Time is running out for state grant funding for derelict boat removal from Florida waters. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission only has about 20 percent or less of $1.4 million in grant money left for statewide derelict vessel removal in this yearÂs budget. ItÂs unknown if the state will provide more funding in the future as areas deal with the challenge of abandoned boats, a serious pollution and health threat. ÂThere is a statewide problem with derelict boats,ÂŽ said Phil Horning, FWC derelict vessel program administrator. ÂHaving a derelict boat is a crime in progress.ÂŽ The “rst-come-“rst-served application deadline is April 30 or when the funding is gone. Grants are open to state, county and city governments. The grant could be helpful to Charlotte and Sarasota county government leaders who receive ongoing complaints from residents about derelict or abandoned boats in Lemon Bay, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. ÂThe FWC will pay for 75 percent of the vessel removal, and the applicant must pay the other 25 percent,ÂŽ Horning said. Horning said recently that no applications from Charlotte or Sarasota have been received for the grant money. ÂTraditionally, those two counties use funding from the West Coast Inland Navigation District,ÂŽ he said of the WCIND, which receives money through a tax district. ÂThat doesnÂt mean that these governments canÂt apply for our funding. ThereÂs still a commitment necessary from the local governments to pay the 25 percent, but it should be helpful that the majority of the removal is covered with the state funding.ÂŽ FWC applied for a new $1.4 million allotment from state legislators this session. Horning said FWC wonÂt know if it receives the new funding until May or June.

Derelict vessels are an eyesore, sometimes dangerous to navigate around, cause environmental issues and are costly to remove. State and local agencies are combating the problem slowly by setting aside funding for derelict vessel KEY WEST, Fla. „ Marine salvors have been racing to get 32 abandoned boats off the bottom in Marquesas Keys waters before birds arrive. A crew removed seven deteriorating vessels, many holding hazardous materials, oily residue, fuels and other pollutants. The Keynoter reports the $61,200 project is aimed at helping protected species like green and hawksbill sea turtles, the Miami blue butter”y and the piping plover. The Marquesas, six islands about 17 miles west of Key West, lie within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the Florida Keys National Wildlife Refuges Complex. Most of the derelict boats ended in waters and shores of the Marquesas as Cuban migrants ”ed north. The removal project aims to conclude before bird-nesting season on the remote islands begins April 1.

ÂIs there some way, please, that you can determine whether we have gotten ourselves into trouble?ÂŽ Searching the Mississippi-based number on PaulÂs Caller ID on 800notes.com, I found many entries from consumers saying callers from this number claimed they were ÂMedicare providers,ÂŽ and that their ÂrecordsÂŽ showed a history of back pain. More likely than not, PaulÂs wife was called by a Medicare scammer, offering a free service, or medical equipment, and requesting Medicare insurance information.

You wind up getting some assorted Velcro wraps, and Medicare is billed $3,000. Diabetic-related products are also popular.

Our Town Page 4 E/N/C www.yoursun.com The Sun / Friday, March 24, 2017 slowed efforts after Monday, with work continuing through this weekend to remove the derelict Âchugs,ÂŽ boats rigged with old engines. Most are between 18 and 25 feet long. ÂRemoval of these vessels and marine debris is critical for the continued conservation of these rare animals and their habitats because if left as is, they would likely continue to impact this important habitat,ÂŽ said Daniel Clark, manager of the Keys wildlife refuge system. ÂWe are pleased to be a part of this multi-agency effort and thank the county, state and other federal partners as we work together to ensure these precious ecosystems remain in good condition for future generations.ÂŽ Several are completely submerged. ÂOthers are strewn along sandy beaches and mangrovesÂŽ considered essential nesting areas for sea turtles and birds, county information of“cer Cammy Clark said. ÂCof“n Marine Services will use a 60-foot barge with a boom crane and other resources to remove the boats.ÂŽ The project is logistically complicated due to the remote location and specialized boats and equipment necessary to perform the job, said Marine Resources senior administrator Rich Jones. Jones said the county uses some of the local share of state Boating Improvement Funds to remove derelict boats throughout the Keys, usually about 80 a year. This is the “rst project of its type in the Marquesas. Some of the funding will come from federal “nes levied on boaters who damaged resources in the Keys national marine sanctuary.BIRDSFROM PAGE 1have noticed orphan boats showing up in greater numbers in recent years, according to BoatUS Magazine. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration held the “rst national workshop to bring the problem to the surface in 2009, the magazine reported. NOAA, which advises agencies on the potential pollution threats for shorelines and marshes, describes how the ”attened landscape of wild greens and blues is occasionally punctuated by the unnatural texture of human in”uence of a certain type: rusting hills, broken masts, boats half-submerged in the muddy waters.ÂŽ A vessel is considered derelict if itÂs in danger of breaking or has already broken loose from its anchor. In 2016, the state law further de“ned a derelict vessel as one that is left or stored aground unattended in such a state that would prevent it from getting underway, is listing due to water intrusion, or is sunk or partially sunk. ÂWe have a database we created to log derelict boats,ÂŽ said Horning, who concedes there could be more going unrecorded. ÂItÂs a voluntary program used by 59 law enforcement agencies in Florida.ÂŽ Recent FWC data shows 191 derelict vessels are hazards to navigation and 297 are not hazards but are still considered derelict. Of the 488 derelict boats, eight are in Charlotte County and six in Sarasota County „ no local derelict vessels are deemed hazardous. A new law helps local law enforcement identify Âat riskÂŽ vessels of becoming derelict. Now a FWC commission of“cer or other law enforcement agency can decide if a vessel is at risk of becoming derelict. Risk factors include: if the vessel is taking on or has water without an effective means to dewater or if the spaces on the vessel „ designed to be enclosed „ are incapable of being sealed off or remain open to the elements for extended periods. The owner of an at-risk boat can be “ned a non-criminal citation and given time to pay the “ne or “x the violations. ÂNo county legally has to remove derelict vessels,ÂŽ Horning said, Âbut it having them in local waters doesnÂt promote safe marine navigation, is an eyesore and can impact tourism. ItÂs a costly endeavor. Funding has to be allocated by a county, which makes decisions on marine projects.ÂŽ Prior to 2010, the law only allowed law enforcement to give a reminder to remove a derelict boat. Today, a boat owner can be cited and even serve jail time over a vessel that is beyond Âat riskÂŽ and is considered derelict, Horning said. FWC works with local governments and law enforcement to investigate, locate owners and help with vessel removal. ÂFWC gives authority so a local sheriffÂs of“ce or municipal police department can do their own investigations,ÂŽ Horning said. ÂWe are just one agency who does investigations. We oversee the operation for the state. ... We help modify or make laws that helps to regulate vessel guidelines. We help train of“cers and the investigation and give law enforcement agencies use of our database. We also assist in preventative measures to help prevent derelict vessels. ItÂs our mandate.ÂŽ A new Charlotte County ordinance now mirrors state language making it easier for of“cials to remove abandoned boats and water crafts from all public waterways. ÂIt gives us broader ability to remove all these boats,ÂŽ said Roger DeBruler Jr., marine resource program assistant for the countyÂs natural resources division. DeBruler said the owners of these vessels canÂt be found in about 80 percent of the cases. When a boat owner can be tracked down through the registration with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, a letter is sent seeking reimbursement for removal. County of“cials deemed abandoned boats pose a navigational hazard. Last year, Charlotte removed 26 boats abandoned off county shores. The countyÂs contractor charges $89 per foot, so a 33-foot vessel, for example, would cost about $3,000. Last year, the county spent from $35,000 to $45,000 to pick up other peopleÂs discarded boats, he said. Possessing a derelict boat Âis punishable as a “rst-degree misdemeanor,ÂŽ Horning said. ÂWe are trying to stop the problem before it becomes a hazard on the water.ÂŽDERELICTFROM PAGE 1 FWC PHOTODerelict vessels, like this one, are hazardous to navigation, safety and the environment. Where the boats areWhile Florida is known for its boating lifestyle, there are few places in the state that really live it like Charlotte County. At the most recent count in 2015, there were 20,026,564 Floridians and 915,713 boats registered here. ThatÂs about one boat per 22 people. But in Charlotte, there are 21,662 boats. ThatÂs about one boat per eight people. ThatÂs a higher ratio than any other Southwest Florida county. Sarasota County has virtually the same number of boats as Charlotte at 21,783, but a much larger population, resulting in about one boat per 18 people. DeSoto and Lee counties both have one boat per 15 people. Only a handful of sparsely populated coastal Panhandle counties „ Dixie, Franklin, Gulf, Liberty, Taylor and Wakulla „ and the Florida Keys, can boast a higher rate of boat ownership. Monroe County, where the Keys are located, is the champ, with about one boat per three people. You might be a bad boat owner if ƒ After hurricanes and major storms, a surprising number of recreational vessels that were totaled were never salvaged by their owners, according BoatUS Magazine. Some insurance companies have written checks for the insured amount plus a percentage of the value that the owner was supposed to use to salvage the boat. There were cases of owners attempting to obliterate the boatÂs registration and hull identification numbers to duck their responsibilities. ThatÂs felony dumping in Florida, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Other potential ramifications: restitution to cover salvaging costs, community service, probation and loss of motor vehicle as well as boat-registration privileges. „ Source: BoatUS Magazine A newer source for addressing abandoned boatsLast year, the West Coast Inland Navigation District began to address the issue of funding derelict vessel removal in the region „ including Charlotte, Sarasota and Manatee counties.The tax district offer grants to local law enforcement and counties for vessel removal programs. This year, the Venice-based organization received $1.6million in grant requests for everything from youth sailing programs in Englewood, Venice and Sarasota to law enforcement asking for vessel-removal funds or tools to remove boats. According to a grant application submitted from Sarasota County, there are more than 21,000 vessels registered in the county with thousands more visiting boats. ÂKeeping the public waterways safe from derelict vessels and other navigation hazards,ÂŽ and maintaining the critically important aids to navigation, including channel markers, swim buoys, manatee protection signs, speed zone and hazard warning signage is the primary effort of the waterway management program, according to the $28,000 vessel removal request from the county. Longboat Key also asked for $10,000 for removal of sunk, wrecked and derelict vessels from the Gulf of Mexico. ÂAll counties in the region are doing a good job focusing on vessel removal,ÂŽ said Justin McBride, executive director of the West Coast Inland Navigation District. ÂWe are seeing thereÂs more of a concern in being proactive instead of reactive in trying to stop the problem before a vessel becomes derelict. We may have to look at changes in the law as far as storage or mooring that will stop the vessels from becoming abandoned.ÂŽ Those grants will be issued in the fall. Abandoned boats typically come from two sources, said Roger DeBruler Jr., marine resource program assistant for the Charlotte CountyÂs natural resources division. Some owners simply grow tired of boating, or the cost associated with the recreational activity. And sometimes a storm or hurricane forces a vesselÂs anchor line to break, causing the boat to suffer significant damage or to sink. Abandoned vessels pose a danger because they may contain hazardous materials, such as a battery or fuel, which could cause the vehicle to explode upon impact. Phil Horning, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation CommissionÂs derelict boat program administrator, said each vessel removal is different based on if itÂs grounded or is listing or canÂt operate under its own power, if thereÂs fuel in the boat, or has hatches open to elements. Towing broken vessels can require significant effort. A sunken boat must first be brought to the surface with large air bags inflated under the vessel. The hole or crack in the boat then has to be plugged before it is towed to a marina, busted up and taken to the landfill. PHOTO PROVIDED PHOTO PROVIDED Pilot programSarasota and St. Petersburg are two of five communities in the state taking part in a pilot program to fast-track the removal of boats, which presents a dicey issue in itself. Declaring a boat derelict isnÂt so easy, as it turns out. Boat owners who tend to do the bare minimum in maintenance are often very simply squatters, using their boat as a floating crash pad. They camp out for extended periods in waterways where they can live off the grid and not be bothered. Other boats are used as floating storage units. Either way, many boats tend to be unregistered, untitled and change hands often, eluding local and state law enforcement. As long as a boat is floating, itÂs hard for officials to haul it off, even if it has broken free of its mooring and winds up beached on someoneÂs multimillion-dollar property. This is where the problem starts. ÂI understand the publicÂs concern,ÂŽ said Officer Randy Bibler of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. ÂBut much of the public doesnÂt understand how the process has to be handled.ÂŽ Since 2009, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, St. Augustine and Monroe and Martin counties have been the five locations in the Anchoring and Mooring Pilot Program, overseen by the fish and wildlife commission. At the end of the program, which is due to expire in July, state authorities are supposed to come up with legislation that will restrict anchoring that local governments will enforce or allow local governments to come up with their own ordinances. ÂI would like to see the state severely restrict or eliminate altogether the storing of boats on the waterways,ÂŽ said Mike Robertson, who heads up St. PetersburgÂs marine unit and its two patrol boats. „ Source: Tampa Bay Times „ Source: WaterLineFROM PAGE ONE A NEW SOURCE FOR ADDRESSING ABANDONED BOATS WHERE THE BOATS ARE You might be a bad boat owner if ƒ PILOT PROGRAM

Kingsley, 59, was named by Superintendent Todd Bowden on Wednesday following the 4-1 approval of his 2017-18 school budget Tuesday. Prior to her appointment Kingsley served as the districtÂs executive director of elementary education since February 2015. Before BowdenÂs appointment in January, he stressed he wanted to reinstate the assistant superintendent position to provide him with support in K-12 education. As executive director, Kingsley worked on a task force to close the achievement gap between white and minority students. She also worked closely with foundations, teachers and administrators to help students strengthen their reading skills and supporting community programs to help bolster school attendance. Kingsley began working in the school district in 1985 where she taught at Emma E. Booker Elementary, and served as supervising teacher for interns and a mentor for new teachers until 1995. In 1995 and again in 2000, she served as assistant principal of Emma E. Booker, and in 1997 she was named assistant principal of Laurel Nokomis School, a position she held until 1999. From 1999 to 2014, Kingsley served as principal of Fruitville Elementary, where she was named Sarasota County Principal of the Year in 2012. Kingsley has also been awarded the Council for Exceptional Children Principal of the Year and Florida Studio Theater Educator of the Year.

Email: aherrera@sun-herald.comNew Sarasota County Schools assistant superintendent named By ALEXANDRA HERRERA STAFF WRITER ENGLEWOOD „ Patience is whatÂs needed to get onto or off Manasota Key via Beach Road. But patience is whatÂs running thin as traf“c backs up onto South McCall Road (State Road 776). Quinn Construction crews working on the bridge have been closing one lane at the Tom Adams Bridge, alternating traf“c on and off the barrier island between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The time was partially chosen to allow school buses access to Manasota Key without delays. ÂWeÂve had tons of complaints,ÂŽ said Ed Hill, executive director of the Englewood Florida Chamber of Commerce. ÂThereÂs a lot of frustration.ÂŽ The winter season with its additional motorists is aggravating the situation. Even though the chamber is located nearly a mile north from the South McCall-Beach Road intersection, Hill said heÂs seen traf“c stacking up to turn right onto Beach Road. Traf“c from the south, wanting to make a left turn onto Beach Road, is also stacking up. Lock ÂN Key general manager Scott Barber said the restaurant has seen a slight drop of repeat business from locals and other patrons. He believes itÂs partially due to the inconvenience motorists are experiencing. ÂBut itÂs not just the businesses „ itÂs about the people here,ÂŽ Barber said, citing how not only residents, but six-month, three-month, one-month visitors and tourists have to deal with the delays on Manasota Key. The periodic lane closures are expected to continue to April 21. From June 15 to July 15, the Tom Adams Bridge will be closed completely, allowing construction crews to pour and set new concrete slabs at the base of the drawbridge. The contractor is required to give a two-week notice in advance for that closure. Motorists will have to head to the north bridge on Manasota Beach Road if they want to get on and off the island.ÂDifficult situationÂCharlotte County Public Works project manager Chuck Koons said, ÂItÂs a very dif“cult situation.ÂŽ Jack Knowlton agrees. ÂWe understand the problem,ÂŽ said Knowlton, the spokesperson for American Consulting Engineering, the “rm thatÂs acting as the project manager for the improvements to the 53-year-old bridge. ÂBut by the same token, that bridge is in desperate need of repairs,ÂŽ Knowlton said. The construction work is running on schedule, he said, and should be completed this summer. ÂThis is a one (winter) season problem,ÂŽ he said. The $10-million project „ paid with Charlotte CountyÂs share of gas taxes „ called for the construction of a new and higher bridge tender house, electrical and mechanical repairs, new sidewalks and other work to the bridge. The bridge tender house is completed. Some asked why the work couldnÂt be at night, so as to minimize traf“c con”icts, but Knowlton said that could add $2 million to the existing budget. Koons described the bridge project as having a Âpretty tight budgetÂŽ as it is. Night work requires higher pay for the crews and more individuals onsite. Knowlton suggested, too, safety hazards increase. While lighting would be directed away from traf“c, lights create blinding bright spots and darken blind spots for workers, compounding the danger due to the lack of visibility. ÂMore people could be injured,ÂŽ he said. Also, just as more motorists are on the road during the winter season, more boaters are traveling along the Intracoastal Waterway on Lemon Bay. That means more times the drawbridge is opened and closed. Until recently, the Tom Adams Bridge opened and closed on a prede“ned schedule. But now, the bridge is open Âupon demand.ÂŽ Late Wednesday morning, Knowlton was on-site and said he saw the bridge open and close three times within 20 minutes. The opening and closing of the bridge takes anywhere from three to “ve minutes to complete. ÂWhen the bridge goes up, it really stacks up traf“c,ÂŽ he said. ÂThe bridge operator is doing the best he can.ÂŽ When it comes to directing traf“c through the closures, Koons said itÂs better to allow longer lines of vehicles, rather than a dozen or fewer vehicles, to pass onto or off Manasota Key. Koons also pointed out it takes time for the last vehicle to clear the onelane closure before vehicles are ”agged to proceed from the other direction. ÂIt takes a long time for (traf“c) to clear out,ÂŽ he said.Email: reilly@sun-herald.comBridge work stacking up Englewood traffic By STEVE REILLYSTAFF WRITER SUN PHOTO BY SANDY MACYSTrac backing up on Beach Road from the Tom Adams Bridge to State Road 776 is a daily sight in Englewood. ItÂs the height of the winter season, combined with construction on the bridge, that contribute to the long waits on sunny days. Not to mention, the bridge goes up to let boats pass on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Between winter season trac and an increase in drawbridge openings and closings, trac has been stacking up onto South McCall Road (State Road 776). The project is expected to be completed this summer.

LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWSFifty-two women shouted, ÂLeave me alone!ÂŽ while striking a punching bag with one knee, held by a partner. It was part of a free self-defense class and hosted by the Charlotte County SheriffÂs Of“ce, in partnership with Al ShumanÂs ATA Black Belt Academy at the Port Charlotte Beach Complex on Wednesday night. Women learned Âstun and runÂŽ techniques, designed to help them get away from a situation long enough to get help. ÂEvery woman needs to feel con“dent and self-empowered to be able to do something should they come across a situation where they are being violated physically or otherwise,ÂŽ said Crime Prevention Specialist Dale Phillips, who organized the class. Women learned different pressure points to exploit weaknesses and escape an aggressor, as well as basic safety tips like being aware of surroundings and using their voice to show force. ÂYouÂre not going to kill anyone,ÂŽ Phillips said. ÂYouÂre just going to stun them enough to get away.ÂŽ Al Shuman, who has partnered with the SheriffÂs Of“ce to teach womenÂs self-defense classes for 14 years, said the point is empowerment. Women learn basic ideas of self-defense and gain con“dence in ways they can carry themselves so they can escape a dangerous situation. One attendee, Connie, who asked to not be identi“ed by her last name, said sheÂs typically more of a Âdeer in the headlightsÂŽ person, but the class made her feel more con“dent that she could take control of a situation. She had never taken anything like it before. Michele Ross said sheÂs taken Taekwondo, but it didnÂt include the safety tips and pressure points that can help women get away from attackers. One of the most important things she learned was to yell, so others realize they should get involved to help. She said the twohour class was fun as well as educational. ÂEveryone should know how to do this stuff,ÂŽ Ross said. In concluding the class, Phillips told all of the women to never give up. ÂYou can do anything you have to do to get out of a situation,ÂŽ she said. CCSO schedules the free defense classes for women a few times a year, but thereÂs typically a waiting list, Phillips said. The next class is tentatively scheduled for September. Anyone interested can get more information on Facebook, or stop at any district of“ce to register. Space will be limited to the “rst 50 women who sign up.

Tendentious drivel from the left Trump stirs strife in Republican Party Make Sable Trace a par-three course Send criminals to Germany Trac too heavy at Peachland corner Conservatives have reason for hope Sell White House to pay down debtEditor: What will the cost be of the era of Trump? Assuming the legitimacy of cause and effect, shall we dare to predict? Will the operating principle of ÂAmerica FirstÂŽ lead to global cooperation and collaboration, assuming we believe in win-win end products? Will signi“cantly building the military muscle of the worldÂs only superpower lead to more cooperation and collaboration worldwide, assuming we believe in peaceful coexistence? Will signi“cantly decreasing support for our environmental health and well-being improve living conditions domestically and internationally, assuming we value clean water and clean air and our grandchildren? Will signi“cantly cutting Âpeople programsÂŽ lead to a more responsible citizenry and equitable distribution of goods and services, assuming we value all people? Will supporting the return of the mining and manufacturing jobs of yesteryear cause the return of prosperity, assuming we accept the current economic, technological and global trends? Will supporting the news that we like and discounting all that does not “t our notion of truth lead to a well -informed populace, assuming we accept the primacy of objective evidence over subjective opinion? Will seeking a larger Âpiece of the pieÂŽ for those who look like me, speak my language, worship my God or accept my secular world view, at the expense of those who differ from me, enrich me, assuming I believe Âall men/women, wherever, are deserving?ÂŽMickey DesCheneaux North PortEditor: In the world I live in people are peacefully going about their affairs as usual. Donald Trump Editor: The Trump and Ryan focus on a health care plan has ripped the Republican Party in Congress into three pieces. The first piece is Trump and people like his press spokesman. Trump has already disassociated himself from Ryan, and now refers to his number one item on his agenda as Ryan Care. We now know the proposed legislation would throw off seniors, and provide meaningless tax credits of $2,000 for younger participants and $4,000 tax credits for older citizens. The truth is younger participants would probably not participate, and seniors could not afford to participate in the later years of the bill, which means at least 14 million non-participants in the “rst allay, and in the later years almost double. This leaves Trump and company, Ryan and his cohorts pushing a bill Democrats detest, but now we see there is an additional group „ we can call them compassionate Republicans „ that with the above knowledge will not support the new version „ which could mean the legislation is dead on arrival (DOA). Editor: We are snowbirds from Indianapolis and have a winter home here in North Port. It is really sad that Sable Trace Golf Course is such a mess and no one is doing anything about it. We are not avid golfers, but we would play golf if there was a par-three golf course. I believe there are many seniors and year-round residents who would love a par-three golf course. Sable Trace could be a nine-hole, par-three and also have a miniature golf course for family recreation. We believe it would de“nitely be pro“table.Judy McEvoy North PortEditor: How stupid are we? IÂll tell you how stupid we are. We donÂt secure our borders. We are overridden with trespassers. When those trespassers commit a serious crime we try to send them back to their home country. They refuse to take them. We release them onto our streets, because we have laws against holding them inde“nitely. I ask you, do we release our citizens who are arrested for serious crimes? Yes and no. We have a system of bonding out and tracking criminals until their court dates. With the trespassers, its a get-out-ofjail-free card. The refusal to deal with trespassers appropriately endangers our citizens. Had we not let them in, or allowed them to stay in the “rst place, we wouldnÂt be facing this problem. Just enforce our laws and protect our people. ItÂs not rocket science, it is the law. And, hey, letÂs send all our criminals to a country with the same open-border policy as us. The Netherlands or Germany come to mind.Wilma Howe EnglewoodEditor: I have to admit that I am one of the opponents of development at the east end of Peachland. But for other reasons than that of Ânot in my neighborhood.ÂŽ The proposed location is already congested with traf“c. Just stand at the intersection of Peachland and Veterans at 4 p.m. and witness the chaos. Will there be a traf“c study done prior to any permitting? Repeated calls to people at the county administration building go unanswered over and over. Seems like the invention of recorded messages, ÂLeave a message and weÂll get back to you,ÂŽ gives the workers a way of not having to deal with the public. Richard Sajdak Port CharlotteEditor: I never thought IÂd see the day when liberal Democrat Alan Derschowitz and I agreed on anything, much less that he would support President TrumpÂs travel ban. It has even been reported that he said if President Obama issued the exact same ban, it would have been upheld. That is a stunning admission that once again gives conservatives hope for the future. It is exciting to “nd common ground and gives us a platform to build on.R. Earl Warren EnglewoodEditor: Just a thought: Since Donald Trump wants to play golf every weekend, and his wife doesnÂt want to live in the White House, why not sell the White House and they can live in Mar-a-Lago year-round? Thus saving us taxpayers the expense of running him back and forth from D.C. to Mara-Lago and the expense of upkeep on the White House, and use all the money saved to pay down the national debt.Larry L. Betz Port CharlotteThe ears have it: Disney workers get restitution Derelict boats, derelict ownersItÂs easy to get caught up in the magic of Disney World and forget about the mega entertainment conglomerate behind the theme park mecca in Orlando. The Walt Disney Co. has its hand on a number of other companies and projects that go way beyond the theme-park experience. And, with that in mind, there are shareholders that must be kept happy. Sometimes the penny-pinching to make a pro“t is troubling and to many of us „ especially those who shell out the cash for the Disney experience „ it seems tri”ing. A good example came to light recently when the Disney Co. agreed to pay $3.8 million in back wages to Florida workers for violating minimum wage and overtime rules as part of an agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor. It seems the company requires employees who dress up in those cute costumes to foot the bill for those out“ts. Unlike the guy at the local garage whose shirts might be supplied, complete with his name over the pocket, DisneyÂs cast of characters must pay for their more elaborate costumes. And, when they deducted the price of the costume from paychecks it pushed most workers pay below minimum wage. The problem impacted 16,000 workers at the Disney Vacation Club Management Corp. and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts in Florida. It is dif“cult to imagine employees at such a successful industry „ and one that charges more than $100 on average to visit and another $20 for parking „ have to pay for costumes. It takes some of the glitter off the magic for us.Since man (and woman) “rst “gured out how to ”oat a boat, humanity has been maneuvering around the ”otsam of wrecks and vessels abandoned for one reason or another. Not much of a problem hundreds of years ago, when there werenÂt all that many humans crammed along the shoreline. More now that we are so crammed. Derelict vessels are hazards. They may be unhealthful. Sitting in the water, decaying, they may be considered unsightly. Florida is a boating state with hundreds of miles of Gulf and Atlantic shoreline. WeÂve got dinghies and yachts, sailboats and speedboats. And, like decrepit old cars left in a parking lot, weÂve got to deal with derelict vessels abandoned by their owners. So we do. As noted in a Page 1 story today, the state has laws de“ning what is ÂderelictÂŽ and what isnÂt. Law enforcement agencies maintain a database showing there are 488 out there now. The estimate probably is low. Of that, though, eight are in Charlotte and six in Sarasota County. Not many, which is a good thing. But still, they pose a hazard for the boating public. And cleaning up costs money. Last year, Charlotte County hauled away 26 abandoned boats. The cost of removal? More than $35,000. The public ends up holding the tab. ThatÂs because, unfortunately, itÂs dif“cult to track down owners. One in “ve are typically found. Talk about derelicts. is president and there has been no apocalypse. Employment is up, the stock market is up, illegal immigration is down and future prospects seem to be improving for the neglected middle class. But rabid leftist elements of the Democrat-media complex relentlessly portray America as a dystopian hell-hole where privileged white people are oppressing all others. That nonsense is taken up and further promoted by disaffected leftist academics, puerile college kids suffering from acute 1960s-envy, a few thousand riotous ignoramuses and the like, all of whom have been utterly unable to convince responsible people their professed outrage is justi“ed „ or even genuine. This has descended into farce. Recently, in the White House brie“ng room (of all places), one intrepid ÂjournalistÂŽ invoked his freedom of the press and hilariously accused another of being a white supremacist and a Nazi. Good grief! TheyÂre pulling our chain, folks, but take heart. All the tendentious leftist drivel and anti-American claptrap has become tediously repetitive and will inevitably plop down into a steaming pile of ennui.Bill Hart Punta Gorda On the sidelines are Republican governors like Kasich in Ohio who support the mandates on Medicaid expansion and the growing numbers signing up for Obamacare. Utah and Kentucky also are showing growing numbers on Obamacare. If this legislation continues, Republicans could lose majorities in both houses, making TrumpÂs trip for four years a tough one. Trump is losing on this promise. ÂTell me who you walk with and IÂll tell you who you are.ÂŽ „ Cervantes. We are beginning to know.Bill Weightman North Port

