buddy Gil, whom we hadn’t seen in a while. He said he hadn’t been out fishing in months and asked if he could follow us out. We were happy to have him join.
The run-out was absolutely beautiful. The wind was calm, the river looked like glass, and the sunrise reflecting off the water and buildings made it one of those mornings you don’t forget. We reached the Boils around 7:35 a.m., and conditions looked ideal, with clean water and calm seas. It felt like it had “permit bite” written all over it. Before we started fishing, Gil pulled up and asked me to pray over him
and his buddy and for the day, which I was honored to do.
Unfortunately, the fish didn’t get the memo.
There were plenty of boats out there, and overall, the bite was slow across the board. Between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m., we managed only about three fish, two for Tania and one for Chason, all of which were small, trash fish. We worked our usual 30g jigs, even tipping them with shrimp, and cycled through our normal techniques, but nothing seemed to turn the bite on.
With the action dead, we decided to head inshore toward the buoys to at least get the kids on some fish. We let Gil know, but he chose to head north of the inlet to try his luck there. Once we got set up on the buoys with knocker rigs and live shrimp, things picked up quickly. We started catching a mix of grunts, porkfish, lane snapper, short muttons, and even a Spanish mackerel. It wasn’t trophy fishing, but it was steady action that kept everyone engaged. By around 10:30 a.m., that bite had tapered off, so we gave the boils one more shot as the outgoing tide began to move. I was hopeful the current shift would fire things up, but after several drifts with no bites, it was clear
it wasn’t happening. From there, we moved to our Margate spot to finish filling the cooler. That proved to be the right call. Drifting jigs tipped with shrimp produced steady action. We boxed several large black margate, picked up some solid lane snapper, three quality mangrove snapper, and a number of mutton snapper in the 15–17-inch range, along with the usual assortment of bycatch. We stayed on that bite until we ran out of bait around noon.
We headed back to the dock with a mixed bag: five black margate, four lane snapper, three mangrove snapper, one croaker, and one Spanish mackerel. Back at the dock, Chason wanted to learn to fillet fish, so I handed him my backup knife and walked him through the process as I cleaned alongside him.
A few days later, Lizzy and Chason came over to enjoy the catch. I made fish tacos, which Chason loved. Lizzy isn’t much of a fish eater, so she and Tania went with chicken instead, but it was a great way to wrap up a memorable trip.
June has arrived! Summertime fun in the sun and lots of drag screaming action. The wind has been abnormally windy the past week.
The snook are starting to gather in local inlets and beaches. Live baits and Doa 3” shad tail will get the strike. Early morning and late evening tend to provide the best bite for anglers. Anglers looking target fish inside sea walls are holding a plethora of snook as well, high outgoing tide best time to sight cast snook laying up.
Tarpon fanatics the Silver Kings are roaming the intercoastal waters and beaches as well. The bigger fish tend to be on the beaches early morning best time to locate the big tarpon. A Doa bait buster or pilchard best way to get the strike. Schooling fish on the inside anglers can sight cast to rolling fish. Live bait and Doa terror eyz excellent baits to get hooked up with the tarpon.
Anglers looking for a plethora of species, bottom fishing has been excellent for lane snapper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, and
yellowtail snapper. Also in the mix, jacks, blue runners, barracuda, grunts, and many other species are willing to take a live bait or dead bait on the bottom.
That is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed.
June has been hot and wet so far, windy conditions added to tough conditions for anglers. The bite has been consistent, as anglers wrangle fish and navigate the weather.
Snook fishing has been fantastic along beaches and inlets and along ICW targeting seawalls. Live pilchards and mullet great baits to entice the line siders. Both sides of the tide are great for targeting snook
Tarpon fishing is
excellent along the beaches first thing in the morning schooling fish can be found in the local inlets and in the ICW. Live bait free lined with the tide great way to get hooked up with silver king. Artificial baits like flies and Doa terror eyz excellent ways to get hooked up with a tarpon.
Jacks, barracuda, snapper, ladyfish and many other species are willing to put a bend in the rod.
