This Week's Article |
Wired Up
Early spring, most of us are getting ready for a
big summer on the water and handling a few last minute maintenance
projects on the boat. A few weeks back I got the guys with T Top
Covers to replace all the canvas on my T Top and put together a new
“phone booth” for me. To do this I had to remove my radar antenna,
VHF antenna, all my overhead electronics, disconnect my spreader
lights, stern light, and remove my electronics box. While I had
everything taken apart I decided to go ahead and add another VHF
this one equipped with the DSC emergency feature and trouble shoot
my lighting on my instrument gauges that was working sporadically.
My wife was real excited to get the new canvas and T Top cover did
an excellent job as usual; however, she was not so excited when I
told her I was going to be out working on the boat for the next
3-nights after work wiring everything back together.

Members of the public are encouraged to submit
applications to the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council for
seats currently available on its advisory panels. Working at the
grass roots level, advisory panel members provide information and
guidance in the development and implementation of federal fishery
management plans. The Council has 15 separate advisory panels
composed of individuals who are engaged in the harvest of, or are
knowledgeable and interested in the conservation and management of
the fishery or group of fishes to be managed. Members include
recreational and commercial fishermen, seafood dealers and
processors, conservationists, scientists, and concerned citizens.
Advisory panel members are appointed by the Council and
serve for a three-year period, based on the frequency of meetings.
As those appointments expire, members currently serving on the AP

all meetings. Applications are now being solicited for the following

The Final Word |
It’s
April, but we are still feeling the wrath of the March winds
here in the lowcountry. Fortunately those that are finding
the narrow windows in the weather are also finding some nice
fish. Based off the reports inshore the Reds are gathered up
in large schools on the flats. Water clarity has been poor
this week due to the wind so it has been a little hard to
find the fish. As far as artificials the Reds are hitting
scented grubs and jerk baits. There are some live finger
mullet moving into the creeks currently and the Reds are
also are hitting dead shrimp or cut mullet. We are all
holding tight for the big Trout bite rebound. There was some
decent activity just prior to this weeks heavy winds and
with the water temperatures hovering around the 60-degree
mark the Trout should be on over the next several weeks. If
you can find a calm day the big sheepshead are at the rocks
as well as the nearshore reefs. Big fiddlers just over the
reef are producing fish in excess of the 10-pound mark!
Offshore fishing has been limited due to the wind this
week. Over the last couple of weeks there have been good
catches of large sea bass, a few snapper as well as some
nice grouper. As far as trolling action, there are some real
good temperature breaks out there right now, but it has been
hard to find a good concentration of fish. Looks like most
are just picking at the Wahoo, some small Dolphin and a few
Black Fin.

lines…