The Sun /Friday, March 24, 2017 www.yoursun.com E/N/C Our Town Page 9 VIEWPOINTThe East Coast Technical Assistance Center recently identi“ed Vineland Elementary School as one of 21 elementary schools in the state to be an Exceeding Expectations Award School. ECTAC is a network of 43 school districts in Florida. ECTAC staff provide assistance to member school districts in the development and implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act Title I program. The Exceeding Expectations Project, now in its “rth year, is an initiative of ECTAC to identify Title I schools in Florida that are exceeding expectations in improving student achievement. School performance was compared overall to 1,833 public elementary schools (including charters), of which 1,195 are Title I schools. Exceeding Expectations Schools were identi“ed using data in the following areas: € English language arts and math achievement; € ELA and math learning gains and lower quartile learning gains; € Science achievement; € School grade. Schools identi“ed as Exceeding Expectations maintained or improved their pro“ciency in both ELA and math from the 2014-2015 school year to the 2015-2016 school year. VES improved pro“ciency in ELA by 1 percent, increasing from 62 percent to 63 percent. Pro“ciency in the area of math at VES increased by 9 percent, from 63 percent to 72 percent. VES was in the top 10 percent statewide in pro“ciency in both ELA and math as ranked among all Title I schools. Improvement in math achievement was particularly notable, ranking in the top 10 percent statewide as compared not only to all Title I schools and elementary schools, but also when ranked among all schools. Learning gains at VES were at or above the state median for both ELA and math. This was the “rst year ECTAC took science achievement into consideration for Exceeding Expectations recognition. Pro“ciency in science achievement had to be greater than 50 percent. At VES, science achievement of students scoring satisfactory or higher was 73 percent, signi“cantly above the 50 percent requirement. VES is ranked 47 out of 1,759 Title I schools in the area of science achievement. This is also in the top 10 percent statewide for this category. Vineland Elementary School, also a FranklinCovey Leader in Me Lighthouse School, has maintained a school grade of A for 15 consecutive years. It is the only school in Charlotte County to sustain this record. In addition to being identi“ed based on Florida Standards Assessment and school grade data, a team from ECTAC visited potential award schools for one day each to interview school stakeholders and observe practices that are contributing to the schoolÂs success. The ECTAC team visited VES in early February to conduct these rigorous interviews. Panels of teachers, support staff, students, parents and community members were interviewed. The ECTAC team also walked through all classrooms in the building conducting informal observations. At the conclusion of the site visit VES was noti“ed there was no question they were indeed an Exceeding Expectations Award School. As a celebration of this accomplishment, a team from VES will participate in the Exceeding Expectations Conference in September. Each award school is asked to present two sessions at this annual conference. Presentation topics will be based on speci“c strengths that were identi“ed by visitation teams during the school site visits. Collaborative leadership and an in-house ongoing professional development model were identi“ed as de“nite strengths at VES. It is quite an honor to be recognized as an Exceeding Expectations Award School. This acknowledgment could not have been realized without the continued hard work and synergy of all stakeholders at VES. Laura C. Blunier is the principal of Vineland Elementary School in Englewood.Vineland gets Exceeding Expectations Award School NotesLaura C. Blunier Depending on your point of view, red-light cameras in Florida are either: A) Of great bene“t to public safety by making drivers think twice when approaching a changing traf“c light; or B) a cash grab by communities that amounts to a back-door tax. Just so weÂre clear, IÂm on the side of Option B. While several communities throughout the state have discontinued use of the cameras for reasons best explained by Option B, the Legislature has never mustered enough support for a complete ban on them. Bless Âem, though, House members keep trying. They are scheduled once again to take up a proposal (HB 6007) by Rep. Bryan Avila, a Hialeah Republican, and Spring Hill Republican Rep. Blaise Ingoglia to repeal laws that permit the cameras. Maybe they will succeed this time. I wish they wouldnÂt stop there, though. I wish that, for once, lawmakers could “nally put their foot down on the practice of texting while driving. Currently, it is only a secondary offense, punishable by a “ne only if of“cers can stop a violator on another charge. The state transportation committee will consider whether to recommend toughening the law by making it a primary offense „ meaning that if an of“cer sees someone obviously texting while driving, they can be pulled over for that. Sadly, even something so obvious is complicated after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it takes a warrant to search a cellphone. ItÂs unlikely a motorist about to be hit with a big “ne for texting would voluntarily turn over their phone. I appreciate the complication. ItÂs worth the battle, though. So why the battle against cameras but support for a texting ban? Simple. In 2015, the state reported nearly 46,000 accidents due to distracted driving. ThatÂs more than 12 percent of all crashes in Florida, and weÂve all had the experience of watching drivers weave in and out of highway lanes while theyÂre focused on their phones instead of the road. Red-light cameras, on the other hand, appear to contribute to crashes as well as being the aforementioned cash grab. The News Service of Florida reported in a four-year study of 148 intersections with cameras, across the state, crashes increased by more than 10 percent. Rear-end collisions were the main culprit. Add to that the fact that cameras are operated by an out-of-state “rm and that appealing the “ne can result in even heavier costs and points on your driverÂs license. People usually give in and pay, and thatÂs not what a law like this should be doing. Get rid of the cameras.

North Port Parks and Recreation Department will offer its “rst Community Health and Wellness Fair, which touts 36 vendors ranging from nonpro“ts to health care providers and businesses. ÂI think itÂs very important the community is aware of all the community and speci“cally North Port has to offer,ÂŽ said Jonathan Wheatley, recreation supervisor. ÂWe just want everyone to be aware of the organizations and all they offer and pair them with the people.ÂŽ Various screenings and educational information will be provided at the fair regarding health, but also covers topics such as legal and “nancial services. ÂThe Parks and Rec Advisory Board suggested it and it seemed like something we could help them out with,ÂŽ Wheatley said. The free event will be held from 10-1 p.m. on Saturday at the George Mullen Activity Center gymnasium, 1602 Kramer Way. Email: lcoey@sun-herald.com North Port to host first Health and Wellness fair By LAUREN COFFEY STAFF WRITER NORTH PORT „ It may soon be a more beautiful day in some North Port neighborhoods. North Port city planners are hosting a public input meeting to discuss five of the cityÂs original neighborhoods from the 1950s and 1960s. ÂThe scope of the meeting and task is to talk to the neighborhood residents and create a plan,ÂŽ City Planner Michele Norton said. ÂWe chose these neighborhoods because they have some of the oldest structures.ÂŽ The neighborhoods include Biscayne Gardens, Hyde Park, Spearman, Highland Ridge and Fabien. Roughly 1,800 residents live in the area. The meeting aims to identify strengths and weaknesses of the neighborhoods and Norton said no one is more qualified than the residents themselves. ÂItÂs their neighborhood, no one knows them like they do,ÂŽ she said. ÂPlanners canÂt sit and look at aerials and demographics and find what makes it tick. (Residents) need to tell us what we can do for its long-term quality.ÂŽ The meeting is also open to the public. Norton added depending on the resources available and need, this could soon extend to other neighborhoods as well. ÂDepending on the input and funding, weÂll reach out to other developments,ÂŽ she said. ÂWeÂre a city of neighborhoods, so for me thatÂs an important way to look at things, and not just from an overall city perspective.ÂŽ The meeting will be from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, March 30, at the Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club, 6851 S.

Using a stolen Medicare bene“ciary number, the equipment is never delivered. The bene“ciary may not even be aware of the scam. ThatÂs why itÂs important to keep records of your health care visits, services and equipment provided, and lab tests. The “rst line of defense against Medicare fraud is reviewing all Medicare Summary Notices. Because the MSN isnÂt a bill, many donÂt pay much attention to it. Look for three things: Charges for something you didn't get, billing for the same thing twice or services that were not ordered by your doctor. Instead of waiting 90 days between quarterly statements, go to www. MyMedicare.gov and track your claims. If you suspect you might be a victim of Medicare fraud, thereÂs help available. The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program, operating under the U.S. Administration on Aging, works to resolve bene“ciary complaints of potential fraud. SMP program manager Sonja Landry explains it can immediately ”ag a possible ÂcompromisedÂŽ account while it investigates and corrects any errors. Florida residents can call 877-272-8720. Nationally, call 877808-2468. In addition, the SMP website, www. smpresource.org, offers help on how to read a MSN, and describes the various Medicare fraud schemes out there. Call and request a free health record journal! Finally, itÂs illegal for a medical supplier to make unsolicited telephone calls to those with Medicare. To report attempted Medicare fraud or abuse, call the Medicare fraud tip line at 800-HHS-TIPS (800447-8477) and press 5, or email the incident to HHSTips@oig.hhs.gov.

And itÂs just because big drug companies fear for their pro“ts. The pharmaceutical industry is desperately trying to stop shipments of the remarkable new ÂJackedUpÂŽ pill. Big Pharma is worried because men are reporting increased sex drive, stronger erections and more stamina all without the side-effects and $40-per-pill price tag associated with drugs like Viagra. Clinical results show men feel these bene“ts within just a few weeks of taking JackedUpÂs active ingredient. The pill, made for men over 50, was released early last month. Despite Big PharmaÂs efforts, sales have already exceeded expecta tions.Exciting Bene“tsThere are very good reasons why sales are booming and drug companies want it gone. Apart from costing just two dollars per daily dose, the clinical results con“rm JackedUpÂs active ingredient is very impressive. It greatly boosts a manÂs ability to get and keep erections. Stamina during sex also improves. The product also has a unique ability to help men feel more passion, desire, and sex drive. These impressive bene“ts come from boosting testosterone levels by up to a whopping 193%. Doctors are astounded by its effects. Why do drug companies want this pill stopped? Since the ÂJackedUpÂŽ pill is natural, drug companies canÂt patent it (like they did with Viagra) and make big pro“ts. Plus, if youÂre over 50 and suffering from low sex drive, decreased stamina and inability to perform, low testosterone is the biggest factor. If you can safely boost your testosterone, you wonÂt need their expensive pills. ThatÂs the very reason big business is trying to have it pulled from the shelves.Strong Clinical Results Worry Big PharmaRecent clinical trials on JackedUpÂs active ingredient have made the drug companies more desperate. The trial results were published in major medical journals, and doctors are now recommending JackedUp to patients. The testing was done on men 40 Â… 65 years old, and the results were remarkable. The men who took the active ingredient in JackedUp reported major improvements in their sex lives. Their ability to get and keep erections went up by over 200%. Libido and sex drive surged. Even staying power and stamina during sex more than doubled! Head of product development, Dave McNeill, said the big drug companies werenÂt worried at “rst. ÂThey didnÂt care because the active ingredient can take a few weeks before many men really feel the bene“ts. But these awesome clinical trials really got their attention. TheyÂre learning A LOT of men will wait a few weeks if it means avoiding negative side effects and saving money.ÂŽHow It WorksThe ÂJackedUpÂŽ pill works by helping older men produce more testosterone. It doesnÂt force dangerous fake testosterone into your body like injections do. Instead, it works with your body to produce testosterone naturally. And the results have been extraordinary. ItÂs like your body reboots itself to feel like it did in the prime of your life.Initial Users Are ThrilledƒAnd WorriedÂJackedUp has been awesome for my sex drive and performance! IÂm worried it may not be av ailable in the future. The idea that it may be taken away just to secure some big drug companyÂs pro“ts is very frustrating.ÂŽ Rob H., 49 years old, Colorado Springs, CO ÂMy wife and I were both sexually vibrant until I had prostate cancer. After my surgery we tried everything my doctor recommended but nothing worked. Within a few weeks of taking JackedUp, everythin g has been functioning beautifully and weÂve been riding high ever since!ÂŽ Ken S., 78 years old, Phoenix, AZDoctors Speak OutDrug companies are also concerned that doctors are now recommending JackedUp. The active ingredient has strong clinical results and lacks the side effects seen in current drugs on the market. This makes it an easy option for doctors to suggest. Dr. Laguna-Bedia, a specialist in internal medicine says, ÂA lot of men think their lack of interest and inability to perform are simply parts of aging. This is just not true. JackedUp can help these men regain a healthy appetite for sex and the physical ability to perform.ÂŽ ÂJackedUp works by boosting key male hormones without side effects. The bene“ts of these hormones to sexual health are well known, but they actually do more than that. Men also report more energy, less body fat and higher motivation,ÂŽ said Dr. G. Pereira, a renowned surgeon in Fl orida. Dr. Jacob Moss notes, ÂI recommend JackedUp if youÂre struggling with getting and keeping erections or low libido. ItÂs also a great option for men who want to last longer and have more c ontrol over when they orgasm.ÂŽHow T o Get JackedUpDrug companies are “ghting hard to get rid of this product. This is making inventory disappear fast. Thankfully, a special discounted supply has been reserved for Charlotte Sun Herald readers. But only for those who call within the next 48 hours. This is the best opportunity to try JackedUp risk-free with their 100% results guarantee. A Regional Order Hotline has been set up for local readers to call. This gives all men an equal chance to try JackedUp. Starting at 6:00 am today the order hotline will be open for the next 48 hours. All you have to do is call TOLL FREE 1-800-886-7162 an d the company will do the rest. Due to the possibility of JackedUp being pulled from the shelf, phone lines are often busy. If you call and do not immediately get through, please be patient and call back. Current supplies of JackedUp are limited, and callers that donÂt get through to the order ho tline within the next 48 hours will be forced to wait for more inventory to be produced. This can take as long as 6 weeks. ÂIf youÂre over 50 and suffering from low sex drive, decreased stamina and inability to perform, low testosterone is the biggest factor. Drug companies do NOT want men to know about this affordable new pillƒŽClinical Study Con“rms Drug Companies Biggest Fear; New $2 Sex Pill Really Works Men rush to get affordable new sex pill as big Pharma tries to stop shipments nationwide; clinical study shows it boosts sexual desire and performance without side effects Big Pharma Worried: Older men are having better sex after taking the newly released $2 pill called JackedUp.

Our Town Page 12 E/N/C www.yoursun.com The Sun / Friday, March 24, 2017 LOCAL SPORTS NORTH PORT Â… It took a while, but the North Port High School baseball team put it together and took a 6-1 victory over visiting Port Charlotte in a non-district game on Wednesday. The Pirates took a 1-0 lead in the top of the “rst inning and held that lead up until the bottom of the fourth inning. The Bobcats (7-5) scored three times, all of them coming on a three-run double down the left-“eld line by Logan Poiston. Dominic LeFever led off the inning with a walk, followed by a single by Patrick Smith and another walk to Tyler OÂBoyle. Kody Brittain popped out but then Poiston followed with his big hit. The Bobcats put the game away with three more runs in the bottom of the “fth inning. An error, a walk, a sacri“ce bunt and two singles accounted for the runs. Meanwhile, Bobcats starting pitcher Charlie Davidson was setting the Pirates down after the “rst inning. He went the distance, allowing “ve hits, but only one came after the “rst inning. He struck out four batters and walked three. ÂCharlie had a great game,ÂŽ North Port coach Dan Pavlue said. ÂHe was pounding the strike zone and had control of his pitches.ÂŽ The Pirates got their only run in the “rst inning when Roman Reynolds belted a single to score Jordan Pelcolle. The Pirates had a chance to score another runner the inning but he was thrown out at the plate. The Pirates (6-7) used three pitchers in the game. Matt Defoe started and went three-plus innings. Damian Ashley went two innings and Jason James “nished up. Defoe took the loss. North Port “nished with eight hits to “ve for the Pirates. Poiston and Smith both had two hits to lead the winners attack. ÂWe did well at “rst,ÂŽ Port Charlotte coach Rodney Taylor said. ÂThey (North Port) found a way to get their offense going in the fourth and “fth innings. WeÂve done well so far this season. ItÂs a long season and we have a way to go.ÂŽ North Port lost pitcher Charlie Topp possibly for the season due to an off-“eld probable broken collarbone recently. North Port will play visiting Dublin Coffman from Ohio at 7 p.m. Monday. The Pirates will play at North Fort Myers in a 7 p.m. game Tuesday.NORTH PORT 6, PORT CHARLOTTE 1Port Charlotte 100 000 0 Â… 1 5 3 North Port 000 330 x6 8 1 WP: Charlie Davidson. LP: Matt Defoe.

SUN PHOTO BY MICHELE HASKELLPort CharlotteÂs Devin Leacock steadies as he prepares to clean and jerk 390 pounds during WednesdayÂs Region 2A-7 meet at Charlotte High School. PORT CHARLOTTE „ The sixth inning was an ugly one Wednesday night between North Port and Port Charlotte. It was especially ugly for Port Charlotte. The frame saw North Port send 15 batters to the plate, 11 runs come across, parents from the opposing teams chirping at one another and even North Port coach Dennis Bell getting tossed from the game. But when it was all said and done, North Port earned its “rst 10-win season under BellÂs tenure, defeating Port Charlotte 18-4 in a six-inning game shortened by the mercy rule. Bell was ejected by the home plate umpire after Ashley Nelson was hit in the head by a pitch from Port CharlotteÂs Seaaira Yiengst. It was right after Yiengst had come into the game to replace Alexis Carpenter after Yiengst had been pulled earlier in the night, and Bell angrily thought Yiengst was throwing at his own pitcher, Nelson. But the umpire wasnÂt having any of it. He quickly tossed Bell with North Port comfortably ahead, 8-2. ÂHe wasnÂt going to take my answer. I think he was oblivious to the whole situation and I donÂt think he understood what I was talking about but I knew what I was talking about. I think everybody on this “eld knew what I was talking about,ÂŽ Bell said. ÂItÂs sad that it goes that route but itÂs this game. It is what it is. ÂBut we were competitive. IÂm glad the girls responded. That made me feel good as a coach that they responded in the manner that they did. It was a good win.ÂŽ The Bobcats responded by scoring 10 more runs in the inning to put the nail in the cof“n. Eight of 11 runs for North Port in the sixth were unearned and 11 of its 18 total for the game were unearned thanks to eight Port Charlotte errors. The Pirates actually led the game at one point, taking a 2-0 lead after an inning thanks to a 2-RBI single by Andi Suarez, who went 1 for 3. But they wouldnÂt score again until putting one run on an error and another on an RBI single by Ali Eugenius in the sixth. Nelson pitched the entire game for the Bobcats, giving up four runs (two earned) on six hits while striking out “ve, walking four and hitting two batters. ÂNot that we ever want to lose a game, but as far as our bats go, we were hitting the ball a lot better tonight than we did last night (against Cape Coral),ÂŽ Port Charlotte coach Ryann Baker said. ÂErrors yet again, thatÂs been the story of our life this year, theyÂre just killing us. ItÂs not really the hard-hit balls either. ItÂs the soft stuff weÂre not playing. WeÂre not “elding it clean. Once we misplay it, we donÂt know what to do with it afterwards.ÂŽ The top four hitters in North PortÂs line did most of the damage against Yiengst and Carpenter. Brianna Mitchell led the way, scoring twice and going 2 for 5 with “ve RBI, all of which came in the sixth inning. She had a 2-run single and a bases-clearing double for North PortÂs “nal runs of the night. Lead-off hitter Kylie Murray went 2 for 5 with an RBI triple and four runs scored. Nelson went 2 for 3 with 2 RBI and three runs scored in the two-hole. Taylor Koohns went 2 for 4 with an RBI triple and a run scored in the cleanup spot. But Bell was pleased with his entire lineup. ÂOur lead-off hitter Kylie is doing great. SheÂs been doing great all year but the bottom of the order though, 5-6-7-8, those girls are coming up big,ÂŽ Bell said. ÂI know my 3-4-5 hole hitters will get their stroke down but coming into this season I knew 1-9 we werenÂt going to have a weak batter. (Opponents) were going to have to pitch to all nine of my batters. ThereÂs no easy outs. IÂm very pleased.ÂŽ Yiengst took the loss for Port Charlotte, giving up 15 runs (only four earned) on nine hits with two strikeouts, “ve walks and two hit batters in 4 2‡3 innings.Contact Jordan Kroeger at 941-206-1175 or email jkroeger@sun-herald.com.NORTH PORT 18, PORT CHARLOTTE 4North Port 004 3011 x Â… 18 11 2 Port Charlotte 200 002 x Â… 4 6 8 WP: Ashley Nelson.

