BoatUS Endorses America's Waterway Watch Program

A Neighborhood Watch-Style Terrorism Deterrent
     As America enters a new era of increased terrorist threats at home, citizens across the country are being asked to keep on the lookout for suspicious activities. BoatUS believes recreational boaters can do their part through "America's Waterway Watch," a program that enlists the active participation of those who play, work or live around America's waterways. Similar to the successful Neighborhood Watch programs that ask community residents to report suspicious activities to local law enforcement agencies, Waterway Watch is a combined effort of the US Coast Guard and its Auxiliary and Reserve components.
     "We believe that many boaters are willing to play a part in securing our waterways and provide the Coast Guard with information about activities that may appear strange or unusual," said BoatUS President Nancy Michelman. "This is a grassroots effort to engage the boating public in the quest for information that could prevent a possible terrorist attack. To participate, it is as easy as keeping the 1-877-24WATCH (877-249-2824) phone number aboard your boat, and using it when something seems out of place," continued Michelman.
     "Hopefully, potential terrorists will think twice about using America's waterways if they know that suspicious behavior is being monitored by recreational boaters," said Michelman. She cautioned boaters against approaching or challenging anyone behaving in a suspicious manner as well as trying to act as an agent for law enforcement. Boaters should simply report suspicious activity, she noted.
     To find out more about the program, learn how to recognize suspicious behavior and how to report an incident using specific details, view an informational video online, or find out about promotional materials available for boat clubs or marinas, go to http://www.AmericasWaterwayWatch.org

     With a low sitting just off the coast we have had some strong north east wind and now some soggy weather. Looks like the wind will slow some for the weekend and the rain should move out of here by Saturday afternoon. The creeks are loaded with bait, plenty of finger mullet, mud minnows and bait shrimp. Trout, Flounder and Redfish action remains good in the creeks and harbor. 7-foot tides and a little wind enabled quite a few folks to get on the reds in the grass last weekend. Gulp crabs, live crabs, and gold spoons were the bait of choice. There are still some real nice menhaden just off the beach at Morris Island and the larger mullet are schooling in the surf. A few Tarpon are being hooked around the North Edisto. The deep holes and surf are producing the big reds on live mullet and menhaden.
     Offshore action has been non existent this week due to the wind. When weather improves the Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin and Sails continue to move back through as water temperatures fall. From last weeks report some nice grouper and snapper are still being caught in 100-feet and beyond.
