Recipe of the Week |
Pork and Shrimp Fried
Rice
Ingredients:
4 cups day old cooked rice
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups of pork, diced
8 oz. shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 tablespoons sesame or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
pepper to taste
Directions:
Begin by cooking the pork in a tiny bit of oil in a
wok or large skillet over medium high heat. It
should be cooked through in about 8 minutes or so
depending how large the dice is. Once it’s cooked,
remove it from the pan and set it aside. Leave the
pork drippings in the pan and add more oil and the
onions, letting them cook for about 3 minutes. Add
the garlic and cook for another minute, making sure
not to burn it. Add peas and carrots and sauté
another few minutes. At this point, you can add the
shrimp. They will cook very quickly — in about 3-4
minutes. Add back the pork, the rice , the soy sauce
and a dash of pepper. Mix it well. Then let it sit
in the pan for a few minutes while the rice absorbs
the flavors and gets a little crunchy. Now make a
well in the middle of the mixture with your
spoon. Add the beaten eggs to the well and scramble
them directly into the pan. Once they’ve cooked
through, give the entire mixture another good toss,
and taste it to see if you need additional soy sauce
and serve.

How Much
Boat Can You Afford
I’ve often heard it said that the price of a boat is
not in buying it, but in keeping it. I see people all the time that
buy a boat with a payment they are reaching to make. They may take
into account insurance, but they rarely see all of the other
expenses that accompany a boat purchase. Last year one of the big
things that hit people was the price to fuel up and fish. Many boat
owners found their boats sitting more than fishing and after doing
some quick math, they realized that their boats were too expensive
to be sitting, so they sold. There are many things to think about
when you try and determine how much boat you can afford. Some things
to think about are taxes, storage, tackle, safety gear, fuel
consumption, and the wide open category of maintenance. Some
maintenance items are regularly scheduled and predictable, like
motor maintenance, trailer maintenance or bottom cleaning if you are
keeping the boat in the water. Other items are not scheduled and can
catch you by surprise like electronics failing, motor problems and
things that break over time. The sun and elements are hard on boat
items like cushions and canvas tops, over time all of these things
begin to add up and this is where the phrase,” a boat is a hole in
the water that you throw money into” or the acronym BOAT, which
stands for “break out another thousand” With all of this said I
cannot imagine myself without a boat and have been very careful not
to overextend myself when purchasing a boat. It is easy to go to the
shows and want to buy the top of the line boat for the type of
fishing you like to do, but the last thing you want is for your boat
to become a source of stress instead of an item you use to relax. |

Dolphin Research
Newsletter
Marine Anglers,
Dolphin season has started in the Bahamas and southern
Florida. You can tell because the weather has warmed up and it is
blowing a gale. Once again it will be interesting to see what the
year will bring in abundance and distribution of the dolphin, tuna,
wahoo and billfish.
Seven tags have already by reported recovered. Four of the
recoveries have been in foreign waters, Dominican Republic, Bahamas
and now Cuba. These recoveries are beginning to map out the
movements of dolphin in these distant waters and reveal their
relationship to the fish in U.S. Waters. Slowly but surely we are
building a migratory map for dolphin in the western Atlantic while
revealing behavioral variations between regions.
It is going to be an exciting year. With the growing number
of dedicated and new anglers, I think we will see more tagging in
areas that have had little activity before while maintaining a high
level of activity in the South Atlantic Bight.
What new facets about the movements of dolphin will be
revealed this year? I can’t wait to see.
Good fishing,

The Final Word |
Weather
conditions this past week made fishing really tough.
Offshore conditions left everyone on the hill wishing they
were fishing. If we can get a pretty day the dolphin should
be picking up and the blackfin tuna are here. Only time will
tell if we get a decent run of yellowfin tuna this year.
Inshore the fish did cooperate for those who wanted a case
of wind burn. The redfish are hitting a variety of
artificial and live bait. Mudminnows and live shrimp have
been very effective. Artificials like gulp shrimp and other
soft plastics are doing very well also. The trout fishing
seems to be a little hit and miss, but should get better
with the rising water temperatures. There are some
sheepshead being caught inshore and out over the artificial
reefs. Live fiddler crabs are your best bait. Hopefully the
weather will start to shape up a little more and the spring
fishing will kick off with a bang.
Tight
lines…