The junior clean and jerked 390 pounds, which added to the 430 pounds he lifted in the bench, giving him 820 pounds to tie a state record in his weight class and give himself the regional championship in the heavyweight class at the Region 2A-7 weightlifting championship at Charlotte High School on Wednesday. Leacock was one of three regional winners for a small Port Charlotte squad, on a day where all the area school represented well. Charlotte was the regional team champ with two regional winners, while North Port will also send at least one lifter to states with a regional win. All eight regional winners automatically qualify for states. The remaining 12 at-large berths will go to those who had the highest scores, which wonÂt be determined until next week. Charlotte, with 43 points, bested runner-up Sarasota (31). Port Charlotte and Manatee “nished tied for third at 25 points. LeacockÂs “rst clean and jerk lift of 350 pounds won him the regional championship. The only drama left would be if he could tie the record, and when he failed on his second lift at 375, the pressure mounted even more. About the only one who wasnÂt concerned was Leacock. ÂI wanted to hit my numbers and get the 820, which I got,ÂŽ Leacock said. ÂI knew I could do 390 because I did 380 at districts two weeks ago. It was just bad form that cost me.ÂŽ LeacockÂs successful “nal lift tied him with Cody Hughes, who lifted 820 for Lakewood Ranch in 2005. The state record is held by Lamar Lyles, who lifted 830 for Lake Region in 2004 in the 219-pound weight class. LeacockÂs performance overshadowed great performances from Sabian Levasseur, who won at 199, and Jeanty Luidson, who was regional champ at 239. Jaden Hunter was third at 169, putting him on the bubble. Considering there are just eight men on the team, thatÂs a pretty good percentage. ÂWeÂve sacri“ced so much to get here. We all came to school at 5:30 every morning to work out and get where we are now,ÂŽ Levasseur said. ÂAs a small team we have to put up big numbers to get our names out there. At the end of the day, we do it.ÂŽ CharlotteÂs Kaden Howell (119) and Shekina Ayemperoumal (183) were regional winners. Devin Markstahler was second in 219, while Gage Strelau was third at 139. ÂI came out and did what I came to do. I knew if I hit my openers I would win. I wish I had done better on bench, but itÂs all right,ÂŽ said Howell, who cruised in his weight class. A tan, rested and ready Alex Jen was the regional champ at 129 for North Port, which “nished “fth as a team. Joseph McDonald was second at 183, while Gregg Pardue was third at 154. Both will have to wait to see if their numbers add up to a state bid. ÂI had a huge lead on my opponents, so I thought I could win. I took a week off to snowboard in Colorado, but I managed to PR on the bench and clean and jerk. The rest helped me out.ÂŽRegion 2A-7 meetAt Charlotte High Teams Charlotte 43, Sarasota 31, Port Charlotte 25, Manatee 25, North Port 18, Sebring 15, Cape Coral 15, Riverview 13, Palmetto 12, Lakewood Ranch 9.

The Sun /Friday, March 24, 2017 www.yoursun.com E/N/C Our Town Page 13 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWSWhen Taylor Petrizzo was a high school student in New York in 2014, a close friend and a relative died within six months of each other. PetrizzoÂs cousin died from anaphylactic shock. Cancer took her friendÂs life. Petrizzo took home a cat two months after her cousin died. The cat, whose name is Junior, turned out to be just what Petrizzo needed. ÂHe would come up and just kiss my face,ÂŽ said Petrizzo, 18, a Florida SouthWestern State College freshman. ÂHe would come up and comb my hair with his hand or his tongue. He would lick the tears off my face or sit on my shoulder. It just made me not want to cry anymore.ÂŽ Junior is PetrizzoÂs emotional support animal. He lives in a dormitory with Petrizzo and her roommates on FSWÂs Fort Myers campus. Colleges and universities nationwide started allowing students to have emotional support animals in their dorm rooms in recent years as a result of a ruling in a lawsuit. Junior is the only emotional support animal living in FSWÂs Lighthouse Commons. Another student is trying to get the OK to have a rabbit as an emotional support animal. At Florida Gulf Coast University, 73 emotional support animals live in its three student housing facilities. Of the animals, 41 are cats, 31 are dogs, and one is a guinea pig. ÂIÂm coming back to the chillest cat in the world, just laying down, just reminding me ... take it easy, you know,ÂŽ Petrizzo said. Petrizzo said Junior helps her deal with anxiety, including when she ”ies, and depression. ÂWhen I lost my cousin, I was with her the day she passed away,ÂŽ she said. ÂI had really just clicked the switch off and said, ÂI canÂt really deal with this now.ÂÂŽWhat are emotional support animals?Emotional support animals are not considered pets. They provide comfort for people suffering from mental and emotional conditions. Students typically have to provide schools with a letter from a psychologist, psychiatrist or licensed counselor that explains their disability and their need for the animal. The animals donÂt qualify as service animals. Federal guidelines de“ne a service animal as a dog or miniature horse trained to do work or tasks for a person with a disability. Junior was the runt in a box of kittens when Petrizzo “rst laid eyes on him. He will turn 2 years old in April and has ballooned to 18 pounds. Petrizzo said she had Junior certi“ed as an emotional support animal after learning about the difference between emotional support and service animals in a veterinarian technician course when she was in high school in New York. Petrizzo said deadlines and fears that consume her when she ”ies are anxiety triggers for her. Junior travels with Petrizzo. ÂHe helps me catch my breath instead of drowning almost in anxiety,ÂŽ she said. Petrizzo said Junior has been a help to more than just her. ÂItÂs helped me and my roommates deal with a few of our girl issues, whether crying over a guy or whatever,ÂŽ she said.Legal fightStudents have had to “ght for their right to have emotional support animals in dorm rooms. Schools nationwide began to reconsider allowing emotional support pets in dorms after a 2013 ruling in a federal lawsuit against the University of Nebraska at Kearney. The U.S. Department of Justice sued the university after it denied a studentÂs request to allow a miniature pinscher to live with her in a dorm room and help with her anxiety attacks. The Fair Housing Act requires that reasonable accommodations be made for people with disabilities to have emotional support animals. A judge in the Kearney case ruled the act applies to the universityÂs student housing facilities. ÂThatÂs what really had universities reacting swiftly and quickly to begin to implement some form of approval process to allow for not only service animals but emotional support animals too,ÂŽ said Brian Fisher, director of University Housing at FGCU. The Nebraska school settled the federal lawsuit in 2015, agreeing to pay the student and a second student $140,000 and change its policy regarding emotional support animals. At FSW and FGCU, emotional support animals are confined to dorm facilities. The schools talk to students roommates to see if they have any concern with living with an animal. ÂWe are trying to address everyoneÂs rights, everyoneÂs concerns and build a community spirit,ÂŽ said Angie Hartsell, director of Adaptative Services at FSW. Schools have faced some challenges as they have tried to implement emotional support animal policies. One is that the law is not crystal clear on what animals can be used as emotional support animals, Fisher said. Fisher said FGCUÂs most unusual request for an emotional support animal was for a micro pig. The request was approved, he said. Fisher recently attended a Southeastern Association of Housing Officers regional conference, and one of the topics was emotional support animals. ÂFor a lot of us in our profession, this is a ... new topic, and it continues to evolve and change as the law has changed,ÂŽ Fisher said. ÂAnd our profession is doing our very best to follow that law and make sure we are responsive to what the students are asking us to do on our college campuses.ÂŽMeet Junior, one of 73 emotional support animals in dormsBy THYRIE BLANDNEWS-PRESS NEWS-PRESS PHOTO BY THYRIE BLANDFlorida SouthWestern State College freshman Taylor Petrizzo, 18, pets Junior, her emotional support animal.

By BRYAN LEVINESports WriterPORT CHARLOTTE „ If you didnÂt know who Jake Bauers was prior to spring training, you certainly know his name now. Bauers made a big splash in the Tampa Bay Rays camp this month with his tape-measure home runs, patience at the plate and what some players refer to as big-league hair. ÂItÂs been awesome and good to get my name out there,ÂŽ Bauers said. ÂTrying to get some people excited about what I can potentially bring to the team. Not just to the fans, but to the front office and maybe some coaches around here.ÂŽ The 21-year-old had an 11-game on-base streak within his first 13 games of the spring. That included three home runs of more than 425 feet in one week, plus five consecutive plate appea rances where he drew a walk. Bauers strong spring showed the Rays a glimpse of what their future holds, but it came to an end Thursday morning, as his name was on a list of youngsters reassigned to the minor leagues. ÂWeÂre excited about him,ÂŽ manager Kevin Cash. ÂHe obviously had a good camp. I think just his overall approach to hitting is what stood out more than anythingÂŽ. A Huntington Beach, Calif. native, Bauers was drafted by the San Diego Padres, who play about an hour and a half away from his hometown. Theoretically, being close to home would be a good thing, but for Bauers, he was actually glad to get sent to the Rays. ÂIt wouldÂve been nice to make it up down there, but I think it could have been a distraction at times being so close (to home),ÂŽ Bauers said. ÂIÂm happy being over here on the east coast. San Diego would have been a great opportunity to be near friends and family.ÂŽ Although Bauers time with the big club this spring was limited, it provided him with some valuable learning lessons. Mostly being how to carry yourself as a professional.

Jonathan Drouin had a goal and two assists, Brayden Point had a goal and an assist and Anton Stralman also scored to help the Lightning pull three points behind the Bruins for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference. Peter Budaj finished with 28 saves for the Lightning to earn his 29th win of the season. Ondrej Palat had three assists, and Jake Dotchin and Victor Hedman added two each. Riley Nash had a goal and an assist for Boston, and David Pastrnak and Zdeno Chara also scored. Tuukka Rask stopped 23 shots as Boston, which won seven of the first eight games under interim coach Bruce Cassidy, has now lost four straight and six of 11. After a scoreless first period, both teams alternated scoring three times in the second with the Lightning responding to Boston goals 44 seconds, 24 seconds and 1:35 later, respectively. Nash gave Boston a 3-2 lead with 6:42 left in the middle period, but Stralman roofed a shot over RaskÂs left shoulder to tie it with 5:07 remaining. Drouin put Tampa Bay ahead for good when his slap shot beat Rask at 4:12 of the third. Kucherov followed with two goals, including his second on the power play and an empty-netter with 1:57 remaining to cap the scoring.NHL: LightningKucherov leads Lightning past Bruins Tampa Bay LightningÂs Nikita Kucherov (86), of Russia, celebrates his goal with Victor Hedman (77) during the third period against the Boston Bruins Thursday in Boston.AP PHOTO SEE LIGHTNING, 2By ERIC OLSONAssociated PressKANSAS CITY, Mo. „ Tyler Dorsey scored 20 points and made the go-ahead layup with 1:08 left, and thirdseeded Oregon ended No. 7 MichiganÂs dramatic postseason run with a 69-68 victory in a Midwest Regional semifinal on Thursday night. Dorsey, the man the Ducks call ÂMr. March,ÂŽ had his sixth straight game scoring 20 or more points. The Wolverines (2711) had one more chance to extend their run after Dylan Ennis missed a free throw with 15 seconds left. But Derrick Walton, who had carried the Wolverines the last three weeks, was off with his long jumper just before the buzzer. Jordan Bell had a double-double for the Ducks (32-5), with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Pac-12 player of the year Dillon Brooks added 12 points and Dylan Ennis had 10. Walton led the Wolverines with 20 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Zak Irvin had 14 of his 19 points in the second half and DJ Wilson had 12 points. Oregon plays Kansas or Purdue on Saturday in the regional final. The Ducks are going to the Elite Eight for the second year in a row, and they made it without big man Chris Boucher, who went out in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals with a season-ending knee injury. Oregon still had plenty of inside game without Boucher, outscoring the Wolverines 34-16 in the pain and outrebounding them 36-31.COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Sweet 16Ducks end MichiganÂs run with 69-68 winAP PHOTOMichigan guard Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman (12) passes the ball between OregonÂs Dylan Ennis (31), Payton Pritchard and Jordan Bell, right, during the second half Thursday, in Kansas City, Mo.

On a night that featured 51 fouls and only 34 made baskets, Mathews delivered the big shot that sent the Bulldogs (35-1) to their third Elite Eight in school history. It didnÂt come easily. West Virginia (29-8) had three shots to tie the game but Tarik Phillip missed a shot from the lane and Jevon Carter missed two 3-pointers after Silas Melson made one foul shot. The Mountaineers rebound both misses but couldnÂt get another shot off before the buzzer. Despite shooting 26.7 percent for the game, West Virginia stayed close and took a 58-55 lead on a 3-pointer by Carter with 1:47 to play. Nigel Williams-Goss answered with two free throws. After Daxter Miles Jr. missed two fouls shots and Nathan Adrian was blocked by Josh Perkins on the putback, Williams-Goss found Mathews in the corner for the open 3-pointer that proved the game-winner. Mathews, Przemek Karnowski and Johnathan Williams all had 13 points to lead the Bulldogs. Carter led the Mountaineers with 21 points. The game was tied at 30 after a first half that was far from an aesthetic masterpiece with 27 fouls and just 16 baskets.

In what promises to be a busy annual meeting next week in Phoenix that will include discussing the Raiders potential relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas, the 32 owners also will vote on changing the mechanics on replay reviews and other items intended to reduce downtime during games. The Eagles proposed four rules changes, including abolishing the leaping techniques that league football operations director Troy Vincent said Thursday ÂdonÂt belong in the game.ÂŽ Seattle and Buffalo co-authored a proposal allowing a coach to challenge any officiating decision, whether a foul is called or not. ÂThat is a significant change to our current replay rule and it is something that will be on the floor and will be debated next week,ÂŽ NFL officiating chief Dean Blandino said. Another major change would be the reduction of overtime in-season; the extra period in the playoffs would remain at 15 minutes. The powerful competition committee, of which Vincent and Blandino are members, believed itÂs a player safety issue, noting that number of snaps for games going to OT „ especially deep into the overtime „ is excessive. Especially if a team has a quick turnaround. ÂWe donÂt know where a team is going to be playing the next week, it could be four days later,ÂŽ said committee chairman Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons. ÂWe felt we should put an end to it. We donÂt think it will lead to more ties. Could it? It could, but we are not concerned with that.ÂŽ As for changing the format of overtime to ensure both teams always get a possession „ a popular topic after how the Super Bowl ended „ Blandino said the leagueÂs wants to keep the element of sudden death in the extra period.NFL: Proposed changesOwners mull cut of regular-season OT timeKucherov now has 16 goals and 11 assists in the last 15 games, most in the NHL since Feb. 21.

The Raptors trailed by 15 points early and eventually led by as many as 17 „ a 32-point turnaround. No one in the NBA has been better at pulling off big comebacks than the Raptors, who have come from behind six times since the All-Star break alone. ÂIt talks about toughness, heart,ÂŽ Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. ÂOur give-a-crap level is pretty high, and itÂs one of those things where when you count us out, we find a way. My thing is just find five men who are going to play hard.ÂŽ Neither team moved in the Eastern Conference playoff standings. Toronto (43-29) remained in the No. 4 spot, pulling within a half-game of No. 3 Washington.

LIGHTNINGFrom Page 1 Associated PressSUNRISE „ Jonathan Marchessault scored two goals and James Reimer made 38 saves to lift the Florida Panthers over the Arizona Coyotes 3-1 on Thursday night. Shawn Thornton also scored a goal as the Panthers snapped a two-game losing streak. The Panthers are seven points behind the Boston Bruins for the final wildcard spot in the Eastern ConferenceÂs Atlantic Division. Tobias Rieder scored for Arizona, and Mike Smith stopped 21 shots. The Coyotes lost for the fourth time in five games. With the score tied at 1 in the second period, Marchessault scored two goals 26 seconds apart to put the Panthers ahead 3-1. Aleksander Barkov skipped a pass to Marchessault in front and he redirected the puck into the net with 2:22 left in the period. MarchessaultÂs next goal came on a shot from the left circle that went high over SmithÂs shoulder on the stick side with 1:56 left. Marchessault leads the Panthers with 25 goals. Thornton recorded his second goal of the season to tie the game at 1 in bizarre fashion. Smith was caught out of position to the side of the net and as he tried to get back in the crease, he pulled on the right side of the net with his blocker hand just as ArizonaÂs Jordan Martinook hit the left side of the net with his stick. As the net was falling, ThorntonÂs first shot bounced off SmithÂs back in the crease but Thornton slid the rebound across the goal line and through the crease as the net was coming down on top of Smith but still on its moorings. After a review, the goal was awarded to the Panthers with 12:22 left in the second. Arizona took a 1-0 lead on RiederÂs goal 3:20 in.

The Sun / Friday, March 24, 2017 www.yoursun.com SP Page 3COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Sweet 16 PreviewBy JIM OÂCONNELLAssociated PressNEW YORK „ The folks at Madison Square Garden were drooling at the thought of a Duke-Villanova regional final. Two schools that consider the Garden a home away from home in a No. 1 seed vs. No. 2 seed dream matchup that would make MSG the place to be this weekend. Instead, there are four football schools fighting for a berth in basketballÂs Final Four. On Friday night, eighth-seeded Wisconsin plays fourth-seeded Florida, while thirdseeded Baylor meets seventh-seeded South Carolina. No team left in the NCAA Tournament is as used to being in the Sweet 16 as Wisconsin. The Badgers are in their fourth straight regional semifinal, a feat no other team can claim. They have also been in the round 16 six of the last seven years. Florida is making its fifth straight Sweet 16 appearance, but itÂs over a seven-year span. Baylor is making its fourth regional semifinal appearance since 2010. South Carolina? The Gamecocks won an NCAA Tournament game for the first time since 1973. Last year, South Carolina was mistakenly told on Selection Sunday that it was in the field. ÂPrivately, in my own home with my wife, when I spoke to my mom, when I spoke to guys that raised me, I let them know, ÂThis ainÂt right, these kids deserve to be there,ÂŽÂ South Carolina coach Frank Martin said Thursday. ÂBut being around guys like (Sindarius) Thornwell allowed me to understand, I got a responsibility here to get them in for the next opportunity. ItÂs here and itÂs been an unbelievable ride. IÂm happy theyÂre experiencing it right now.ÂŽ The Gamecocks came into the NCAA Tournament having lost two straight and five of seven. Now theyÂre on a roll that includes wins over Marquette and Duke. ÂIt means a lot. For us, for our first time and our last time playing at the university means a lot, because when we came in our ultimate goal was to make it to the tournament,ÂŽ said Thornwell, the Southeastern Conference player of the year. ÂWe didnÂt get that chance our first three years and for us to get this opportunity this year heading out is a blessing for us, and itÂs good for the basketball program, and also for us to still be playing and make it to the tournament. Making a run is huge for everybody.ÂŽ Wisconsin, which many felt was underseeded as a No. 8, comes in having just beaten the overall No. 1 seed, Villanova. ÂThey had a great year. We never talked about in preparation for Villanova about playing the defending national champions,ÂŽ Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said. ÂWe just talked about playing a really good team and that we were going to have to play really well in order to have a chance in that game.ÂŽ And now the Badgers are back in the Sweet 16. ÂYou have to be playing some of your best basketball late,ÂŽ Gard said of the four-year run. ÂI think having upperclassmen, as our program has predominantly been in that position where weÂve relied on upperclassmen leadership. Sometimes you have star power and upperclassmen leadership. Sometimes itÂs just matter of guys whoÂve had experience. You draw on that and you have to play well. You canÂt afford an 8or 10-minute stretch of inconsistent basketball and I think our guys have handled that the right way.ÂŽ Some things to consider about the East Regional: BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: South Carolina played at Madison Square Garden this season and the Gamecocks have to hope the result is different Friday. They lost 67-66 to Seton Hall on Dec. 12. It was South CarolinaÂs first loss of the season and started the Gamecocks on a stretch when they lost three of five. ÂDefinitely I think itÂs good for us that we have played in this arena before,ÂŽ South CarolinaÂs PJ Dozier said. ÂI think that it works in our favor. But first game, second game, third game, I feel like youÂre always going to be kind of nervous playing here, just due to the history of basketball in this arena.ÂŽ JOHN WHO?: Florida lost starting center John Egbunu to a torn ACL on Feb. 14. Egbunu was averaging 7.8 points and 6.6 rebounds and was becoming a real force in the middle for the Gators. Sophomore Kevarrius Hayes was called on to replace Egbunu and since he moved into the starting lineup he has averaged 5.5 points and 5.5 rebounds, establishing himself as one of the SECÂs leading shot blockers. BAYLORÂS BENCH: During the season BaylorÂs bench accounted for 20.2 points per game. That number has shot up to 33.5 points in the two NCAA Tournament games. EXTRA TIME: Wisconsin has won eight straight overtime games and only one of them has been at home.COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Sweet 16 PreviewNot what was expected in East Regional semi“ nalsAP PHOTOFlorida forward Kevarrius Hayes (13), right, and guard Kasey Hill (0) cheer Justin Leon (23), during the second half against Virginia in the NCAA menÂs college basketball tournament Saturday, in Orlando. By CLAY BAILEYAssociated PressMEMPHIS, Tenn. „ Three of college basketballÂs blue bloods, along with a blue bulldog from Indiana that has had lots of success of its own, have gathered in Memphis for a marquee showdown in the Sweet 16. North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA are joined by upstart Butler in the South Regional „ the only region where the top four seeds all advanced after the opening weekend. Top-seeded North Carolina plays Butler Friday night, followed by No. 2 seed Kentucky and third-seeded UCLA facing off in the second game. ÂThe glamour names areÂŽ here, North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. At stake is a spot in the Elite Eight and chance to earn a berth in the Final Four. These iconic programs have plenty of championship banners hanging from the rafters as they look to add yet another, with Butler hoping to capture its first. UCLA (31-4) has the most national championships with 11 „ 10 from legendary coach John Wooden. Kentucky (31-5) of the Southeastern Conference has eight „ a quartet from Adolph Rupp with one each from Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith and John Calipari. North Carolina (29-7) of the Atlantic Coast Conference is tied for third with five championships and has been to more Final Fours (19) than any other school. And then thereÂs Butler (25-8) of the Big East. The Bulldogs may lack titles, but they have become the tournament darlings in recent seasons reaching the national championship game in 2010 and 2011. ÂI happen to think right now, Butler is better than any of them, and thatÂs the team weÂre getting ready to play,ÂŽ Williams said. The Bulldogs battle against the trio of historic programs is only one of the subplots of this region. There are well-established coaches, like Calipari and Williams. Then there is Steve Alford, who hopes coach UCLA to its 12th title, but won a national crown playing at Indiana. There is Chris Holtmann, 45, in only his third year as a head coach at Butler. ÂBetween (Williams) and I, we have eight Final Fours, two national championships, about 15 Sweet Sixteens and a ton of conference championships and over 900 wins,ÂŽ Holtmann quipped. ÂSo, somebody is going to be really calm come opening tip, and somebody is going to be really nervous. IÂll let you figure that out.ÂŽ Here are some other things to watch in the South: CHALK BRACKET: ÂObviously thereÂs opinions and arguments, but we feel like this is obviously the toughest region,ÂŽ Alford said. ÂAnd youÂre probably going to have to play to play very good basketball because all four of these teams are capable of advancing to the Final Four.ÂŽ PRESIDENTIAL TIES: Vice President Mike Pence might in attendance for the first semifinal to watch Butler play North Carolina. Pence was governor of Indiana before becoming President Donald TrumpÂs running mate and worked in Indianapolis„ home of the Bulldogs. Oh, and PenceÂs wife, Karen, attended Butler, and the family lived near campus. ÂAnytime you have an elected official come to a game and support your program, youÂre excited about that,ÂŽ Holtmann said. HIGH-OCTANE POTENTIAL: ThereÂs a possibility of some highscoring games Friday night with three of the top 10 teams in points scored part of the South Region. UCLA leads the nation in scoring at 90.2 points a game, while Kentucky is ninth at 85.2, only slightly ahead of North Carolina at 85.1. Butler averages 76.2 points a game 105th in the nation. But North Carolina players know there is a balance. ÂI remember the scouting report, they told us early, they was like: ÂDonÂt think youÂre not going to be guarded,  junior swingman Theo Pinson recalled. ÂEvery time you catch the ball, theyÂre going to be there. ItÂs just how they are.ÂŽ GONE FISHING: Butler guard Avery Woodson transferred for his final season of eligibility after graduating from Memphis. Woodson didnÂt immediately respond when Butler called to recruit him. ÂI was actually fishing with one of my friends from here in Memphis,ÂŽ Woodson said. ÂI looked at the phone, and it had a 317 area code, and it said Indianapolis, Indiana. I thought about it: ÂWell, that could be Butler. But, I was fishing, so obviously, IÂm not going to answer the phone.ÂŽ GOOD MEMORIES: This isnÂt North CarolinaÂs first time in Memphis for a regional semifinal as the No. 1 seed. In 2009, the Tar Heels beat Gonzaga and Oklahoma on the way to their last national championship. ÂMemphis is one of my favorite places,ÂŽ Williams said with a big grin.Crme de la crme: Hoop royalty meet in Memphis AP PHOTOKentuckyÂs Bam Adebayo dunks the ball during the second half of a second-round game against Wichita State in the menÂs NCAA college basketball tournament Sunday in Indianapolis. The Bulldogs created some space early in the second when Mathews hit 3s on consecutive trips and added a free throw for a four-point play on the second to make it 41-34. But the Mountaineers fought back and the game stayed tight until the end.BIG PICTUREWest Virginia: The Mountaineers could get nothing going offensively most of the night but a pair of 3-pointers by Carter in the second half helped them fight back from an eight-point deficit to briefly take the lead in the second half. The rest of the team made just 10 baskets all game. Gonzaga: The Bulldogs struggled to get into their offense all game. When they managed to beat the Mountaineers relentless press, they couldnÂt capitalize in the halfcourt. WCC Player of the Year Williams-Goss was held to 10 points on 2-for-10 shooting with five turnovers and was sent to the bench for a stretch with four fouls after committing two pushoffs on the offensive end.UP NEXTGonzaga plays the winner of the game between second-seeded Arizona and No. 11 seed Xavier for a spot in the Final Four. Its biggest play in the post c ame after Walton had made a jumper to give Michigan a 68-65 lead. Ennis got fouled and went to the line for a one-andone. He missed, and Bell swooped in for the offensive rebound and put it in to make it a one-point game. After Walton missed a layup, Dorsey gave the Ducks the lead. Ennis missed another free throw with 15 seconds left, giving Michigan one more chance. Oregon had fouls to give but failed to get a hand on anyone, allowing Walton to put up one more shot. The teams struggled to find their offensive rhythm early, and Michigan had uncharacteristic problems with turnovers against a Ducks defense that switched between man-to-man and matchup zone.BIG PICTUREMichigan: The Wolverines got on a roll late in the season, and they became a tournament favorite after their plane skidded off the run way as they attempted to take off for the Big Ten Tournament. They ended up winning four games in four days to claim the conference tournament title and two more in the NCAA Tournament. But they shot just 39.3 percent against the Ducks, and fatigue might have been a factor. Oregon: The Ducks set the school record with their 32nd win and are off to the Elite Eight for the second straight year thanks to a big-time performance from Dorsey.UP NEXTMichiganÂs season is over.

The panel got the case after SpanierÂs attorneys declined to call any witnesses to counter accusations he acted illegally in handling a 2001 complaint about Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, showering with a boy. Deliberations were scheduled to resume today. In a closing argument, Spanier attorney Sam Silver said there was Âno evidenceÂŽ and the case involved judgment calls by high-ranking university administrators in dealing with the complaint Sandusky had been seen naked with the boy in a team locker room. ÂThey made judgment calls,ÂŽ Silver said.„ The Associated Press By Larry LageAssociated PressThe NHL may be nearing a deadline to decide whether to allow the worldÂs best hockey players to participate in the Winter Olympics next year in South Korea. ÂI hope we can find a compromise in the next two or three weeks,ÂŽ International Ice Hockey Federation President Rene Fasel told The Associated Press on Thursday in a telephone interview from Russia. ÂWe need to know by the end of April if theyÂre coming, or not.ÂŽ Fasel said leaders of national teams, including those in Canada and Russia, have recently told him they need to know next month if it is time for them to assemble their Plan B rosters. The IIHF is the gameÂs international governing body and runs hockey tournaments, including those at the Olympics. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has made it clear league owners donÂt want to stop their season for three weeks again and put their stars at risk of injury without what they consider a tangible return. The reluctance has come up in the past and yet the NHL has participated in every Winter Olympics since 1998. Four years ago, the discussions werenÂt settled until midsummer 2013 ahead of the Sochi Games. This time, however, there seems to be an impasse. After the International Olympic Committee indicated it did not want to cover costs for travel and insurance expenses to get NHL players to South Korea as it did in the past, including about $14 million for the 2014 Olympics, the IIHF came up with the $10 million necessary to do it. That, however, does not appear to be enough to appease the NHL. The league seems to want more, including the rights to put Olympic highlights on its TV network, website and social media platforms. ÂIn the absence of any material change to the current status quo, NHL players will not be participating in the 2018 Winter Olympics,ÂŽ NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an email to AP. Don Fehr, the head of the NHL Players Association, said all players in the league want to participate. He believes the NHL should choose to take advantage of the chance to market the game in Asia, which will host the next two Winter Olympics. ÂPlaying in an Olympic games is fundamentally different than playing in other tournaments, other hockey events, because itÂs an opportunity to play for your country on a global stage with fans watching who never otherwise watch hockey games,ÂŽ Fehr said. HOCKEYNHL asked for decision on Olympics by end of AprilNCAA TOURNAMENT South RegionalBy Teresa M. WalkerAssociated PressMEMPHIS, Tenn. „ John Calipari knows people in Memphis are still pretty upset with how he abandoned their Tigers to take the Kentucky coaching job and that nothing will ever soothe the hurt feelings. In case they still donÂt understand why he left back in 2009, Calipari made it as clear as possible Thursday. ÂI had been talked to probably by six other universities during my time here, and three had offered jobs, and a couple I considered,ÂŽ Calipari said. ÂBut Kentucky is one that you leave for. It just is.ÂŽ Now, with an assist from the NCAA Tournament selection committee, Calipari will coach his first game in Memphis since leaving eight years ago. ItÂs a town where some fans still hate him for departing, a move all the more painful because the coachÂs best season at the school was wiped off the books just months later. This isnÂt CalipariÂs first trip back to Memphis since being hired by Kentucky in April 2009. The coach still visits friends here and recruits Memphis talent-rich high school talent. But Calipari hasnÂt coached at the FedExForum since March 2009 when he won his last Conference USA tournament title. That drought will end Friday night when his Wildcats play UCLA in the South Regional semifinal. ÂI think we did all right here,ÂŽ Calipari said. ÂHad some good times.ÂŽ ThatÂs putting it mildly. Before Calipari stunned Memphis by choosing the winningest program in all of college basketball, he oversaw the best fouryear stretch in Tigers history. He went 137-14 at Memphis, the kind of success fans dreamed of when Calipari was hired. Calipari was seen as such a savior that fans came out to his introductory news conference, which also was shown live on local television. The coach delivered, dominating Conference USA with players from DaJuan Wagner to Derrick Rose. CalipariÂs best came in 2007-08 with an NCAA-record 38 victories and an overtime loss to Kansas in the national championship game „ a season that no longer counts for either Memphis or Calipari. He coached the Tigers to a loss in the Sweet 16 in March 2009 when Kentucky fired Billy Gillispie and came offering the Southeastern ConferenceÂs power program to Calipari. Calipari not only took the job at Kentucky, he took most of his coaching staff too while convincing John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe to join him with the Wildcats. By August 2009, the NCAA stripped away every victory from that record season for Memphis using an ineligible player believed to be Rose. Calipari said he hadnÂt thought of not having a banner in the rafters for that amazing 38-2 season, which he since has matched twice at Kentucky: 2012 and 2015. ÂI would say that thereÂs nothing that can take away what that run was about for all of us, including the city,ÂŽ Calipari said. ÂIt was a special time.ÂŽ A couple hundred friends joined Calipari at a reception Wednesday night after he arrived in Memphis with the coach hearing from former players like Chris Douglas-Roberts, Robert Dozier and Antonio Anderson. But the University of Memphis President quickly canceled a dinner announced in September 2015 to honor Calipari for his induction into the Naismith Hall of Fame that would have benefited the Tigers. Fans made it very clear they werenÂt ready to make nice with Calipari just yet. When he walked onto the court Thursday for the final open practice, Calipari was met with a heavy dose of boos that not even the Kentucky faithful could drown out. He went straight to work, leaving people like Jack Vernon and his friend, Zach Kieffner, happy to finally let Calipari know how they feel. Vernon, now 18, of Southaven, Mississippi, became a basketball fan in 2007-08 when his sister attended Memphis. ÂJust the way he left and everything,ÂŽ Vernon said. ÂWe had Boogie Cousins lined up, John Wall and all of a sudden our whole class just dispersed ... he just kind of left us in a bad place. And you see Memphis hasnÂt quite recovered from that.ÂŽ Calipari, who signed a two-year extension Wednesday knew heÂd face questions about Memphis. He also predicts people will watch Friday night because of the talented teams on the court, not because heÂs on the sideline Âand it should be a lot of fun.ÂŽ If youÂre not a Memphis Tigers fan.Memphis not-so-favorite son Calipari returns for Sweet 16Thompson III ÂI had been talked to probably by six other universities during my time here, and three had offered jobs, and a couple I considered.

Page 6 SP www.yoursun.com Friday, March 24, 2017 / The SunBy BRYAN LEVINESports WriterPORT CHARLOTTE „ Another round of cuts hit the Rays camp Thursday morning with no surprises of those headed back down to minor league camp. Jake Bauers and Casey Gillaspie were the most notable names of the eight young players sent down. ÂCasey made a big jump,ÂŽ manager Kevin Cash said. ÂWe probably heard more about Casey at the end of the year beca use he got to Triple-A, was challenged in Triple-A and excelled. YouÂre always a little curious if thatÂs going to play out when they come to camp, and I know it did.ÂŽ In addition to those two, Jake Hager, Andrew Kittredge, Neil Wagner, Dayron Varona, Patrick Leonard and Johnny Field were also reassigned to the minors. Some of them made impacts in the game on Thursday. Hager had a crucial diving catch to preserve the lead in the seventh, Leonard had an RBI and Bauers drove in two runs. Two places where surprises came were out-right releases of Jeff Walters and David Carpenter. ÂThose are crummy conversations to have,ÂŽ Cash said of having to release players. ÂWalt and Carp both came in and showed well. It came to a roster crunch. We have a bunch of pitchers slated to head to Triple-A and the last thing you want to do is an injustice to those guys or (Carpenter) and Walt. The spring roster is now trimmed to 41 players, with another 16 names not making the opening day roster.FINALLY ANNOUNCEDAfter much obvious speculation, Cash officially announced Chris Archer as the Opening Day starter for April 2. Following Archer in the rotation, Jake Odorizzi will be the No. 2 starter, with Alex Cobb, Blake Snell and Matt Andriese following behind. When it comes to the lineup, Cash says he wonÂt be spilling the beans on that one until April 1. The Rays Opening Day opponent, the New York Yankees, wasted no time revealing their first starter, as Masahiro Tanaka was announced on the first day of spring training.SHUTTING IT DOWNBrad Boxberger will be taking a break for about a week due to his continued issue with his lat. According to Cash, Boxberger will start all over again as if spring training just began after the week is over. That means we will likely see more of Boxberger in a Charlotte Stone Crabs uniform in a few weeks.OWNER MEETINGRays owner Stu Sternberg met with media prior to ThursdayÂs game. Among other topics, he spoke about the continued work for a new stadium, ticket prices, expectations for 2017 and more. Nothing he talked about is of pressing time, so there will be an extended look at what he said in SundayÂs edition of The Sun.RAYS NOTEBOOKMore cuts for minor leaguersHITTER OF THE GAME Aaron Judge, Yankees: He was one of three Yankees to have a multi-hit game. Nobody on the Rays had more than one base hit. His one-run double helped the Yankees in the sixth inning. PITCHER OF THE GAME Austin Pruitt, Rays: Pruitt tossed four scoreless innings, allowing just three hits in that span. He had a nice outing with “ ve strikeouts and just one walk. KEY INNING Top 9th: The Rays defense fell apart in the ninth, allowing Alex Colome to blow a save. Three errors in the inning gave the Yankees an unearned run to tie the game. PROSPECT WATCH Riley Unroe, Rays: At the time, Unroe made what was a crucial play in the “ eld. On a chopper up the middle, which settled in no-mans land between the pitcherÂs mound and second base, Unroe came from short and made a strong throw to “ rst base to keep the score at 5-4. THEY SAID IT ÂHe was gassed after that outing. Obviously he came as advertised with that big fastball. WeÂll get him back out there two days from now and try to see how he responds coming back. „Rays manager Kevin Cash on the debut of reliever Jumbo DiazTAMPA BAY (11-12-3) at PITTSBURGH (16-8-1)WHEN: Today, 1:05 p.m. WHERE: LECOM Park, Bradenton SCHEDULED STARTERS: RH Diego Moreno vs. RH Trevor Williams PITCHING PROBABLES RAYS: RH Diego Moreno (start), RH Chase Whitley, RH Danny Farquhar, RH Erasmo Ramirez PIRATES: RH Trevor Williams (start), LH Tony Watson, RH Daniel Hudson, LH Filipe Rivero, Juan Nicaso.

ÂEveryone around here has probably some of the best work ethics IÂve ever seen,ÂŽ Bauers said. ÂAnyone up here could be complacent with where theyÂre at, and happy with their situations, but everyone here works their tails off. ThatÂs been eye-opening to me. Just because you get here doesnÂt mean the work stops. It only gets greater.  ItÂs easy to get caught up in the numbers Bauers has put up this spring, such as a .371 batting average, eight extra-base hits, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored, but an overlooked aspect of his game is his ability to draw walks. Entering Thursday, he was tied for the team lead with six free passes, and it felt like every at-bat throughout the spring he saw at least four or five pitches. Cash noticed his discipline at the plate. ÂThe power is something that kind of naturally comes,ÂŽ Cash said. ÂObviously it was cool to see the homers and everything, but just the pitch recognition. How he was able to turn an at-bat over and lay off pitches to put himself into good counts.ÂŽ It hasnÂt all been positives in Bauers career. In a minor-league allstar game broadcasted on MLB Network, he did something which will likely stick with him forever. Bauers found a way to turn the blunder into a learning opportunity. ÂI got a base hit, was on first base,ÂŽ Bauers recalled. ÂI donÂt know why I was trying to steal a base in an allstar game. I tripped Â… the guys picked off, I went and I tripped. Head over heels and did a little barrel roll on national television. I was a big laughing stock for a while. I just tried to laugh it off. ÂIf you canÂt have fun at your own expense, then youÂre going to have a miserable time. I guarantee, if you play this game long enough, something is going to happen where youÂre going to be the joke for a few days.ÂŽ Bauers was still up with the Rays in ThursdayÂs game after finding out about heading to the minors earlier that morning. The disappointment didnÂt stop him from continuing his great spring, as he hit a tworun double in his first at-bat. He even threw a runner out at the plate to keep the sco re at 5-4 in the eighth inning. „Contact Bryan Levine at blevine@sun-herald. com.

By BETH HARRISAssociated PressLOS ANGELES „ The eagle has landed on top. The United States routed Puerto Rico 8-0 to win its first World Baseball Classic in four tries on Wednesday night behind six hitless innings from Marcus Stroman. The Americans planted their eagle statue mascot on the mound in celebration, a blue cap jauntily hanging from one of its large wings. ÂItÂs a different feeling when the USA is on your chest,ÂŽ first baseman Eric Hosmer said. ÂWe wanted to get the U.S. back on top of the baseball world, and we did that.ÂŽ For a sport known as AmericaÂs pastime, the U.S. had struggled since the WBC began in 2006. Twice, the Americans lost in the second round and they went out in the semifinals in 2009. This time was different. ÂThese guys were here to do their best,ÂŽ Team USA general manager Joe Torre said. ÂThe thing I marveled at was how quickly they came together, and Jimmy (Leyland) deserves a lot of that credit. TheyÂre just a great group who understood what this event is all about.ÂŽ Accepting the gleaming silver trophy from baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, manager Leyland told the crowd, ÂThis is for the men and women who serve our country.ÂŽ After the final out, the Americans massed on the mound, hugging and high-fiving while fireworks exploded in center field. Some of them grabbed a U.S. flag and circled the warning track, waving it in celebration with fans in the stands. ÂThere was only one thing on our mind, was to win this thing and to do whatever we can to win,ÂŽ left fielder Christian Yelich said. ÂThat helped us come together.ÂŽ The U.S. pounded out 13 hits and finished with a 6-2 record while making the final for the first time in front of 51,565 at Dodger Stadium. Puerto RicoÂs fans saluted their team with a standing ovation and the players responded by clapping. ÂThe satisfaction is huge,ÂŽ manager Edwin Rodriguez said. ÂIt has filled our hearts.ÂŽ BASEBALL: WBCAP PHOTOThe U.S. team celebrates an 8-0 win over Puerto Rico in the final of the World Baseball Classic Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Herald Page 2 Friday, March 24, 2017 After a quick vacation last week with a daytrip to Miami and a weekend jaunt to Charlotte, North Carolina, I became very ill. I havenÂt been this sick since I was a child. Only this time, I didnÂt have my mom to make me chicken noodle soup and bring me a 7-Up. To this day, I donÂt like 7-Up because it reminds me of being sick. I know St. PatrickÂs Day weekend revelry might have some of you on the mend from a different kind of flu. This weekend will be busy again. ItÂs time for Pedal and Play in Paradise, an annual fundraiser event supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Team Punta GordaÂs Bicycle Initiatives. My daughter and I rode in the event last year. We got a flat tire, but it was a lovely day. I highly recommend the event. Since I am recovering from what I think is the flu, I will be sitting out this year. If you are in Punta Gorda this weekend, watch out for bicyclists on Friday and Saturday as Pedal and Play has multiple events (visit pedalandplayinparadise. com/). Then, on Sunday, also in the same area of Laishley Park, stop by to enjoy the Taste of Punta Gorda from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This Punta Gorda Rotary Club event is to Âhonor those that serve us „ the veterans, police, SWAT, forestry and fire department.ÂŽ Stay healthy, folks!

Herald Page 6 Friday, March 24, 2017 Excerpts from 40 years ago Punta GordaDo you remember when?FROM OUR ARCHIVES Janine Smith 40 Years AgoJanine Smith writes about Punta GordaÂs historic past. Contact her at janinehs1@ comcast.net.Excerpts from the Daily Herald-News from March 2430, 1977:I-75 task force meets MondayThe I-75 NOW task force will meet with transportation policy makers in Tampa on Monday. The NOW task force is a regional citizens committee which advocates completing the interstate highway system on the Southwest Coast as soon as possible. A delegation from Charlotte County includes Joyce Hindman, Edson Foster, Robert Hollander, Jack Lotz, H. Robert Reinhard and Corbin Wyant. The task force will tell the transportation policymakers of the urgent need for completing I-75 on the Southwest Coast, according to a task force press release. Ways of raising additional funds to expedite construction of the highway will also be discussed with legislators from Southwest Florida counties. And they plan to question Florida Transportation Secretary Tom Webb; senior executive assistant to the governor, James Tait; senate transportation committee chairman, Fred Jones; and other authorities. In addition, senior legislative aides Lawton Chiles and Richard Stone will make presentations on legislation they have co-sponsored to provide federal backed bonds to “nance construction of the interstate highway.Carrying a picture of her sonMrs. Marie Gipson, mother of Cmdr. Roy Howard Bowling in the Vietnam War, does not really Âfeel any differentÂŽ from before. Cmdr. Bowling is one of the 12 U.S. airmen whose remains were returned by the Vietnamese government. Mrs. Gipson wants a positive identi“cation by the U.S. government.Nursing home drive beginsA local committee, concerned about the shortage of nursing home beds, has begun a public campaign which may result in a referendum on the issue. ÂThe situation is just impossible,ÂŽ Mrs. Ruth Jones, of the State Welfare DepartmentÂs Of“ce of Aging, said. ÂCharlotte County does not have any place to put these people. The Punta Gorda Care Center has only eight beds available for Medicaid patients. Earlier this month we relocated four patients to Lake Wales.ÂŽ According to statistics, because of the high number of elderly people in Charlotte County, there should be at least 200 available beds for nursing home patients.Hospital gets $10,000 Hospital aid in the form of $10,000 was presented to St. Joseph Hospital Administrator, Sister Mary Augustine by Mrs. Sylvia G. Cook, treasurer of the Charity Ball Committee; H. Robert Reinhard, Ball chairman; and George Noeth, assistant treasurer. The money was raised by the 13th Annual St. Joseph Hospital Charity Ball.Commitment key to good teachingPatricia Konover, teacher at Sallie Jones Elementary School, Punta Gorda, believes that the American Society has become increasingly complex and has seen changes occur more rapidly. Hopefully, the role of professional educators has remained constant within the often volatile framework of educational reform: A sincere commitment to providing the best possible learning opportunities for each child. An ongoing search for that is necessary, starting with preschool students. As the childÂs self-con“dence grows, he or she can develop a higher degree of independence and self-direction These are principal qualities for the rest of their lives. The key to successful education is commitment at everyoneÂs part.In serviceMarine Lance Cpl. Kenneth C. Boleyn has been promoted to his present rank. He is serving with the First Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, California. Lance Cpl. Boleyn is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Herb M. Boleyn, Punta Gorda.Accordion virtuoso Floren playsAccordion virtuoso Myron Floren and a 10-piece orchestra will perform at a concert and dance tomorrow night as the “nal event of the Memorial AuditoriumÂs New Horizons Celebrity Series. Making his third appearance in Charlotte County, Floren is familiar for his association with Lawrence Welk, the ÂChampagne Music MaestroÂŽ Orchestra. Floren is recognized as one of the countryÂs most accomplished accordionists. ÂHe has been a favorite with Charlotte audiences since he “rst appeared in the 1974-75 Celebrities Series,ÂŽ said Harry Nohrr, director of the auditorium.ÂWizard of Oz returnsThe immortal musical production of the ÂWizard of OzÂŽ for young and old is returning to the Charlotte Cultural Center Theatre on Sunday.

Herald Page 10 Friday, March 24, 2017 The highlight of the solemn ceremony was the presentation of the ”ags of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard carried in by veterans. The small ”ags will ”y atop a long wall beneath a 35-foot pole bearing a large Stars and Stripes. On pedestals at either end of that wall and adjacent to the fountain pool itself, a smaller American ”ag and the Canadian ”ag will be displayed. Duane Gordon, who headed up the boat clubÂs memorial committee, said of the maple leaf ”ag of our northern neighbors, ÂA lot of Canadians live in here. We wanted to honor their service and give them some acknowledgement, too. We wonÂt ”y the smaller ”ags all the time; just during holiday ceremonies.ÂŽ Duane came into adulthood between wars but learned respect for those who serve in the military from his father and had no problem devoting the time and effort to build the memorial. He said, ÂMy dad was a veteran, an artilleryman during the Korean war. He never would talk about it. IÂve always ”own a ”ag since IÂve been an adult.ÂŽ He had plenty of help from his wife, Sheila, whose father served in World War II and mother became a Rosie the Riveter, and committee members Ken Fahrbach, who also donated the $7,000 ”agpole, Pat Garrett and Gene Kraese. In addition to honoring veterans, there was another reason the community worked together to support construction of the memorial „ pride. The scenic amenity at the entrance provides a beautiful centerpiece all residents can enjoy, and a blue Windmill Village ”ag will replace the American ”ag atop the pole when a resident of the over-55 community passes away. The member-owned nonpro“t that operates the community tossed in $9,000 for the memorial, and the boat club committee raised $16,000, mostly from the residents themselves. Sheila said, ÂWeÂre a proud community. We all watch out for each other and take care of each other. We joined together to do this.ÂŽ Duane agreed, saying, ÂThe boat club has breakfast and dinner fundraisers to feed the community for $5 apiece. ItÂs all done by volunteers, and we raise $300, $500 and put it all back in the community. We also raf”ed off boat rides and “shing rides for people without boats to enjoy. The community really supported this, and the whole community is proud of it. ÂThe committee and I are just tickled. ItÂs an asset to the community. I was raised to believe in God, work hard, give back to charities and treat others like you want to be treated. ƒ I can leave this park and know it will have a lasting effect on my family.ÂŽFROM PAGE 1COVER STORY Gordon Bower Punta GordyGordon Bower is a freelance writer and photographer.

Friday, March 24, 2017 Herald Page 13 When you stop by Gabriele Childs studio and gallery on Olympia Avenue in Punta Gorda, be prepared for an experience. You might pass by the small white brick studio, but it deserves another look. From amazing mixed-media landscapes to shell-encased mirrors and candelabras and even a still life, your eyes wonÂt know where to go “rst. Now Childs is adding to the collection and unveiling her “rst show in nine years. Transformations will focus on Âa new series of collaged handpainted papers with transformed images encased in polymer and mounted on textured board,ÂŽ according to an invitation to her reception tonight. Even though the reception is by invitation-only, Childs is opening her studio for additional hours beginning Monday and going through April 26. ÂBlack & Gold,ÂŽ a painting Childs created in 2013 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Animal Welfare League, will be offered for sale the night of the reception. Childs is donating the piece so the buyer will write the check to the AWL and receive an amazing piece of art. Charlotte Symphony OrchestraÂs violinist, Brandis Godwin, will provide music for the event. Hors dÂoeuvres and refreshments will be served. ÂIÂm very excited about this series,ÂŽ Childs said. ÂItÂs brand-new work.ÂŽ Transformations is a “tting name as Childs says art transforms her. ÂIt is so much a part of my life. It has given me peace, focus, escape and joy,ÂŽ she said. Childs is happy to share about her love of art. Her “rst memories are of a washstand in her home in the Black Forest area of Germany where her uncle, her motherÂs brother, kept a little stack of watercolors. ÂI would leaf through them,ÂŽ Childs said. ÂI grew up in a family that loved to cook so being creative was always there. I always sketched and drew, and I am a pretty good cook.ÂŽ Childs says that she typically spends six to eight weeks on a piece. ÂArt is a matter of solving problems „ the color, composition and subject matter.ÂŽ Her professional career began in the 1990s. She shared a gallery and studied with an artist for 10 years in Colorado. ÂI learned the basics. I was working in oils and realism. It taught me a lot.ÂŽ She said she has painted with yarn Âa long time ago.ÂŽ Childs has gained knowledge through working with many artists. One artist she named speci“cally was Nancy Robinson. The Transformations pieces are smaller than her typical works. They come in three sizes „ 12x16, 16x16 and 20x20. ÂI wanted this to be compact and more interesting,ÂŽ Childs said of the pieces. Take a look for yourself. Your idea of art might change for the better. Artist Childs unveils new show, Transformations SEE TRANSFORMATIONSArtist Gabriele Childs will be at her gallery, 251 E.

Friday, March 24, 2017 Herald Page 15 Once again the Charlotte Tarpons used a combination of the strong right arm of Sydney Thomas along with some timely hitting and solid defense to shut out North Port 11-0 in their final game before spring break. Thomas had a ÂLawrence WelkÂŽ inning (a one, and a two, and a three) through the first three innings. The Bobcats touched her for a pair of singles in the fifth, but a three-run burst in the bottom of the fifth inning ended the game with the mercy rule in effect. ÂAll in all, it was a good win. TheyÂve got some ball players on that team and we did well against them. We still have some things to work on, we always will. Our outfield did a good job tonight with Jaedyn Stevens making a really nice catch out there. Great defense and great offense, thatÂs how we play the game,ÂŽ said Tarpons coach Tony Brannon. Cheyenne ÂDeSotoÂŽ Torres led the way from her leadoff spot going 3-3, including a double, and scored three times. Paige Thompson scored twice as did Kailey Scott. Stephanie Vullo scored three times without the benefit of a hit. She had a first-inning walk and in her third at-bat she was hit by a pitch and scored. In the fifth inning she scored on a double error to end the game. Charlotte opened the game with three runs in the first as lead-off hitter Torres was hit by a pitch, Vullo drew a walk and ThompsonÂs triple drove in two runs. Thompson scored on a base knock by Krystle Byrne. The fourth inning gave the Tarpons some breathing room as they dented the dish five times. They used four singles, a hit batter and a Bobcat error to boost their lead to 8-0. The game ended with no outs in the fifth as Scott singled to start the inning. Torres doubled her into scoring position. They both scored as Vullo was safe on an error. With the ball flying all around the infield, Vullo motored around the bases on another throwing error and kept running until she scored and gave the Tarpons another victory.Thomas two-hitter shuts out North Port HERALD PHOTOS BY STEVE KNAPPCharlotteÂs Sydney Thomas took a no-hitter into the fth inning for the second time this season and ended with a two-hitter, just as she did at Lemon Bay earlier this season. Charlotte shut out North Port 11-0. First baseman Stephanie Vullo drives this pitch to the second baseman who made an error. Vullo kept running as there was another error on the same play and scored the nal run in the 11-0 win. Vullo scored three times without the benet of a hit in the win over North Port. Tarpons Coach Tony Brannon gives some advice to Krystle Byrne with a couple of runners on base. Charlotte shut out North Port 11-0.

Page 12 The Sun Classified E/N/Cads.yoursun.netFriday, March 24, 2017 DEAR DR. ROACH: My sister was rear-ended last summer and suffered whiplash. She went to a chiropractor for adjustment, but that did not help. Ever since the accident, she has experienced excruciating head pain whenever she bends over to do anything! If she lowers her head at all, the pain is so intense that her eyes water. SheÂs gone to an ear, nose and throat doctor to check her sinuses (clear) as well as for X-rays and MRIs, and to another chiropractor. ItÂs been over “ve months, and she has found no relief, nor been given any reason for whatÂs happening to her. IÂm 1,500 miles away and unable to help her. Do you have any suggestions for her? „ M.N. ANSWER: The term ÂwhiplashÂŽ refers to trauma to the neck that involves rapid ”exion (like looking at the ”oor) and extension (as in looking up at the ceiling). ItÂs not clear exactly what causes the inj ury, but small amounts of bleeding and in”ammation are thought to be part of the mechanism of injury. It is not uncommon to have a normal or nearly normal MRI, yet still have pain. You havenÂt told me whether she has gone to a physical therapist, which probably would be my recommendation. There is some evidence that massage therapy and a TENS unit may bene“t a whiplash injury. The headache getting worse on bending over is not typical. That is characteristic of a rare type of headache, one due to increased pressure of cerebrospinal ”uid, the ”uid that surrounds the brain. A visit to a neurologist would be worthwhile. DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband, 36 and in good health, was scheduled for surgery, and in the pre-op work, his blood showed elevated white blood cells. In particular, he has elevated neutrophils, monocytes and immature granulocytes. The other blood cells, including red blood cells and platelets, are normal. They scared us by talking about leukemia, and now we are both terri“ed. We will be referred to hematology. „ H.M.B. ANSWER: Neutrophils, monocytes and immature granulocytes all are types of white blood cells, and part of what is called the myeloid line (ÂmyeloidÂŽ is from the Greek word for Âmarrow,ÂŽ and the myeloid line makes different cells from the lymphocytic line). His results are suspicious for a myeloproliferative disorder (chronic myelogenous leukemia is one of these), and that visit to the hematologist is absolutely necessary. There are other possibilities, such as an infection, which can cause similar changes in the blood. I agree that an elective surgery should be put off until things can be made clear. After con“rming these results, the hematologist may want to look at his bone marrow. A bone marrow biopsy takes a small amount of bone marrow from the hip. It is the de“nitive test for most blood disorders, like the myeloproliferative disorders and other leukemias. Genetic analyses are an important part of diagnosis now, so the results may take some time to be de“nitive. At this point, I cannot be sure if your husband has a myeloproliferative disorder, let alone guess at which one it might be. The fact that the red blood cells and platelets are normal is a good sign. Please let me know what the hematologist says. READERS: Recurring vaginal infections can be troubling to women. The booklet on that topic explains them and their treatment.

Friday, March 24, 2017ads.yoursun.netE/N/C The Sun Classified Page 13 Dear Heloise: Most airplane ”ights these days do not have enough time between layovers for the cleaning crew to wipe down tray tables. To keep from picking up germs, I pack several antibacterial wipes and keep them in my purse to wipe down the trays and armrests. ItÂs also handy to use in the planeÂs lavatory. „ Shannon M., Muleshoe, Texas How right you are! If the ÂstopÂŽ is just to of”oad and load passengers, generally there is NO cleaning. As a road warrior with more than 2.7 million miles (one airline alone), I can tell you that staying healthy and germ-free is not easy today. I have several small bottles of hand sanitizer stashed everywhere! IÂve used some on a tissue to wipe off the tray and armrest. Yuck! „ HeloiseTravel hintsDear Heloise: Here are my favorite travel hints that have saved me many times: € Pack a small “rst-aid kit and keep it in the glove compartment of your car. € Carry all medications/ j ewelry in a carry-on bag or purse. € Always notify a relative or close friend of your date of departure and return. € Never carry your Social Security card in your wallet. „ Dan W. in DenverManualsDear Heloise: ItÂs so easy for computer manuals and disks to get lost, so when I buy a new computer, I take the books and disks that came with it and place them in large, resealable plastic bags and store them together in the hall closet. „ Kathy S., Austin, TexasWaste not, want notDear Heloise: I hate to waste paper! When IÂm tempted to toss out wastepaper from my computer, I place it in a box and take it to a recycling center instead. I called 311 and asked where the nearest recycling center was located. Now my entire of“ce staff has gotten on the recycling bandwagon, and we recycle as much paper and plastic as possible. „ Linda H., Dearborn, Mich.Make germs on the tray fly away!Hints from Heloise BUSINESS & SERVICE DIRECTORY Make your business a part of it!

The trouble with waking up to reality is that, once awake, you have to confront that you were, in some sense, asleep. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You tell yourself to do something and then do the oppo site. That's just human. Sometimes you can tolerate this, other times, like toda y, y ou can overcome it. Y VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Relationships are complicated, sure. Is a never-ending, always-growing love even really possible? Believe that it is. Cynicism is the enemy of love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's not always so easy to nd common ground with people, but when you can't nd it, you still will nd a way of showing support. Your eyes and attitude will say it all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's exciting where you are right now in your life. It's not perfect, and there is still room for growth. But you've accomplished something, and you'll build on that. Feel good about it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're not aiming to get a return on your relationships. You go with your heart and your attractions. The fact that you are rewarded so richly today is a bonus. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The more desirable a scene is, the more people want it all to themselves. Don't be discouraged. With enough intention and will, you'll soon break through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don't worry about making choices that are in keeping with the current style. Fashion doesn't even apply to you now. Your classic ways and tastes will always be in favor. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You won't exactly solve the problem going on between two people you love, but you can make it better by hearing both sides and being generally neutral. TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 24). You'll see more of the world this year. A change of venue brings something fresh and ery to your personal life. In April you'll reach back and x something that you broke a few years ago. June is for stretching your emotional muscles and taking risks with your heart. August will introduce you to new income. Scorpio and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4 30 20 1 and 18. DEAR ABBY: I lost my husband a few years ago and am now remarried. Some of my adult children, although they did not want me to be alone and they ÂsayÂŽ they are happy for me, have been slow in welcoming my new husband. I in no way expect him to be a replacement for their father. I only wish they would welcome him into their lives as they would anyone elseÂs spouse. They donÂt have to love him. I ask only that they respect him and acknowledge that heÂs part of my life now. Wishing him a happy birthday and happy holidays directly would go a long way to making him feel accepted, as would more general communication. He has tried on numerous occasions to show an interest in their lives, but he receives little acknowledgement in return. His children have welcomed me into their lives. This has strained and changed my relationship with my children. I just want a family again. Is it asking too much of them to accept my husband as part of the family and to treat him that way? „ MISSING MY FAMILY IN FLORIDA DEAR MISSING: Have you told your children that the cool reception they have given your husband is harmful not only to him but also to you? If you have and they are still unable to warm up to him, itÂs t ime to concentrate your efforts on building closer relationships with those relatives who are willing to be more welcoming. Remember, we canÂt change other people. We can, however, change ourselves, and by doing so, change the way we REACT to them. DEAR ABBY: I have a family dilemma. We employ our 16-year-old niece to watch our boys, ages 8 and 10, during the summer and school breaks. We pay her well to come to our home and watch them eight hours a day. My problem is, her younger brother is my sonÂs best friend. He gets invited to their house for a sleepover the day before we need a sitter, and both boys go. Then the next day their mom says our niece watched them, and therefore she should get paid for that day, too. Abby, the mom is there all day. To me, a cousin sleepover isnÂt something that should be charged for. Their children have come to our house for years for sleepovers, and I never charged them. Is this OK? And if not, how do we refuse? We have already told her we prefer the boys to be watched at our home, so they receive one-on-one time. What do you think about this? „ COUSIN SLEEPOVER DEAR C.S.: What do I think? I think you have been taken advantage of. A baby sitter is hired when there is no adult in the home to supervise the children. If your nephewÂs mother canÂt be home when your boys have been invited for a sleepover, the person who should pay for the ba by sitter is her „ not you. If you want to put an end to this, tell the woman exactly what I have told you. DEAR ABBY: I am a step-grandfather. Must I go to a grandchildÂs church performances even though IÂm an atheist? „ COMMAND PERFORMANCE IN OREGON DEAR COMMAND: If you want a close and loving relationship with your grandchild (notice I didnÂt say Âstep-Â), you should absolutely be present to encourage and support that child! ÂHe that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love.ÂŽ „ John 4:8. This is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible. Do we appreciate it? Do we accept it and do we spread it? LetÂs let more of his love shine through us. BIBLEMomÂs adult children are slow to embrace her new husbandVenice Gondolier readers: Look for the puzzle solution in the Our Town section Dear Abby

L ast Friday and Saturday Premier Auction Group, a national company headquartered in Lakew ood Ranch, Sarasota, conducted their third collector car auction in Punta Gorda at the Event and Conference Center. On both days the auction began at 10 a.m. with a total of 414 varied vehicles preregistered. Fees to consign each car or truck were $200 to $450, plus a sellers commission of 7 percent. Bidders paid fees of $50 to $100 plus a buyerÂs premium of 7 percent for each unit bought. There were approximately 500 bidders and over 800 spectators daily, some staying all day, others for a few hours. While there, I personally spoke to bidders, spectators, buyers and sellers from England, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Brazil, Hawaii, Cuba, China, Canada, Trinidad, Puerto Rico plus many USA states. Economically, the auction served Punta Gorda and Charlotte County well, helping banks, car rental agencies, hotels, motels, restaurants, gas stations, shops, media advertising, etc. The owners of Premier Auction Group, Julie Zimmerman, Kenny Garman, Brian Marshall and Chris Neuhauser, held their “rst auction just three years ago in the former Sweetbay store building owned by Rick Treworgy. Since then they have grown to participate in 51 events yearly, having a sale ratio of 64 percent. Last week here, it was 68 percent with gross sales of $5 million dollars, very good indeed! The top money car was a perfect 1931 Studebaker President Four Seasons Roadster “gure of $280,000 plus seller and buyer premium commissions, making a total of $299,500, believed to be a record for any Studebaker. Another eye-opener was an unusual big block 1967 Corvette certi“ed silver award-winner at a recent Bloomington, Illinois, show hammered down at approximately $165,000. There were others in the $100,000 range also, and those, plus all sales “gures, are available at PremierAuctionGroup. com. They will be returning in winter next December here for a similar sale that will be well-publicized, so donÂt miss it. Even as a spectator, itÂs a bargain. The auction management want it known the volunteers from Charlotte Technical College, under the guidance of instructor/ program planner Tom Viele, brought along a special trophy to be auctioned off to help raise funds for travel expenses for some students competing in the Skills USA competition, “rst to Lakeland for three days then gold medalists go on to Louisville, Kentucky. B ecause of the generosity of the bidders along with donations a total of $10,000 was raised to cover the costs. Congratulations to all involved! Lee and I are happy and proud to have covered all three Premier events for this column and the Sun Newspapers. We look forward to the December auction. The other event featured is Muscle Car City Eighth Anniversary Show that took place Sunday, March 19. The weather was perfect, just as it was eight years ago, for the grand opening event where a fundraiser for the Salvation Army was held at the same time. A total of 639 collector vehicles “lled the main parking lot and the area west and north of the museum. Spectators were parked along the east side of the building also along U.S. 41 including the grassy section between north and south lanes Prem i er Auct i on Th i rd Punta Gorda Event and Muscle Car City Eighth Anniversary Show PHOTO BY LEE ROYSTONPremier Auction Oce sign where cars are registered for sale and settling up is done after sold inside event center.

Friday, March 24, 2017ads.yoursun.netE/N/C The Sun Classified Page 23 all the way to and on the nearby shopping center as well as side streets in Burnt Store Isles. Rick Treworgy, founder of the museum and currently with his daughter April, and the entire staff kept everything running smooth from start to “nish. As far as I know that show still remains the largest of any in Charlotte County. Last SundayÂs show had a respectable 140 units registered and at least 35 more that did not register to be judged. Four other auto-related events were also taking place including an auction and high-volume car show at the Lee Civic Auditorium in Ft. Myers, thus RickÂs 175 loyal followers was OK. Quality dash plaques were given to the “rst 100 cars to check in plus ÂTop ChoiceÂŽ wall plaques were awarded to the winners of the judged competition. One free museum admission was provided for each paid registration of participating vehicles and useful door prizes were called out often by DJ Tommy Brooks. Outside aisles of vendors did brisk sales of their products while the diner served their tasty '50Âs, '60Âs, '70Âs food and hand-dipped milk shakes happily prepared by Chef Mike and assistants. Ms. Pam and her crew cheerfully served patrons up until 4 p.m. Even though it was RickÂs daughter April PatchellÂs birthday she stayed and ran the operation as general manager, Dina Modesto, RickÂs “ancee and former general manager stopped by to greet old friends. The pictures tell the story better than the words. We, and all attendees, look forward to many more anniversaries of this famed Muscle Car City Museum. Congratulations to Rick Treworgy for ful“lling his lifelong dream of collecting and sharing his love for special automobiles with fellow hobbyists and the public!

Page 16 The Sun Classified E/N/C/Vads.yoursun.netSaturday, March 25, 2017 The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that from age 3 children get an annual well-child checkup. It should cover everything from how much you read to your child, the risk of lead paint contamination in your home, hearing, dental care, physical and cognitive development to potential familial health problems such as elevated LDL (lousy) cholesterol. The A AP suggests the doctor talk directly to preteens about drug use, alcohol and sexual activity. These guidelines are important: View yearby-year info at www. healthychildren.org. If your pediatrician isnÂt talking to you about these issues, bring them up yourself! But donÂt stop there. Here are some other important ways to protect your child from risky accidents, unnecessary illness and lifelong health challenges. Home Safety: Childproo“ng 1. Did you know that more than 700 children in North America 14 and younger die annually from unintentional drowning, many in pools that lack secured fences and gates? A nd for every child who drowns, another “ve end up in the emergency room for submersion injuries. To do: If you have a pool, make sure itÂs surrounded with an isolation fence and secure gate. 2. Laundry pods „ those super-concentrated detergent balls „ are a major risk for kids, even though the industry adopted voluntary, improved standards in 2015. A study released last spring in the journal Pediatrics revealed that from January 2013 through December 2014 poison control centers in the U.S. received 62,254 calls related to laundry and dishwasher detergent exposures among children younger than 6. And recently, in JAMA Ophthalmology, researchers reported on 480 kids who in 2015 received ocular burns when liquid in the pods squirted out into their eyes. To do: The researchers suggest if you have kids younger than 6, stick with traditional laundry detergents. 3. Guns in the home are a major childhood hazard. A ccording to Nationwide ChildrenÂs Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, 1,500 kids a year die from gun violence. But many docs are reluctant to bring up the topic. Help change that! A 2011 Florida law that targeted pediatricians said that doctors could be punished with a “ne of up to $10,000 and lose their medical licenses for discussing guns with patients. It was just overturned (whew!). Now the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Surgeons, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Psychiatric Association and the American College of Emergency Physicians have joined the American Public Health Association to issue a Âcall to actionÂŽ to address “rearm-related violence as a major public health problem. The American Medical Association is encouraging members to inquire about household “rearms as a standard part of childproofing the home. To do: If you have a gun at home, keep gun and ammo locked up separately; when visiting friends and relatives with your kids, ask if there are unsecured guns in the home. Other Serious Health Risks 1. One study found that docs bring up a childÂs excess weight only 22 percent of the time. To do: Ask your doc to determine your childÂs BMI (if 6 or older) and discuss immediate and long-range health repercussions. Early overweight increases chances for premature heart disease, diabetes, social and emotional problems and more. 2. Most docs advocate the Centers for Disease Control and PreventionÂs recommended vaccination schedule for kids. So ... To do: Robert Kennedy Jr. and Robert De Niro promised $100,000 if you prove vaccines are safe. The YOU Docs spent a month reviewing every study on vaccine safety and interviewing 150 experts on all sides of the issue. Our conclusion: Vaccines arenÂt perfectly safe, but the chance of signi“cant disease-preventing bene“t is more than 40,000 times the risk. ThatÂs a pretty impressive degree of safety. That research is out there for everyone to look at and is summarized in our book ÂYOU: Raising a Child.ÂŽ If you win the prize, please make a donation jointly in our and your names to the American Academy of Pediatrics!Does your ch i ldÂs doctor check on these important issues?

She really championed her ÂhousewifesÂŽ as she called her readers, because yes, they were housewives back then. She tried to tell her readers that there is more to life than just housework! But donÂt forget: cleaning, laundry and dusting go on and on and on! She also would say that maintaining a schedule is important to running a household, but donÂt worry if you fall behind a day or two. You always can catch up. Life is too short to worry about all the little what-ifs and what-would-have-beens! Sound advice, IÂd say. Today, the entire family should be involved in caring for your home. But, as she would say, be yourself; do only what your energy allows for that day! „ Heloise (II)Perfume powerDear Heloise: This hint has always helped me put on the right amount of perfume. I dab a tiny bit of unscented body lotion or baby oil on my wrist and behind my ears, and then spray those areas with t he scent. The fragrance lasts longer this way! „ Tina C., Nashville, Tenn. Thanks for the reminder. If you can smell your fragrance, then you probably have put on too much. HELOISE HINT: DonÂt spray the scent in the air, then walk through it; you only get perfume on your clothes that way „ not good. „ HeloiseComposting to learnDear Heloise: We try to compost as much as we can „ yard clippings, vegetable trimmings, eggshells, coffee grounds and even torn-up newspapers (no meat or fat!). For a small compost pile, we use a bin „ this keeps critters out. Sprinkling the compost with water encourages breakdown of the materials. We share this with our grandchildren when they come to visit. When the compost has been there for a few weeks, it gets HOT inside the pile. I have the little ones put their hands over the compost to feel the heat! This means itÂs time to turn the compost and add air to it. „ Chuck and Esther, Round Rock, TexasHousekeeping in perspectiveHints from Heloise BUSINESS & SERVICE DIRECTORY Make your business a part of it!

Before you let your guard down with anyone, he or she must pass the battery of social, emotional and intellectual tests of y our subconscious design. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A mischievous mood prevails, though you must be somewhat careful about how you act on it. There's much you'll get away with, and it's all in the name of fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll see what others miss. So g o on and state the obvious because it's only obvious to you. Eventually, this may earn you a position of leadership. But right now it's earning you some serious respect. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Learning not to worry about things that are outside of your control is a skill that will contribute in a huge way to your personal happiness and satisfaction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Actors strive to learn everything they can about the characters they play, as one must understand something to become it. The change you want to make will be g in with stud y VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do two things at once and you'll accomplish neither. Multitasking will be at best a waste of time, at worst a dangerous opening for stupid mistakes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The darkness of night often turns on the light of the movie projector in your mind. Your imagination will be especially strong tonight; envision a beautiful future. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life is the true wealth. Vitality is the most desired quality. Make a concerted eort to avoid sacricing sleep and other thin g s that create o p timum health. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Time will sail for you today, mostly because you'll get so into what you're doing. You'll make something special and gure out how to put the thoughts of what you love into this project.

Next month brings sweetness and laughter with someone younger. There's a gold mine for you to discover in June. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 1, 44, 15 and 30. DEAR ABBY: My sister ÂMaddyÂŽ is in 12th grade and will graduate soon. Over the last two years, we have grown really close „ from eating Chinese together every other day, to going shopping together. We have the closest relationship in the family, and I consider her to be my best friend. Although I have many close friends, her being my sister makes her the closest to me. Lately IÂve been mad at her. I thought for a while it was because she got a boyfriend, but her boyfriend is like a brother to me and we get along great. After hearing her say, ÂOnly a couple of more months till IÂm done with school forever,ÂŽ I have realized IÂm mad because sheÂs graduating soon. I have two younger sisters, but we arenÂt nearly as close as Maddy and I are. For the past month, IÂve been saying no when Maddy and her boyfriend ask me to hang out with them. IÂm afraid that because of this IÂm going to lose the bond I have with my sister. I donÂt want her to graduate because it means sheÂll be moving away, and I w onÂt get to see my best friend every day. I donÂt know whether to be happy about her graduating, or angry. Please help me. „ MIXED UP IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR MIXED UP: Try to be happy for your sister. Explain to Maddy why you have been behaving the way you have so she will understand. From your description of your emotions, it appears you may be suffering from a version of empty-nest syndrome. ItÂs a malady that often strikes parents when their child is about to Âlaunch.ÂŽ An effective way to counteract it is to “nd activities you enjoy and keep yourself busy so you will have less time to brood. Another thought: This is now YOUR chance to be the supportive oldest sister in the house, and to forge a closer relationship with your younger siblings. ItÂs an opportunity that may reap big dividends in the future, so please donÂt waste it. DEAR ABBY: The daughter of a friend of more than 20 years is getting married next year. They live 1,400 miles away. She told m e yesterday that I am invited to the wedding, but my live-in boyfriend is not. Her explanation is she has to control the costs. She told me a mutual frie ndÂs husband isnÂt invited, either. Including the price of a gift, it would cost me around $900 to attend the wedding. She had implied that wedding gifts should be in the range of $200 to cover the expense of the food and drink. I have decided to decline the invitation because my boyfriend canÂt come. What would an appropriate gift be? „ STAYING PUT IN WISCONSIN DEAR STAYING PUT: According to the rules of etiquette, because you donÂt plan to attend the wedding, no gift is required. However, in light of your more than 20-year friendship, consider sending a token gift to the daughter „ the price range is up to you. Readers, there is a common misconception that the price of wedding gifts must be in line with what the hosts spend on the food and beverages at the reception. According to Emily Post, that is a Âmodern myth,ÂŽ and Âthe amount you spend is strictly a matter of your budget.ÂŽ ÂJesus wept.ÂŽ „ J ohn 11:35. This is the shortest verse in the Bible but very long in meaning. It shows the humanness and compassion of Christ. How can we reject such a saviour?

ADVERTISER INDEX Anyone whoÂs been “shing in Southwest Florida more than once or twice quickly realizes that there is a lot to learn about being an angler here. There are so many dierent species to target and so much water where you can “sh. Then when you start adding in variables „ for example, time of year, water temperature, weather conditions, tide height and direction „ the sheer number of possibilities you might encounter in any given day on the water can easily become overwhelming. And I didnÂt even mention all the laws and regulations that you have to deal with. If thatÂs the boat youÂre in right now, I have good news „ it does eventually get a little easier and start to make some sense. But IÂd be lying if I told you that youÂll know it all someday. The cold, hard truth is that no one does, and no one can. I myself choose to look at this as a good thing. I like learning, and being a Southwest Florida angler means I can spend my whole life “shing here and never run out of things to learn. Before you can run, you have to be able to walk. This publication is designed to ensure that youÂre walking on solid ground as you climb the local “shing learning curve. If youÂre just getting started, the articles here will get you o on the right foot. For those of you who already have some angling experience in the area, this will serve as a reference, reminding you of some things you already know and helping you put together some pieces so the puzzle makes more sense. If youÂve been “shing here for the last 20 years, you can probably still pick up a thing or two by reading through this guide. I am continually reminded by how amazing our waters truly are and how lucky we are to live within easy distance of their shores. If you live to “sh, there are precious few places that would make better homes. Each of us who loves and enjoys Charlotte Harbor and the surrounding waterways has a responsibility to do what he can to ensure that the quality of the habitat and the “shing remain high, so those who come after us will have the same opportunity to fall in love with this incredible and unique environment. „ Josh Olive, WaterLine Publisher A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER WaterLine photo by Josh OliveAre they experts? No, they are not. But theyÂre having fun, and thatÂs what really matters. Lots to learn

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 4 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Shutterstock photoFlorida residents 65 years and older donÂt need a shing license, but theyÂll still need to sign up for the Gulf Reef Fish Survey if theyÂre headed out to look for grouper. The short answer: Probably, unless youÂre under 16 years old or a Florida resident over 65 years old (youÂll have to prove it, so keep proof of age and address with you, or you can get a no-cost “shing certi“cate from your county tax collectorÂs oce). But thereÂs a long list of exceptions from the license requirement. If you “t one of these exemptions, you donÂt need a license: You are a Florida resident certi“ed as totally and permanently disabled AND you possess a Florida Resident Disabled Person Hunting and Fishing Certi“cate. You are a resident who is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, you are not stationed in this state, and you are home on leave for 30 days or less, upon submission of orders. You are a resident who is “shing with live or natural bait, using poles or lines that are not equipped with a “shing-line-retrieval mechanism, and you are “shing for noncommercial purposes in your home county. However, you must have a valid “shing license to “sh by any method in a “sh management area. This does not apply to any form of netting, nor to shell“sh, lobster, crabs or shrimp. You have been accepted as a client for developmental disabilities services by the Department of Children and Family Services. The department must furnish proof to such clients. The following exemptions apply to only freshwater anglers: You “sh in your county of residence on your homestead or the homestead of your spouse or minor child, or if you are a minor child “shing on the homestead of your parent. You are “shing in a “sh pond of 20 acres or less which is located entirely within the private property of its owner. A “sh pond is a man-made pond constructed for the primary purpose of “shing, entirely within the property lines of the owner and with no surface water connection to public waters. You are “shing in a “sh pond of 20 acres or more, whose owner has purchased a “sh pond license at a fee of $3 per surface acre. You possess a Resident Freshwater Commercial Fishing License. You are “shing during Free Fishing Weekend (the “rst weekend of April). The following exemptions apply only to saltwater anglers: You “sh from a for-hire vessel (guide, charter, party boat) that has a valid vessel license. You “sh from a vessel, the operator of which has a valid vessel license issued in the name of the operator of the vessel. You “sh for recreational purposes from a pier with a valid pier saltwater “shing license. You have a valid saltwater products license. You “sh for mullet in fresh water and you have a valid Florida freshwater “shing license. You are a resident who is saltwater “shing from land or a structure “xed to land who has been determined eligible for the food stamp, temporary cash assistance, or Medicaid Program by the Department of Children and Family Services. Proof of identi“cation and a bene“t issuance or program identi“cation card issued by DCFS or the Agency for Health Care Administration must be on your person when “shing. Until August 2009, Florida residents saltwater “shing from shore or any land-based structure didnÂt need a license. Now you do, but the license is free. However, note that since you need a license, you will need a lobster or snook permit if you want to harvest those species in season. The shore “shing license covers wade “shing, but only if you donÂt take a boat to your wading location. That means if you take the ferry to Palm Island and then “sh from the beach, you need a regular saltwater license. If you already have a regular saltwater “shing license, you donÂt need a shore license, too „ youÂre already covered. The free shore license is for residents only „ nonresidents must purchase a regular license even if “shing only from shore. For more information on “shing licenses or to buy one online, visit MyFWC.com/license. GOING REEF FISHING?Even if youÂre over 65, youÂll still need to sign up for the stateÂs Gulf Reef Fish Survey. ItÂs mandatory for all anglers shing in the Gulf of Mexico from a private boat, and planning to harvest, possess or land any of the following reef sh: Red and vermilion snapper; gag, black and red grouper; gray triggersh; greater and lesser amberjack; banded ruddersh; and almaco jack. Sign up to participate in the survey at License. MyFWC.com, by calling 888-FISHFLORIDA (347-4356) or in person at your local tackle store or tax collectorÂs oce. The process is easy and wonÂt cost you a dime. LICENSE FEESRecreational licenses and permits for residents and nonresidents are available at county tax collectors oces. In addition, you can buy them from subagents, such as sporting goods stores or other retailers that sell hunting or shing equipment; on the Internet and by phone. All license, permit and issuance fees are subject to change by the legislature. State law guarantees all money from sale of shing licenses goes to the FWC to help fulll its mission of Âmanaging sh and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benet of people.ÂŽ Resident Salt water OR Fres hwater F ishing: $17/year, $79/5 years Resident Salt water/Fres hwater F ishing Combo: $32.50/year Resident Saltwater Shoreline License: Free Lifetime Saltwater (includes Snook and Lobster perrmits) OR Fres hwater F ishing License 4 years or younger: $126.50 5-12 years: $226.50 13 years or older: $301.50 Nonresident 3-Day Freshwater OR Saltwater Fishing: $17 Nonresident 7-Day Freshwater OR Saltwater Fishing: $30 Nonresident Annual Freshwat er OR S altwater Fishing: $47

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 6 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing One of the toughest things for new Southwest Florida anglers to “gure out is tides. The mysterious and hard-to-predict rise and fall really throws many of them for a loop. But tides are something it really pays to get a handle on, because if you can make the tides work for you, it will help you catch a lot more “sh. Tides are not that hard to understand if you are a bass “sherman. Think about it: If you “sh a lake on a regular basis, when you have a lot of rain and the water levels come way up, the bass move up into the grass and places they can not normally go. As the water level falls back to normal, the bass move to their usual locations around the shoreline. If the water in the lake happens to get very low, the bass move into deeper water. The only dierence is that here we have this happen almost every day. As the tide rises and falls, the “sh will move around „ just like the bass on a lake. The thing to remember is you want to go on the ”ats at low tide. After low tide, the water comes in, meaning you will get more in those shallow areas and you will be able to get out from wherever you happen to be. If you go in at high tide, the waterÂs outgoing and getting shallower as time goes by, so you may be stuck for a while. Now “sh know the tides and will follow the rising water as it comes in back into the creeks and shallow areas, so itÂs a good idea to “sh the mouth of a small creek at low tide. As the water rises, the “sh will go up farther into the creek, maybe out of your reach. But after high tide when the water is falling, IÂll often sit at the mouth of a creek waiting for the “sh to come back out. LetÂs jump to the middle for a minute. Slack tide „ yes, that time during the day when the water just is not moving. That is the kiss of death for ”ats “shing. You need moving water. So do you go take a lunch break? Nope; just go to a reef. Reefs can oer very good “shing during slack tides. When the water is moving, the “sh are facing into the current. Like most wild animals, “sh have a great sense of smell and like to smell what is coming at them. So during slack tide the “sh will mill about in all directions, giving you a better chance of them “nding your bait. This is a good time for sheepshead or mangrove snapper. Even gag grouper have been known to hit better during this time. Now we come to the change of tides. Sorry for the inconvenience, but nature is not run on a time table. The tide chart might say 1 p.m., but that really means 1-ish. Weather conditions, especially wind, play a role in exactly when it tides starts to move. The turn of the tide can be the best possible time to “sh. Once the water starts to go the other way, it begins to stir up all of the stu which settled when the tide pushed it the other way. Small creatures like tiny crabs and shrimp get swept up, so the pin“sh and other small predators start feeding „ followed by the larger “sh that you want to catch. Water movement on the ”ats is key to having a good day catching rather then a good day “shing. Moving water carries small creatures along with it, which brings the red“sh, snook, trout, and even the stingrays (which stir up the bottom even more). It all happens when the water is moving. Tidal ”ow determines not only when “sh feed but where. Ambush hunters will pick a place where the currant will bring bait by, like between two islands. Where there is a large body of water that mostly blocked by island and has to ”ow through a small cut, the current is intensi“ed. Bait“sh, shrimp and crabs get carried through such areas, sometimes in huge numbers. Lots of “sh will lay in wait at this type of place. So I position my boat a long cast (at least 40 feet back, so I donÂt spook the “sh) in front of the gap between the islands and cast a bait with no sinker or weights. We call it freelining, because the bait is free to move with the current. IÂll cast right at the mouth of the cut then leave my bail open, letting the line get sucked between the islands, which drags my bait right to the “sh. Another good way to “sh a cut like that is with a ”oat. If I know the depth of the cut, I will set my bobber so the bait is about 6 inches o of the bottom and cast to the side of the cut. Again, I leave my bail open to feed line out as the ”oat takes my bait right along the edge or side of the cut. One key dierence is that when IÂm free-lining a bait, I go towards the middle, hoping to bring the “sh out to me because otherwise my line will get tangled in whatever branches or debris might be along the edge. When I use a ”oat, I can see the drift my itÂs taking and can adjust by swinging my rodtip toward or away from any obstructions. If IÂm using lures, IÂll cast upcurrent and try to work the lure as close to the edge of the cut as possible. Fish prefer to hang out close to structure like roots or branches hanging in the water. I think this is from when they were little, being ready to escape a larger predator by running around the branches in a life-ordeath game of ÂRing Around The Rosie.ÂŽ Fishing with the tide is also a useful (really, I guess you could say necessary) thing if youÂre trying to “sh a bridge. Use the tide to get your bait where you need it, keeping in mind that almost every “sh is looking into the tide trying to smell whatÂs out there in front of them. One bridge technique I like to use when the current is stronger is to cast a free-lined bait at the bridge, allowing it be carried up close to a piling. Once the bait is where I want it, I let out another 3 feet of line and place a sliding sinker on the line. It will fall to the bottom, dragging my bait down below the surface. As the tide continues to run, the sinker will work its way closer to my bait. This is the cool part: My bait gets a little closer to the bottom every few minutes, covering the entire water column from top to bottom. It takes a lot of water ”ow to make this work, but it works really well under those conditions. Until you get a feel for them, tides can make “shing here dicult to “gure out. But once you “gure out how to use them to your advantage, youÂll look forward to those days with lots of tidal ”ow „ because those will probably be your best days on the water.Fishin FrankÂs Bait & Tackle is located at 4425-D Tamiami Trail in Charlotte Harbor and at 14531 N.

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 8 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Charlotte Harbor is an estuary. Estuaries are formed where a river meets the sea. In this case, itÂs actually three rivers: The Peace, the Myakka and the Caloosahatchee. The rivers carry fresh water. The Gulf of Mexico is salty seawater. Where they mix, we “nd brackish water. A lot of people assume that ÂbrackishÂŽ means water is polluted or murky or somehow degraded. This isnÂt true at all. Brackish water simply has a salt content less than seawater (about 35 parts per thousand) and more salt than fresh water (about 0.5 ppt). In the brackish range, we have low brackish (up to about 10 ppt) and high brackish (10 to 35 ppt). The mix of species found in a particular area will change as the salt content changes. ThatÂs the simple explanation. The followup question „ Where is the line between fresh, salt and brackish? „ is just a bit tougher to answer. ItÂs a gradient at all times, with fresher water upstream and saltier water as you near the open Gulf. At the height of the dry season, usually in late spring, the Harbor is at its saltiest. If you were to taste a drop of water from the yacht basin at FishermenÂs Village in Punta Gorda (which I absolutely do not recommend), it would be quite salty „ almost as salty as a drop of Gulf water. If you were to return in the rainy season when the rivers are running strongly (letÂs say an average September day), the water would taste salt-free. What this illustrates is that there is no line that can be drawn on a map to separate salt, brackish and fresh waters. It changes depending on how much rain weÂve been having. Normally we see saltier conditions inshore in winter, but not always: The winter of 2015-Â16 was unusually rainy, and the HarborÂs water was mostly fresh all the way to the Gulf passes. Salt and fresh water do not mix easily. When river ”ow is heavy, the fresh water will often ”ow over the top of heavier salt water, forming a freshwater lens. During these conditions, itÂs possible to have fresh water at the surface and nearly full-strength seawater at the bottom. We see that in Charlotte Harbor sometimes when the rivers are running at or near ”ood stage. Because our rivers ”ow though many miles of forested, swampy areas, the water is tinted yellow to brown by the tannins in decaying vegetation. ItÂs the exact same chemicals that color tea or coee. It doesnÂt make the water muddy or murky „ dip up a glassful, and itÂs clear, not cloudy. Brackish water is actually the key to to Charlotte HarborÂs productivity. The rivers carry nutrients from land runo to the nutrient-poor ocean. The Gulf is full of “sh and crustaceans that need places to grow up. Put those together, and you get rich nursery habitat that provides opportunities to many hundreds of species. If the river ”ows were shut o, the water would get a lot clearer „ but much of the Harbor would become a hyper-saline dead backwater within a few years. Sounds like a lousy trade to me. Brackish water is important to all sorts of wildlife, such as this diamondback terrapin. Terrapins are the turtles used in Maryland turtle soup, and also the turtles for which Turtle Bay was named.

Braid or mono? By now, most Southwest Florida anglers are using braided line on at least some of their reels. It makes sense, because braid has multiple advantages. No memory means it doesnÂt form big loops coming o the reelÂs spool. Very little stretch means superior sensitivity, both in working lures and in feeling bites. Smaller diameter means longer casts. But itÂs not perfect. ItÂs tough and strong but has terrible abrasion resistance. (If you donÂt believe that, take a couple feet of 20-pound mono and 50-pound braid. Stretch them taut between your hands and rub them across a sharp piece of metal. Guarantee the braid fails “rst.) The low stretch means you can rip hooks out of soft-mouthed “sh like trout and mackerel. The small diameter means it can bury into line on your spool under heavy drag pressure, especially on conventional reels. And itÂs more visible to “sh. So whatÂs the solution? Use braid when it makes sense, always with a ”uorocarbon or mono“lament leader for shock absorption, lower visibility and abrasion resistance. Use mono when it makes sense, such as for trolling (where a little stretch is a good thing) or with older rods and reels that werenÂt made for braid. adno=50512921 SEAWALLS € BOAT DOCKS € BOAT LIFTS ÂServing the Gulf Coast since 1961ÂŽ Call 941-679-3882 € Englewood www.bennettmarineconstruction.com FREE ESTIMATES License # SCC131151676 License # AAA005866

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 12 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing ThereÂs a lot of water to “sh in Southwest Florida, and most of it is going to be really hard to get to without a boat. But having the wrong kind of boat can be just as frustrating as having no boat at all „ maybe even worse, because you can get tantalizing close to where you want to be but not quite reach it. Before you can pick a boat, you have to “gure out what kind of “shing you want to do. The ideal boat would handle 8-foot seas with no problem while also running in 4 inches on the ”ats, but no one has “gured out how to do that. Instead, youÂre going to have to live in the real world with the rest of us and pick your compromises. If youÂre going to be an inshore “sherman, youÂll “nd that a lot of the best action is on the ”ats, so youÂll want a boat that runs skinny. Here, a draft of less than 10 inches is ideal. Most ”ats boat in the 17to 20 foot range, from wellknown makers like Hewes and Action Craft, can accommodate your needs. While there are lots of things you can add to such a boat, some of them just get in the way. Towers, T-tops, Biminis, rocket launcher rod holders „ I donÂt want any of that stu. Strip it down. Less is more. Among the things you will need is a trolling motor. Look for a 24-volt model, because the battery life is much better than with the 12-volt versions. Most of these will have at least 70 to 80 pounds of thrust, which is sucient for most ”ats boats. Remotes can be handy, but itÂs also something else to break. Think about whether you really need one, or if manually operating it might not work just as well. YouÂll probably also want a jackplate to lift the engine and trim tabs to help balance the boat out. The jackplate is most useful when youÂre idling, not when youÂre running, but itÂs very useful on the ”ats. Instead of trimming the engine, which pushes the stern down, the jackplate lifts the whole assembly. That keeps your prop at the correct angle, allowing you to run shallower without cutting the grass. An electric or hydraulic anchor pin can be useful to help hold the boat in one place. But there are low-tech solutions that work about as well and cost a whole lot less. If you have limited upper-body strength, the powered versions are for you. But donÂt feel deprived if you only have one; the guys with twins on the back are mostly just showing o. YouÂre de“nitely going to want a livewell if you do any bait “shing at all. I want one that holds at least 25 gallons so I can temporarily stash a bigger “sh in there if I have to. A round one (or at least rounded corners) keeps your bait healthy better. A big drain and a big pump to keep up are important so you have lots of circulation and the intake or outlet wonÂt get clogged with grass or debris. These boats are too small for “shboxes, so youÂll want a quality cooler. Get a nice one that wonÂt fall apart and will actually keep cold things cold. DonÂt keep buying cheap ones. And a good roto-molded cooler is also sturdy enough to double as a casting platform. You need a way to store tackle. Rod storage under the gunnels is convenient and yet out of the way. If you keep your rods in holders alongside the cockpit, theyÂre in the way when youÂre casting and “ghting “sh. Built-in tackle storage is over-rated and quickly becomes a mess. Carry a tackle bag you can take out at night and organize in the garage. Now, the priorities in an oshore boat are a bit dierent. Out on the open Gulf, draft doesnÂt matter, but size does. Big boats are a lot better in big seas, and a boat 27 to 35 feet long is about right for serious oshore “shermen. IÂd also look for one at least 9 or 10 feet wide. Broad-beamed boats are slower, but “shing out of it will be a lot more comfortable. Many boat in this size range are diesel inboards. You can make an argument for eciency with this setup, but I still like outboards. TheyÂre easier to swap out if thereÂs trouble, theyÂre easier and cheaper to maintain, you donÂt have diesel fumes, and they seem to be faster. You can go with diesel inboards if you really want to, but for this size boat twin or triple outboards beat the inboards up. Take it up to 40 feet, and IÂm a lot more likely to look at inboards. Good electronics are everything to an oshore angler. The best sonar you can aord will make reading the bottom and “nding “sh so much easier. Actually, I recommend getting one a little better than you can aord and eating beans for a few months. DonÂt cheap out on the transducers, either. Radar is also important, so you donÂt die. If you donÂt know how to read the radar, maybe a satellite weather setup would be better. GPS? Yeah, you need it, but save money here to get a better bottom machine, Even a hand-held GPS can work. Still, might as well get a nice one. DonÂt forget the EPIRB (again, so you donÂt die). YouÂll want a livewell 40 gallons or bigger, because itÂs a real shame to make a 60-mile run only to run out of bait. As with the inshore boat, rounded corners and good ”ow are important. A lighting system is also good, since we do quite a bit of oshore after dark. Oshore “shing is mostly meat hunting, and whatÂs the point if you canÂt bring back that meat in pristine condition? ThatÂs why at least one big insulated “shbox is mandatory. By the way, always bring more ice than you think you need.

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com € Page 13 saying, ÂMan, we had way too much ice.ÂŽ YouÂre also going to want a windlass, because no one wants to pull up 300 feet of anchor rode. ItÂs a good workout the “rst time. The second time in the same day, itÂs miserable. The third time, itÂs a death wish. Get the windlass or wish you did. What if you want to do a little oshore and a little inshore? ThatÂs where bay boats come in. TheyÂre made to be all-rounders. But to be able to do both jobs, they canÂt be really good at either. Water less than about 18 inches is o limits, so you might have to wade if you want to go sigh the really skinny stu. And you canÂt go oshore safely if the seas are more than 2 or maybe 3 feet, and since you can only run one engine, you really should stay within sight of land. But if those are acceptable compromises, OK. IÂd look for a boat about 24 feet long. TheyÂre made in sizes from 20 to 27 feet, but the smaller ones are too small to be comfortable oshore, and the bigger ones draw too much water. The 24 is a good compromise: Long enough to have a decent ride in heavy seas, but if you look around you can still “nd models that draft 12 to 14 inches. Since this boat will see use in both inshore and oshore “shing, all the important things in the other two boats I discussed are important here. You need a good livewell, you need rod storage, you need an insulated “shbox, you need the good electronics (although you can forgo the radar since youÂre staying in closer). The powered anchor pin is more or less necessary, since the manual ones are tough to drive in far enough for these heavy boats. And youÂll need a trolling motor, too. IÂd look for a 36v model with a hold-in-place feature. This is great for reef “shing. Use the anchor pin inshore, though; the trolling motor is too loud to just keep running in shallow water. No matter what youÂre getting it for, buy the best boat and gear you can aord. If itÂs a toss-up between a high-end 27-footer or a more budget-minded 35, get the 27. When it comes to boats, you really get what you pay for, and ÂgoodÂŽ and ÂcheapÂŽ just donÂt go together (and if they do, that model is discontinued immediately). No matter what boat you end up, youÂre going to love and there will be days you hate it. Enjoy the adventure.Capt. Josh Greer is a fourth-generation Florida Cracker.

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 14 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing WaterLine “le photoItÂs our job to take care of the resource today, so when the next generation is ready to get out on the water, there will be something left for them. Back in GrandpaÂs day, it was no big deal to go out and load the boat to the gunnels with “sh. There were so many “sh that it was ridiculous to think we could ever catch them all, or even catch enough of them to make any dierence. The potential of the oceans seemed unlimited. Now we know better. With more and more people “shing the same water and targeting the same “sh, weÂve come to understand that we really could catch them all. With some species, we have already come dangerously close. Every “sherman today has to also be a conservationist. That doesnÂt mean you have to be a tree hugger or join PETA. Conservation means that we can harvest, but only at a sustainable rate. ItÂs not enough to merely adhere to bag limits. We must also ensure that our released “sh survive, take care to not overharvest unregulated species such as bait “sh, and minimize the damage that we do to the environment. This is easier when youÂre “shing in your own backyard. After all, if youÂre coming back out tomorrow, you probably donÂt want to look at the beer cans that you left yesterday. So why would you chop up the grass you plan to “sh later? Why would you burn shorelines, spooking “sh away from the areas youÂre hoping theyÂll be? Think about the eects of your actions, and how those eects are multiplied by the thousands of other “shermen out there doing the same things. You donÂt have to make huge changes to the way you “sh and enjoy the water to make more of an eort for conservation. Little things truly do add up. For example, when youÂre catching little trout one after another, use lures with single instead of treble hooks. YouÂre not going to keep the “sh, so why damage them more than necessary? TodayÂs shorts are tomorrowÂs trophies. For that matter, why not mash the barbs down? Many anglers are leery of debarbed hooks, thinking that it will reduce their catch rate. If you have ever experimented with this, you know itÂs not true. The only time you might run into a problem is when youÂre free-lining live baits. In those cases, the barb helps to keep the bait on the hook. The rest of the time, it doesnÂt do a whole lot. As long as you keep the line relatively tight while youÂre reeling in a “sh, the tension will keep the “sh hooked. If you switch to circle hooks, even the bait problem can be avoided. Fish handling is another area where many “shermen could be more cautious. Time out of the water is murder on “sh. Try holding your breath from the moment you pull a “sh out of the water until the moment you put it back. Seconds count, huh? Bait“sh conservation is another issue. In 2014, the whitebait arrived much later than usual. The gnashing of teeth could be heard all over Southwest Florida as “shing guides and average Joe anglers wailed about not being able to “nd bait. Eventually, they showed up „ but imagine if it were like that all the time. Many “shermen, especially guides who rely on using huge numbers of bait“sh as live chum, will tell you that itÂs not possible for us to take too much whitebait with our puny little castnets. But there are a lot of people out there throwing a lot of castnets. You need bait, sure, but all the “sh you want to catch need something to eat the rest of the year, and there need to be enough left to make the next generation of bait“sh. Is it really, truly necessary for you to black out your baitwell? It would be a real shame if we realized too late that we were just as wrong as Grandpa „ it is possible to take too many “sh from the sea.

Popping corks are versatile items that should be in every inshore anglerÂs tackle bag. While most “shermen are aware of their use with shrimp or bait“sh, many people donÂt realize that they can be great with arti“cial lures as well. A “sh-shaped soft or hard plastic bait that sinks can be suspended below a ”oat. ItÂs a technique that really ought to see more use.

Pull the plastic stem out of the styrofoam cork, lay the line in the slit on the cork, and replace the stem, wrapping the line around it a couple times as you do.

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 16 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Shutterstock photoSeagrasses are sometimes killed o by cold weather or abundant fresh water. As long as the rhizomes (roots) remain healthy, they can re-sprout when conditions improve. Being on the water chasing memorable “sh on a daily basis is a dream come true for me. Charlotte Harbor has made so many irreplaceable memories for me already in my young life, and IÂm sure there are more to come. I love my home waters. Charlotte Harbor is a one-of-a-kind place. We are blessed here with some of the greatest inshore “shing that one could ever experience. Our estuary has some of the most pristine grass”ats in the nation and is a prime breeding ground for hundreds upon hundreds of sea-dwelling species. Our seagrass provides a safe haven for their young and is crucial to many billions of creatures, small and large. ItÂs rather surprising to me how many folks get on my boat for a day of “shing the ”ats with little understanding of what grass”ats are or their actual signi“cance. If more folks understood how important this type of habitat is, it would be a good thing for our “shery to say the very least. Grass”ats are almost always found in relatively shallow water. We call these grassy-bottomed areas ”ats because the sandy sea”oor is mostly ”at and featureless. If there were no grass growing there, it would be a sand”at or mud”at. We have those areas as well here, and they are far less productive. Our local grass ”ats tend to be in the depth range of 1 to 4 feet on average, and grow to a maximum depth of about 6 feet. Some grass ”ats grow so shallow that they can actually be exposed during an extremely low tide. Peninsular FloridaÂs grass”ats mainly consist of three types of grass: Shoal grass, manatee grass and turtle grass. Turtle grass is they type most “shermen prefer. Healthy turtle grass grows together thick and has long blades, usually a foot or better in length. This turtle grass is a safe haven and a hiding place for juvenile “sh and crustaceans of many kinds. Although these bait“sh have a place to hide, the ”ats donÂt oer much depth. This means that they can run forward or sideways from predators, but they canÂt really ”ee up or down. These predatory “sh know this, and this in turn makes these areas prime feeding grounds. Prime feeding grounds for the “sh means prime “shing grounds for us. Keep in mind while “shing the ”ats that a lot of these predatory “sh are ambush predators. With no real structure „ just grass and sand „ the predators are focused on the edges where the two meet. They will typically lay on these edges „ potholes, troughs, even prop scars „ and wait for their prey to show itself. If youÂre throwing an arti“cial bait, presenting something rigged weedlessly (with the hook point hidden and unable to snag vegetation) is often a good idea. While focusing on “shing these areas, it is of the utmost importance to be as stealthy as possible on the deck of your boat. The “sh you are in search of canÂt hear you speak, but they have a great sense of vibration. Push poling, drifting or running a trolling motor at a low speed while approaching the “sh is a good idea. Fishing as far as possible from the boat is also a good tactic, which is why long-casting rods and reels are so important for ”ats “shing. If you care about “shing here, or even if you donÂt, please do your best to protect our seagrass from propeller damage. This grass is not like the grass outside our houses. Cut it, and it can take years to regrow. Some boats are made for “shing shallow water, but most are not. If your boat needs 2 feet of water to ”oat, it is not made for being on the grass”ats. There is plenty of great open water “shing that can be done in our Harbor outside of the shallows. Know your boat. Know what it can do. If itÂs questionable, anchor in 30 inches of water, jump out and wade “sh. You are also less likely to spook the “sh this way. Even if you have a shallow-draft boat, if you donÂt know an area, please go slow until you understand it. Studying a GPS map before running in an area is a good idea. Google Earth can also be a helpful tool for understanding an areaÂs depth. Healthy seagrass is beyond important to us and our “shery. A lot of us go to great lengths to protect it, because without it Charlotte Harbor would never be the same again. If you are trying to learn and I can help you understand an area, please give me a call and I sure will be happy to do so. I hope you can get out on the ”ats and catch one to remember!Capt.

The sh on the far left is a lizardsh; the other two are squirrelsh. Live bait, no net requiredThrowing a castnet is a valuable skill, but there are many circumstances when a castnet is useless. When youÂre trying to catch bait that wonÂt school up tightly, or in deeper water, a sabiki (suh-BEEK-ee) rig is usually a better choice. A sabiki consists of several small hooks (usually four to eight) tied on short droppers to a main line. ThereÂs a swivel at the top, which you tie to your line, and a snap at the bottom, where you attach a casting sinker. Sabiki hooks come in sizes from tiny (for small-mouthed “sh like whitebait) to just small (good for blue runners). Mid sizes can be used for pin“sh, thread“ns, squirrel“sh and the like. The hooks can be tipped with bits of squid or shrimp, or left bare. Usually, tipped hooks are better for pin“sh, squirrel“sh and other bottom feeders. A sabiki can be dropped straight down near structure (rocks, reef, channel markers, etc.) or cast into a school of bait“sh and retrieved. ThereÂs no need to reel fast; baits stay on better if you reel slowly.

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 18 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Fishing the reefs King mackerel are open-water sh, but theyÂre drawn to the baitsh that are often found over reefs. Drifting or trolling in the general area is usually pretty eective, but sometimes theyÂll surprise you and take a grouper bait sitting right on the bottom. Yellowtail snapper are more likely to swim and hunt in open water than most other snappers (their tail shape is good evidence for this). TheyÂre easily drawn up high in the water column by persistent chumming. Keep at it, and eventually other snapper and grouper will follow them up. Amberjacks like deeper water, so most of the reefs that hold them are in 80 feet of water or more. They generally feed at mid-depths, but they can be tempted to the surface (again, chum). Big live baits work well, but buttery jigs will also give you a workout. For the ultimate sport, try ripping big poppers across the top of the water. Sharks commonly patrol the reefs. Most are smaller than this huge bull shark, but if youÂre looking to ght a big one, many reefs have a ÂbossÂŽ like this one. Barracuda are a top bait choice for them. Cobia will sometimes accompany sharks or rays swimming around a reef, or they might be spotted near the surface in schools or by themselves. They like oating items, so itÂs not uncommon for them to hang out under your anchored boat. Always have a rigged rod handy to toss a shrimp, baitsh or chunk of cutbait to a sighted cobia. Drop a marker on the reef, then motor upcurrent and drop the anchor. Let out rode until youÂre on top of the structure. Red grouper are bottom-huggers by nature. TheyÂre also lazy feeders, so dead baits such as cut sh, squid and chicken drumsticks (no joke) work well. When you get a strike, try to get the sh several feet of the bottom ASAP „ if it dives into the rocks, youÂve probably lost. Flounder are more common on local reefs than many anglers realize. They prefer open sand near rocks or structure, so drag baits around the edges of the reef. Flounder out here are much bigger than inshore, and sh over 5 pounds are fairly common. Snapper often form dense schools on or near the bottom. Chicken rigs (porgy rigs) are a fun way to catch them two or three at a time. Gag grouper are more predatory than reds and will often position themselves slightly above the bottom structure. That means that they will sometimes grab a bait on the way down, so youÂd better be on your toes. As hunters, gags are more readily caught on live baits such as squirrelsh and pinsh. They can also be caught on deep-running lures trolled about 10 feet above the bottom. Barracuda are the most under-appreciated sh on the reef. They put up a spirited ght that often includes beautiful leaps, and theyÂre very good table sh. Yes, thereÂs a risk of ciguatera, but thatÂs true of literally any reef predator. To be safe, release Âcudas over about 15 pounds. Goliath grouper, aka jewsh, are the scourges of many reef anglers. Although their natural diet is slow-moving bottom dwellers like stingrays, toadsh and crabs, they are opportunistic and will attack hooked sh. These ÂtheftsÂŽ make them few friends among shermen. ItÂs more of a problem on heavily shed public reefs, so this is just one more reason to nd your own numbers (see page 4 for some tips on that). Graphic by Josh Olive

Pretty much all saltwater “shing requires a leader of some kind. Even if the “sh donÂt have rough jaws or sharp teeth, thereÂs plenty in their environment to slice or abrade light line. LetÂs take a look at dierent types of leader material and when they should be used. WIRE: A lot of newbies “shing the salt go for the wire right away. Most of the time, all theyÂre doing is chasing away “sh. Wire is extremely visible, especially the bright-“nish stu. That turns o educated “sh, which includes most of the higher-value game“sh you really want to catch. Use wire only when youÂre targeting “sh with cutting teeth (sharks, mackerel, blue“sh and barracuda), and use as short a piece as you can get away with, preferably in a dark color. And quality counts „ those single-crimped Âtourist rigsÂŽ the tackle shops sell are convenient but will fail with big “sh. FLUOROCARBON: Fluoro is tough, easy to tie and far less visible than wire „ in fact, itÂs the least visible leader material available. ThatÂs because the refractive index of ”uorocarbon is very close to the refractive index of water, which means light passes through it at about the same speed. The net result is that, while it looks a lot like mono“lament line in the air, ”uorocarbon line is less visible in water. Smaller diameter ”uoro lines can be almost invisible in the water. Be sure to get line speci“cally meant for leader, as it has an abrasion-resistant “nish. MONOFILAMENT: Mono has most of the advantages of ”uoro, except itÂs much more visible to “sh. In bright light underwater, it looks almost like shiny metal. For circumstances when visibility isnÂt really a factor „ in murky water, at night in unlighted areas, in water more than a couple hundred feet deep „ mono is “ne. Otherwise, ”uorocarbon is the better choice.

Every year is different „ thatÂs just part of th e fun. Like all the Gulf passes, Venice Inlet is a fantastic spot to sh. The jetties here only make it better. Snook lie in wait near the rocks, sheepshead and snapper hunt among the boulders, and mackerel attack pods of bait in the channel. When the king mackerel are running, youÂll nd more sh hanging out over reefs and wrecks. But the biggest sh often cruise within a few hundred feet of the beach. Snook love bridges and creek mouths. Although they may be found almost anywhere, these types of locations are usually hotspots. Pompano feed in the surf, especially near the passes. No need for long casts „ many sh are just a few feet from dry sand. Look for areas of healthy seagrass in Little Sarasota Bay. These areas will hold a lot more redsh and trout than bare sandy or muddy bottom. Some saltwater sh will travel long distances up creeks and rivers. Snook and redsh especially are known to go way up in tiny waterways. Most people think of grouper as oshore sh, but gags will live inshore if they can nd the type of rocky habitat they prefer. Water as shallow as 6 feet is ne with them.

While some microsh make good bait, juvenile gamesh must be released. Looking for a new challenge? While most of us spend loads of time and money looking for big “sh, small ones are all around us. Catching them can be as simple as tying on smaller hooks and cutting baits down to size. Or, you can go all-out with specialized rods, 1-pound line, miniature ”oats and weights, and hooks so small you need powerful magnifying lenses to tie them on. Micro-“shing can be every bit as tough as going after the larger ones. The trick here is not battling them to the boat „ itÂs getting them on the hook at all. On the plus side, small “sh are everywhere, so “nding targets isnÂt hard (unless you get addicted to micro-“shing, because then youÂll start looking for speci“c “sh). Sometime when youÂre having a slow day, give it a shot. You might be surprised how much fun it can be. adno=50512930

ONE MILE N SOUTH VENICE ENGLEWOOD GROVE CITY ALLIGATOR CREEK FORKED CREEK GOTTFRIED CREEK ROCK CREEK OYSTER CREEK BUCK CREEK MYAKKA RIVER BLIND PASS (CLOSED) SKI ALLEY RAG ALLEY During stone crab season, the crab trap oats are tripletail magnets. When you spot one, go back and wait for it to reappear. Toss an unweighted shrimp or whitebait in front of the sh and hang on. Some saltwater sh travel far up the Myakka River, especially in winter. Snook and smaller tarpon can be abundant, and redsh also show up from time to time. Small tarpon in the creeks can be challenging targets. Their main food source is small crustaceans and sh, mostly less than 2 inches long. Such tiny baits and lures are not easy to throw with a spinning rod, so y shermen have an advantage in these areas. Plus, itÂs huge fun to hook into a 10-pound tarpon on a 5-weight rod. The rocks at Caspersen Beach draw ounder, pompano and other predators. You donÂt need huge surf-style rods „ standard inshore gear gets it done. The ICW connects to the north end of Lemon Bay. ThereÂs a lot of boat trac here, so the water is often murky. Find healthy grass and youÂll probably nd trout and reds. This map brought to you by BoatingAndFishing.com Knight/Don Pedro Island is accessible only by boat, so the beaches see less foot trac than others in the area. Therefore, they are excellent for anglers seeking to do a little surf shing. Of course, the hard part is getting there. Stump Pass is a great area to sh from shore, but the walk is a killer. Choose your tackle carefully and pare down to the essentials, or invest in a beach cart. Lemon Bay is becoming more turbid but still has a lot of healthy seagrass at the moment. This supports large numbers of trout and redsh, making Lemon Bay an angling hotspot. The eastern shore of Lemon Bay has several creeks branching o it. The creeks oer great shing if you can get your boat in. Kayaks are good for these smaller waterways. From mid-spring to early fall, pods of tarpon commonly roam from 100 yards to 3 miles o the beaches. If you want to sh them, get in front of them. Chasing them only pushes them away. There are many patches of rocky bottom and ledges in the nearshore Gulf. None are marked, so youÂll have to nd them yourself. Because theyÂre hard to locate, they often hold large numbers of sh, which makes them worth hunting down. When you do nd one, hang on to those lat/long numbers „ theyÂre as good as money in the bank. Cobia are weird sh. They like structure such as reefs, but theyÂre often sighted swimming along the beaches or in open water. TheyÂll take lots of dierent baits, but you have to be ready when they show up „ cobia are constantly on the move.

With her back to the sun and looking down, we canÂt really see the girl or her sh. Face the light, look up, smile „much better. A little thought about the image you want to see will go along way in making great photos you can look back on with pride.How to take a great fishing photoSouthwest Florida is a great place to catch the “sh of a lifetime. We have a huge variety of species here, and trophy catches abound. But in many cases, you canÂt take that “sh home legally, or maybe itÂs not a species you like to eat. Even the “sh you keep are still photo-worthy, so you can remember them as they were, not just as “llets. Your only long-term memento of your “shing adventures (and your only proof of what you caught) will be the photos you take „ so youÂll want to make sure to take some good ones. You donÂt need a professional camera to take decent “shing photos. Some amazing shots are captured using cell phones. Of course, better equipment wonÂt hurt. The best pictures are taken as soon as the “sh is caught. Photos of “sh back at the dock (or worse, in the driveway) are always a little underwhelming. The lifelessness of the “sh really shows through. Take your photos right away if you can. Look at the background. Do you want other boats, mangrove trees, open water, your own cockpit? Any of these can work, but generally less clutter will make a better photo. Light matters. You can take a good pic in full sun or shade, but if the subject is half-shaded the results will be unsatisfactory. Look at the photo after you take it. The human eye can compensate for weird lighting with ease, but a camera canÂt. How you hold the “sh makes a dierence. Holding it vertically, too low or too far away from you is awkward. A horizontal hold relatively high on your body usually looks more natural. Also, the goal is show o your catch, not your “ngers, so try to maximize the amount of the “sh that can be seen. DonÂt be afraid to use your zoom or get closer. A frame-“lling “sh is far more impressive than one you can barely see. And donÂt be afraid of creative angles. They can make even ordinary catches unique and memorable. www.BoatHouseH2o.com OVER 100 NEW BOATSIN STOCK NOWLARGEST HURRICANE DECK BOAT DEALER IN THE WORLD!

PLACIDA BOCA GRANDE O Ca p All th e if o The largest gathering of spawning tarpon in the Atlantic Basin happens every spring in Boca Grande Pass. The Pass is also full of gag grouper and mangrove snapper, but youÂre just as likely to snag the bottom as hook a sh. As tarpon head to the Pass, they cross over the very shallow waters of Johnson Shoals, where they can be sight-shed. Guys who throw ies at them like that sort of thing, so they hang out here. The Placida trestle holds sh of many species. The mainland and island ends are both public shing piers, but the midsection can be reached only by boat. Gasparilla Pass is tricky to navigate „ the north side is shoaling badly. Use caution. Flounder and pompano hang out here. Gasparilla Sound, Bull Bay and Turtle Bay are all shallow and grassy. Island shorelines can be particularly productive areas. Look for areas of deep water right along bushy shorelines. Reds, snook and mangrove snapper love these spots. Tarpon donÂt stay in the passes. They cruise along the beaches to feed, and the bite there is often better. Docks and piers along Gasparilla Island are good places to nd snook and sheepshead. The old phosphate docks and big drums at the south end hold Goliath grouper bigger than you probably want to catch. Pine Island Sound has clear, highly salty water, which is wonderful for seagrass growth. Look for areas of mixed grass and sand, or rocky spots. The shoals here can sneak up on you. Use extra care navigating. Snook get way up into the backcountry, including into water that doesnÂt really seem to connect to the Harbor. It does. ONE MILE N TU R B A BULL BAY PLACIDA HARBOR GASPARILLA PASS CATFISH CREEK BOGGESS HOLE WHIDDEN CREEK CA O RÂS C LIT TL BO KE B PEJUAN COVE Lots of shermen stop at Jug Creek Shoal to net bait, then sh elsewhere.

Fishing is good at both, but o ne isnÂt producing, try the other. Healthy grass in the northern part of Matlacha Pass holds good numbers of redsh, which come here to feed on worms and clams. Hard bottom at Cape Haze Point holds ounder and pompano, and will grind your skeg right o if youÂre not careful. Tarpon and sharks both frequent the deeper holes in the middle of the Harbor during the warmer months. TheyÂre here to scavenge, so dead baits on the bottom work best. The area just south of Two Pines often holds large tarpon early in the season. Later in the summer, not so much. Go gure. The shallow grassats in this area are known for redsh, ounder and trout. The barrier sandbar is patrolled by smaller sharks, pompano and (in summer) cobia. The old Matlacha Bridge used to be a world-famous snook hangout. The replacement bridge has some decent action, but the good old days are gone forever. The spillways along Burnt Store Road have been hot snook spots for many years. The current construction project may alter that. LetÂs hope not.

Spring and fall are the best times of year, and incoming tides are always better.

ONE MILE N In addition to tarpon, juvenile Goliath grouper and young sharks also utilize the rivers. TheyÂre great places to grow up. At El Jobean, the Myakka narrows and ows through a trestle and under two bridges. With so many ambush sites, itÂs no wonder this spot is as popular with sh as it is with shermen. Excellent shing from the trestle or from a boat. DonÂt overlook these short canals when youÂre shing the Myakka. ThereÂs a huge amount of snook habitat in them. The canals of South Gulf Cove are important habitat for many species of saltwater and freshwater sh. Watch out for the alligators, and please donÂt feed them. The canals of Port Charlotte are generally salt south of U.S. 41 and fresh to the north. The freshwat er canals hold bass, bluegill, crappie, catsh and tilapia. Snook and baby tarpon can be found almost anywhere in the system. A A A A A H H TIPPECANOE BAY MUDDY COVE DEERFLY BAY SAM KNIGHT CREEK BIG SLOUGH TROUT CREEK MYAKKA CUTOF F EL JOBEAN SOUTH GULF COVE GULF COVE ROTONDA WEST The Cape Haze peninsula is littered with small ponds. Many of them hold snook and tarpon, living alongside tilapia and Mayan cichlids. You may need a sense of adventure to check some of them out. OYSTER CREEK The west wall is several miles of unbroken mangrove shoreline from Cattle Dock Point to Cape Haze Point. In front of the wall is a broad grassat. During times of strong river ow, the water along the west wall can be nearly fresh and the bite slows. The rest of the time, this is a fantastic area. Snook like the shore; reds and trout often prefer the grass beds. Rotonda West was supposed to be connected to the Gulf, but development plans were never completed. The canals here have snook and small tarpon, but also blue catsh, largemouth bass and a whole bunch of exotics. CORAL CREEK PUNTA GORDA ISLES Many anglers ignore the Peace River, which is dumb. Navigation can be a challenge „ go slow until you know. This area often holds small sharks and has been known to hold an occasional sawsh. The U.S. 41 bridges over the Peace River are a favorite shore-shing spot. As of this writing, itÂs legal to do so from the catwalk. However, be careful to avoid conicts with those walking or running the bridge. Be sure to take your trash back with you, and collect any trash you come across. It only takes a couple bad actors to ruin this spot for everyone „ donÂt be one of them. Alligator Creek is shallow and muddy, but it can be a good place to sh. Most anglers will sh the channel. Focus on the mangroves for better action. The Myakka Cuto is too shallow for bigger boats, but the shing is great. Go slow and proceed with much caution. On a windy day when the Harbor is covered in whitecaps and churned up, the PGI and BSI canal system can be a fantastic place to hide for them wind and get your sh on. If itÂs cold, look in the deeper areas; if itÂs not, cast to docks, parked boats and mangroves. Be aware of the fact that youÂre in someoneÂs backyard and try not to be a jerk. ROCKY CREEK F BURNT STORE ISLES PUNTA GORDA CHARLOTTE HARBOR PORT CHARLOTTE Alligator Creek Reef holds sheepshead and mangrove snapper all winter, mackerel and cobia in spring, gag grouper in fall and Goliath grouper all year. ALLIGATOR CREEK BARGE CANAL PONCE INLET North and east of Charlotte Harbor, youÂll nd hundreds of small creeks, ponds and waterways that hold fresh instead of salt water. Almost all of them hold largemouth bass, and many of the deeper ones also have shable numbers of crappie (speckled perch). There are also bluegill, shellcracker, stumpknockers, tilapia and Mayan cichlids if youÂre inclined toward panshing. Explore in the dry season, because many of the water bodies that appear during heavy rains arenÂt there the rest of the year. Permanent water will have more and bigger sh. This shoreline is shallow and muddy. Fishing here is ƒ OK. WHIDDEN BROOK

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 30 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing WaterLine photo by Josh OliveYou can bet this angler was very happy this hookÂs barb was rolled down to a bump before it got stuck in his face. WhatÂs the barb on a hook for? To ensure the “sh doesnÂt fall o the hook? Well, maybe, but a tight line does the same thing. For “sh that donÂt jump (and thatÂs most of them) a barb isnÂt needed to keep the hook in its mouth. Is it to hold the bait on? Well, maybe, but a bump in the hook does this job just as well most of the time. If youÂre free-lining a strongly swimming bait such as a pin“sh, this argument makes sense, but most of the time it doesnÂt. So do you need a barb? Unless youÂre targeting jumping species or using frisky live bait“sh, no. It makes good sense to smash down or “le o hook barbs when possible. Usually, itÂs a two-second job with a pair of pliers. Most “sh have to be released (undersize, oversize, out of season, not edible, etc.), and barbless hooks make this easier with less injury to the “sh. If you ever get a hook stuck in you, youÂll quickly see the value of removing the barb. ItÂs a good idea with any hook, but if youÂre “shing treble-hooked lures with the barbs still intact, youÂre a braver man than I.

BoatingAndFishing.com € Page 32 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing ÂI never see tailing redfishÂSo maybe youÂve heard other “shermen talk about tailing red“sh, but in all your time on Charlotte Harbor, youÂve never seen them. You might even be starting to think tailing reds are a myth „ just another “sh story. Nope. TheyÂre real. And if youÂre not seeing them, there are simple reasons. YOUÂRE NOT SHALLOW ENOUGH: Red“sh donÂt stick their tails in the air for fun. ItÂs a byproduct of the way they feed, with their snouts grubbing around the in the sand or mud. Unless the water is pretty shallow „ less than about 2 feet „ their tails donÂt stick up above the surface. ThatÂs skinnier water than most anglers are comfortable “shing, and if youÂre not there to see them, then you might think theyÂre imaginary. YOUÂRE NOT STEALTHY ENOUGH: Tailing red“sh are vulnerable, and they know it. When theyÂre in such shallow water, there are few places to escape a predator. Ospreys and eagles are an ever-present danger, especially to younger “sh, and dolphins and sharks will sometimes venture into shallower areas than you might think. So if you want to get close to these “sh, you have to be quiet. If they realize youÂre there, theyÂll bolt. Ideally, that means being on foot. A wading angler is much quieter than any boat or even a kayak. Sometimes you can literally wade close enough to touch them with your “shing rod. YOU NEED TO LOOK HARDER: Sometimes the whole tail “n and part of the body is out of the water, but normally itÂs just the upper corner of the “n. From a distance, a school of tailing red“sh often looks like a gathering of tiny sharks. It takes a sharp eye to spot them from more than casting distance away. If and when you “nd tailing reds, “shing them can be frustrating. Watch them to see which way theyÂre going and cast your bait in front of the school. As they get closer, try to position your bait so a “sh on the edge of the school will “nd it (so the whole school wonÂt panic). TheyÂre nose-down, so something with smell „ cut mullet, stinky dead shrimp, half a whitebait, even a scented soft plastic lure „ will work best.

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 34 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Shutterstock photoTarpon are one of the top sport“shing targets here in Southwest Florida. Every year, tens of thousands of anglers from around the area and around the world spend millions of dollars and countless hours pursuing the silver kings. If you havenÂt had the opportunity to take one on yet, I hope this is your year. If you have fought one, IÂm sure youÂre looking forward to another chance, so letÂs take a look at what it takes to win those epic battles. WeÂll start by building my perfect rig. Now, mine may not be perfect for you, but IÂll give you some options that will help you build one that is. I start with a 7.5-foot Reaper 20-40 pound line class rod with the Micro-Wave guides. I use this rod because it has the ability to outcast most 8-foot rods on the market, and it doesnÂt have to bend as far to get to the beef of the rod. That means I get a faster hookset and more control over the “sh too. The 8-foot Daiwa Saltist, Star Stellar Lite, Penn Battalion and Shimano Teramar rods in about the same line class range are also great tried and true tarpon gear at a little less of a cost to you. Attached to my Reapers are 5000 and 6000 series Daiwa Saltist reels, spooled with 50or 65-pound braid. I use the 5000s and 50-pound for my more advanced anglers and my 6000s with 65 for folks new to big game “shing, because it gives them a little more leeway for angler errors. Other great reels in these sizes include the Penn Slammer and Clash and the Okuma Azores. While youÂre reel shopping, youÂll notice a few reels of the same size but with much lower prices. IÂm not going to tell you not to buy one of them, but IÂll say this: When purchasing a reel to target “sh that can easily weigh 150 pounds, donÂt get cheap, because when it comes to reels you truly get what you pay for. Now letÂs set up your rod and reel combo with line, leader and hook so you can actually catch something. There are a bunch of dierent manufacturers who make braided lines, and they all make them in a bunch of dierent colors. IÂm a Power-Pro guy myself, and I like yellow line because thatÂs the color I see best „ but donÂt go by what I like. If you see red or blue or camo colors better, then use those colors in whatever brand you like. The most important thing when it comes to line is using the appropriate size for the “sh youÂre after. When tarpon “shing, I recommend to never go lower than 50-pound line. The name of the game here is to land your tarpon in 20 minutes or less to ensure the health of that “sh. For leader, I recommend 60-pound ”uorocarbon most of the time. If the water is a bit muddied up, IÂll go to an 80-pound ”uorocarbon leader to give myself some extra pulling power. As far as what brand of ”uorocarbon leader to use, thatÂs up to you. Seaguar, Berkley, P-line and Yo-Zuri all make great leader line. Hook selection can be a nightmare. I like 7/0 Owner J-hooks and 7/0 Gamakatsu circle hooks myself, but a lot of my guide buddies use the Daiichi and VMC hooks in the 6/0 to 8/0 sizes. Try out a few dierent ones to see what works best for you. A word to the wise: A cheap hook will destroy a dream. I also use the TÂs Tackle quarter-ounce jigheads. I know they seem more appropriate for catch trout or red“sh, but trust me „ weÂve put them to the test. You should replace that jighead after one tarpon, though. Here is a list of baits for you to choose from. Try them all, because when it comes to tarpon you never know what theyÂll want to eat from one minute to the next. For the live bait guys, pick from shrimp, pin“sh, thread“ns, greenbacks, bunker, squirrel“sh (sand perch), “nger mullet, leatherjackets, cigar minnows, butter“sh, blue crabs, pass crabs and cat“sh tails. If you want to throw arti“cials, tarpon like DOA CAL shad, DOA Bait Busters, MirrOlure 17MRs, Rapala, X-Raps, Zara Spooks and halfounce silver spoons. This list of baits should get you through at least the “rst month of tarpon season. When you “nd a tarpon school, the biggest thing to remember is to stay out in front of them. If you “nd yourself tossing your baits at their tails, stop and move slowly (and as quietly as you can) back in front of the school, then start “shing again. A tarponÂs food does not swim after the tarpon, it tries to get away. Try to present your baits about 15 yards in front of the “sh so that they swim into your bait. If youÂre tossing your baits on their heads, they know something is wrong and they wonÂt eat it. If youÂre behind them, theyÂll spook because they think youÂre a shark getting ready to attack. Patience pays when tarpon “shing. Relax and use the common sense the good Lord gave you, and I promise youÂll hook up to one of these majestic silver kings. Eventually. Whether it stays hooked is a dierent story. The information IÂve presented here is just the basics. ThereÂs a lot more to know about tarpon “shing. The best way to keep track of where the tarpon are and what theyÂre doing is to talk to the guys at your local tackle shop, read WaterLine every week and listen to Radio WaterLine on KIX Country 92.9 FM Saturday mornings from 7 to 9. Or you can just be on the water “shing for them 24/7 „ whichever is more convenient for you. Tight lines.Capt.

What about the jigheads? The swimbaits? The hard plastics? Most of these contain at least some lead, which is a cheap and eective way to add weight to balance a lure or cause it to sink. We all know lead is not good for you. ItÂs a neurotoxin. It drove the Romans bonkers and you probably remember the kid who used to eat paint chips (maybe you are the kid who used to eat paint chips). But too often we treat it casually. DonÂt bite your splitshot sinkers closed. DonÂt hold a jighead in your mouth. If you get lead dust on your hands from a sinker, at least rinse and wipe it o. WeÂre all using lead. Periodically, there are attempts to ban its use in “shing tackle. One of these days, that will probably happen and weÂll have to use steel (less dense and rusts), copper (much more expensive), bismuth (brittle) or tungsten (even more expensive than copper). Until then, itÂs a good plan to have an assortment of sinkers and jigheads of varying sizes. When the current gets stronger, you need more weight to reach the bottom. When it slacks up a bit, you need to lighten up a bit. YouÂll “nd all sorts of shapes, each for a speci“c purpose. For general use, itÂs hard to beat a pinch-on splitshot. If you need more weight, egg sinkers are very popular. Pyramid and Sputnik sinkers will hold a bait on the bottom in fairly strong current, if thatÂs what you want to do. Trying to give up lead? There are alternatives. All the metal listed above are already being made into sinkers. Want to go cheaper? Find a rock with a hole in it. TheyÂll laugh at you, but itÂll work, and you might have a camou”age advantage as well. adno=50511286 KidÂs Fishing Derby April 22, 2017 www.jubileeinthepark.com

BY CAPT. CAYLE WILLS Photo providedRod holders can be used for more than just transport. ThereÂs a big ol grouper on the other end of this line.WhoÂ’s holding that fishing rod?Have you ever met Mr. Rod Holder? HeÂs one of the best “shermen out there. In fact, itÂs not uncommon for him to hook more “sh than anyone else on the boat. ThatÂs mostly because he doesnÂt jerk the rod and pull the bait right out of a “shÂs mouth. Often, the most productive way to catch “sh with natural bait is to let them eat it „ really eat it, including the swallowing part. With inline circle hooks, this method can be used even for “sh that are going to be released, since an inline circle hook rarely if ever hooks “sh deep (these hooks might also be labeled ÂtournamentÂŽ or Ânon-osetÂŽ). If youÂre having trouble hooking snapper and grouper on the reefs, or trout and reds on the ”ats, stick the rod in the rod holder. When you get a strike, donÂt grab the rod „ just reel, at least until you have the “sh well and truly hooked.

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com € Page 37 One of the things that we “shermen need to pay more attention to is how we release our “sh. ItÂs not something we think about very often, and usually not until itÂs too late. But ensuring that we release the “sh we donÂt want in a safe and healthy manner is one of the keys of a good, sustainable “shery, especially considering we target a lot of our “sh during their breeding seasons. I am going to get a little ornery, because I see some of the wrong ways to handle “sh on a daily basis. Many of them are demonstrated by people who have been “shing way longer than I have and who should know better at this point. The “rst thing I want to touch on is a “shÂs slime coat. His slime is his “rst defense against infection, disease and parasites. So we want to leave as much slime on the “sh as possible. A de-slimed “sh is akin to us walking around without our skin, which is our “rst line of defense. It wonÂt take long for that “sh to be invaded with parasites or catch a fatal disease or infection. Some “sh, like seatrout, are very susceptible to dying from lack of slime. I understand “sh slime is goopy and gross. But for GodÂs sake, weÂre not 8 years old anymore, so put the rags and gloves away. That is the worst thing you can handle a “sh with. A dry rag or dry glove just sucks the slime o a “sh. That “sh may swim away healthy but I can guarantee you that it will more than likely die or at least get sick. With the advent of “sh grippers ranging from $15 to $200, there is no reason to handle “sh like this any more except out of laziness and being cheap. For years, we have advised that if people must handle “sh with a rag or glove, to wet it “rst. It does help, but it will still strip o slime. So IÂm not a fan of a wet glove or rag either. Just wet your hands and pick up that “sh. While weÂre throwing that towel or glove away, how about you dig that ga out of your boat and throw it away too? With many of our “sh having slot limits, using a ga is just asking for trouble. As soon as you sink a ga into a “sh, you have legally taken possession of that “sh. Even worse, youÂre poking holes in “sh that werenÂt there before. Now, can you tell the dierence between a 26.5-inch red“sh and a 27.25inch red“sh? No, you canÂt. Gas just donÂt go hand in hand with preservation of “sh. A good quality landing net will go farther in safely landing and releasing a “sh than just about anything. Most nets are sucient, but I prefer rubber mesh nets. They donÂt remove as much slime as a rope or string-type net, and as a bonus they usually donÂt grab treble hooks. If youÂve done a lot of lure “shing, youÂve accidentally killed “sh simply because it took too long to get the hooks out of the net so you could get them out of the “sh. I know I have. Rubber nets help alleviate that problem. Quick hook removal is key. We donÂt want to keep the “sh out of the water longer than we have to. Go take a run around your house, then stop and hold your breath for as long as you can. ThatÂs about how much time you have before you start to risk losing that “sh. ItÂs not very long. If you have to put him back in the water to let him recover a little, then do so. Sometimes, no matter how good your intentions are, you just take too long. When that happens, you need to let that “sh recover. You may have to hold him over the side of the boat and revive him. IÂve found that the best way is to grab that bottom lip carefully and set him in the water. Gently move him in a “gure-8 pattern. Running him back and forth isnÂt accomplishing anything; he needs to move forward so water ”ows over the gills. I will usually do a few “gure-8s and then pause and see if I can feel him starting to swim away. You may feel the body undulate in your hand, but thatÂs not usually good enough. You want to feel him trying to get away. Now with some bigger “sh, this isnÂt easy. Tarpon come to mind. With a tarpon, you may need to actually idle the boat slowly forward. I like to have the driver turn sharply towards the side of the boat the tarpon is on. This should keep him away from the prop if he gets away before you are “nished. Also, keep a lookout for sharks. Believe me, they can come out of nowhere to eat a tarpon that you have your hand stuck into. Speaking of sharks, reviving them is tough „ some species more than others. Blacktips are pretty resilient when it comes to revival. However, hammerheads run about 50/50 whether they survive, even with your best eorts. Sharks are tough to revive because you canÂt grab them by the lower lip like a snook or tarpon and drag them. Remember that ga you just threw away a few paragraphs ago? Go dig it out of the garbage can. Get yourself a big Styrofoam bobber and some electrical tape. Stick the point of the ga into the bobber, then wrap a liberal coating of electrical tape on the bobber and ga to hold them together. Now you can stick that into the corner of the sharkÂs mouth so you have something to control it with, without poking any extra holes in the shark or him poking extra holes in you. If you can avoid it, try not to hang “sh by their lower lip only. If you ÂlipÂŽ a “sh, try to support the belly of that “sh at the same time. Some “sh can die by hanging them by their lip only. Snook can tear delicate tissues in the throat area and starve to death after being dangled by the lip, even though they swim away strong. And when it comes to big “sh, try not to let them bang against the boat or you. It can injure you both. Remember that some “sh, such as tarpon over 40 inches and Goliath grouper, canÂt be removed from the water. Removing “sh from the water can rearrange their internal organs, so the scientists say. While youÂll have a hard time convincing me that holding a “sh that jumps completely out of the water on its own will damage it, thatÂs the law, so try to follow it. Proper tackle and knowing how to use it goes a long way in releasing a “sh on the healthy side. Getting the “sh to the boat in a short amount of time is paramount to proper recovery, so choose the size of your rod, reel, line and leader appropriately. And that clicky knob on the top of your reel? ThatÂs your drag knob. You use it to tighten your drag. A loose drag can cause a few problems. Either you end up “ghting the “sh to the point of unrecoverable exhaustion, or he makes a long run and cuts you o on something and ends up with 50 yards of line dragging behind him and a hook in his lip. Now, the hook isnÂt that big of a deal, but that line sure is. If that line gets caught in something, then that “sh canÂt protect himself and gets eaten. The chances of a “sh starving to death are slim „ that hook should rot out before that happens „ but todayÂs braided lines will hold that “sh in place for some time. With more and more people “shing our waters every year, itÂs becoming increasingly important for the “sh we release to survive. Otherwise, weÂll have nothing to catch. So letÂs each do our part to ensure as many of our “sh live as possible. It will be better for the “sh and for all of us.Capt. Cayle Wills owns and operates Bad Fish Charters on Charlotte Harbor.

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 39 Shutterstock photoA big red grouper at the side of the boat is a beautiful thing. BY CAPT. VAN HUBBARDGrouper mysteries A lot of newer “shermen here seem to have the misconception that grouper are 1) abundant and 2) easy to catch. While I can understand how that happened „ grouper sandwiches seem to be on every menu „ the truth is that going out and digging your own is not so simple. However, there are grouper to catch in the Gulf. LetÂs look at how you can be successful in bringing a few home. YouÂll need gear capable of handling strong “sh. Red grouper have to be 20 inches long and gags must be 24 inches when in season. These are strong “sh and determined to stay on the bottom. Larger ones can take you to your knees in shallow waters. On the other hand, we frequently land nice grouper while snapper “shing with 20-pound spinning gear (yes, we also lose some). I have noticed in recent years that the heavy 60-and 80-pound gear that was once standard does not produce bites for us anymore. So now we need to decide whether we want to get bites or manhandle whatever we do hook. As usual, we have to compromise somehow, because you canÂt catch “sh if you donÂt get bites. Before you can catch grouper, you must “nd them. Not every reef is teeming with them. Most nearshore public reefs will produce only undersize “sh. YouÂll need better numbers than that to go out and catch a grouper dinner. This does not mean go riding around until you watch someone catch a big “sh then drive over to steal their spot. If you steal numbers, youÂd better hope you donÂt break down „ that captain is not likely to oer much help! If you want good spots, take the time to “nd your own. Study the charts, do some homework, and use those Navionics chips in your sounder to locate bottom structures, ledges, and hard bottom areas. When you discover such areas, “sh around to learn that area well before you charge o in search of other “sh. Most of the time there are other good spots close by. Trolling around the area allows us to look and “sh at the same time. Use stout gear and deep diving plugs to reach bottom “sh in their home turf. When you hook up with a gag, immediately return and make careful observations to zoom in on the habitat it came from. Remember the lure was astern of your position. Carry a marker buoy you can toss to help you return to any structures you pass over; smaller spots are dicult to relocate. The harder it is to “nd, the better the “shing usually is because other anglers donÂt work it. Expect to invest some time and money to learn your way around out here. If it were easy, everyone would be an expert! After you work at it and discover some productive spots, you will become protective of them just like we are protective of ours. No one owns the waters, but stealing numbers is proprietary theft and simply wrong. It may seem harmless to a novice, but itÂs often someoneÂs livelihood you are stealing. How you rig your hooks, leaders and weights can make or break your trip. Always use the minimum for the application at hand. Heavy gear will work if you are way out in very deep waters for the big ones. In less than 100 feet of water, I do well on medium and lighter gear. If you need 8 ounces of lead to reach bottom, youÂll also need a heavy rod, strong reel and 60to 80-pound line. A 40to 50-pound class rig will catch decent grouper, especially the reds, with no problem and also get you some tasty snapper. Lighter gear will land impressive “sh if you donÂt horse them and make Âem mad. IÂve landed cobia up to 80 pounds on 20-pound spinning gear. A mix covers all the bases, but note how many big “sh bite on the lighter gear. I like braided lines with long ”uorocarbon leaders, and we are required to use inline circle hooks for all reef “sh. Live, dead natural baits or lures can all be used for grouper; what should you try? Some days one out“shes the others, so having a variety helps your odds. I usually carry frozen minnows, squid, live shrimp and pin“sh. Lures are handy too, and not just trolling lures but also butter”y jigs. These are ”at-surfaced and ”utter when sharply pulled up and allowed to drop back down. There are many variations available and they catch plenty of grouper (as well as AJs for you macho types). Use larger lures for deeper water and bigger “sh, or smaller ones if you want to entice snapper also. I “nd that starting out with some lighter rigs stimulates the bite. Try one rig for the big ones “rst in case they are hungry, but smaller “sh activity often turns on even stubborn “sh. Use various weights and baits, and concentrate your eorts on whatever works. Experience the joy of building your con“dence to locate your own “shing spots and sharing the “shing experience with others. Any moron can steal a spot; you must actually work to gain experience. Experience lasts forever, stolen spots donÂt. Oshore “shing encourages us to work together for results and safety. ItÂs not wise to aggravate the boater you may need to help you in a bind!

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 41 TarponSnook.com photoAlthough a good guide can be helpful for catching trout and redsh, expert help can be almost necessary with sh like tarpon and large sharks. Hiring a good guide With so many great “shing opportunities in the area, itÂs not surprising that Southwest Florida is home to hundreds and hundreds of “shing guides. Sometimes at the boat ramp or bait shop, you canÂt swing a dead cat without hitting three or four of them. But just like in any highly specialized occupation, all guides are not equal. Some are consummate professionals who go to great lengths to ensure their customers will have an enjoyable and memorable trip. Others „ well, others arenÂt. Even among the good ones, youÂll have a better time with some than you will with others. And thatÂs why being picky is important. DonÂt choose one guide based solely on advertising, word of mouth or reputation. Instead, use those criteria to pick several. Call them all and talk to them all, then choose one based on how well your personalities mesh. YouÂre gonna be stuck on the boat with this guy (or gal) for hours. If heÂs a joker and youÂre Mr. Serious, itÂs not gonna be a good day. The key is to be patient and selective. And wait for all those phone calls to come back. ItÂs not wise to just book the “rst one returning your call „ it might be because heÂs not very popular and could get to the call quicker, while the other guys were too busy catching “sh to get back to you right away. DonÂt hire a guide based on the lowest price. A cheap guide is rarely good, and a good guide is rarely cheap. Most professional guides are going to be in the same ballpark. Expect to spend about $350 to $400 for four hours (half-day) and $550 to $600 for six to seven hours (full-day). If his prices are signi“cantly lower, why? Be aware that you should expect a premium for specialty services, such as tarpon, big sharks or oshore “shing. Be sure your captain is licensed, especially if you decide to go with a budget guide. Ask to see a license and TWIC card. Unlicensed charters are illegal and usually just a way for someone to take advantage of an unwary tourist. Your “shing license should be included in the cost, since real “shing guides buy a boat license that covers anyone “shing. If thereÂs a speci“c target you have in mind, talk to your prospective guides. Better yet, talk to the sta at a local tackle shop “rst. They know what their guides specialties are and can often narrow down your list. If you want to catch a big shark or a whole bunch of red“sh, those are specialized skills that not every guide can accommodate. Not all “sh are available at all times. Big tarpon in winter? King“sh in the dead of summer? Possible, but not likely. Have realistic expectations. If youÂre tarpon “shing, jumping six and landing two is an awesome day. But if you expect to jump 30 and land every one, youÂre going to think itÂs a bad day. When youÂre talking with your guide about what you want to do (ahead of time, not as youÂre boarding the boat), take his advice if he oers any. If he suggests the morning bite will be better for a particular “sh that you want to catch, schedule for morning if you can. If you book an afternoon trip, give him a little leeway in your expectations. Take his advice on the day of the trip as well. If the plan was to go for snook but he says thereÂs a huge school of red“sh, maybe the school of red“sh would be a good plan. However, if youÂd rather catch a few snook than 50 reds, donÂt be afraid to speak up. After all, itÂs your trip. DonÂt tell your guide about how some other captain took you to such-and-such spot and caught whatever. Every guide has his own preferred places to “sh and methods of doing things. Maybe itÂs better, maybe itÂs worse, maybe itÂs a wash. But if you can learn a little for each of them, you can become a much better angler quickly. Besides, if Capt. Whatshisname was such hot stu, why arenÂt you “shing with him? Fishing guides live and die by their reputations. If your captain does a great job for you and goes above and beyond for you, by all means you should show your appreciation with an appropriate tip (15 to 25 percent is about right) „ but also by telling others. Let the tackle shop guys know. Tell your buddies so they can consider hiring him when they come down. Post it on Facebook and Trip Advisor. A guided “shing trip can be an amazing experience if you make a wise (or lucky) choice in who you go with. It can also be a lousy, overpriced boat ride. Pre-planning will go along way toward ensuring you have the trip of a lifetime.Robert Lugiewicz is the manager of Fishin FrankÂs Bait & Tackle, located at 4425-D Tamiami Trail in Charlotte Harbor and at 14531 N.

In shallow water (less than 50 feet), youÂll be mostly shing for snapper, porgies and grunts. Get started on the reefsReef “shing in Gulf waters o Southwest FloridaÂs coast is tremendously popular, and itÂs a great way to put “sh in the skillet. To tap into this “shery, youÂll need a boat capable of handling at least modest seas, equipped with electronics which allow you establish your position and to look at the sea”oor beneath the boat. YouÂll also need to understand a little bit about the what, where, why and how of “nding and catching our grouper, snapper and other reef “sh. The “rst thing to know about reef “shing in Southwest Florida is that there are no natural reefs here, at least not in the form of tall, expansive tracts of stony corals. The Âhard bottomÂŽ or ÂrocksÂŽ that youÂve heard mentioned in oshore “shing discussions are usually relatively ”at sheets of limestone rock that sport a crop of sponges, sea fans, small coral colonies and other marine growth. The most productive areas are usually pockmarked with round holes which are perfect hiding spots for grouper, and sometimes this type of habitat is called ÂSwiss cheese bottom.ÂŽ There are some rock ledges which may be as much as three or four feet in height (though most are much lower), but there is very little natural structure in this area that has much vertical relief. However, there is a number of large manmade reefs, most of which are comprised of some combination of concrete rubble, sewer pipes, concrete power poles, old barges, sunken boats or other suitably heavy and long-lasting materials. Dierent types of oshore structure attract dierent species of “sh. The arti“cial reefs (and a few sunken wrecks) generally include much taller structure than most of the natural rocky areas, so as a result they tend to attract dierent species of “sh. For example, cobia, barracuda, permit and amberjack tend to be caught over these manmade structures far more often than theyÂre caught over natural structure. Mangrove and yellowtail snapper stack up on these locations too, as do Goliath grouper and a few gags, though the best grouper “shing is almost always found on natural rocky bottom. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, rocky bottom is in somewhat short supply in the Gulf. The vast majority of the bottom is featureless sand, which holds very few reef “sh. The good news is that since the rocky outcrops are relatively scarce, they almost always attract “sh in much the same way that an oasis in the desert attracts all sorts of creatures. Successful oshore bottom “shing begins with locating these areas of rocky bottom, which is why itÂs critically important that oshore anglers are equipped with, and understand how to interpret, bottomsounding electronics. Those areas of ”at limestone rock are a little tricky to spot on a depth sounder, but once theyÂre located they are great spots to catch lane and vermilion snapper, red grouper, grunts and porgies. If you can “nd a small rock ledge, even if itÂs only a foot or so in height, youÂll be more likely to “nd mangrove snapper and gags, both of which tend to cluster around those ledges. If conditions are calm and the rocky area is fairly large, itÂs possible to drift “sh. Sometimes this is the best way to pick up “sh that are scattered over a wide area. Usually, though, youÂll be anchoring your boat. If you are, you need to be aware that boat positioning can be critical. If youÂre “shing a wreck, an arti“cial reef or a natural ledge, being 20 feet o can mean the dierence between great “shing and getting skunked. Some anglers mark the target spot on their GPS screen and anchor back to that electronic mark, but IÂve found I have better luck getting situated by dropping an old-fashioned marker buoy on my spot and using that as a visual reference when maneuvering upwind to drop the anchor. Most of the reef “sh action is on the bottom, so itÂs important that your tackle include enough weight to get your bait to the sea”oor. The amount of weight needed will depend on water depth, the strength of any current which might be running, the size of the bait and the size of your “shing line. Carry an assortment of sinkers in the oneto eight-ounce range and youÂll be covered. Most of the anglers in this area do their bottom “shing with live or dead natural bait, though some will use jigs. Be sure that if youÂre using live bait or dead natural bait that you use only inline (also labeled non-oset or tournament) circle hooks, as this is a legal requirement in both state and federal waters of the Gulf when harvesting reef “sh species. Red grouper, lane snapper, grunts and porgies are not particularly wary “sh and can usually be caught on relatively heavy tackle, and they often take dead or cut baits including shrimp, squid or sardines. Gags and mangrove snapper are more cagey. Gags will take the same dead baits listed above, but there are many days when it is necessary to “sh live baits such as pin“sh or squirrel“sh (sand perch) to get them to eat. Mangrove snapper can be suicidally intent on gobbling dead baits on heavy tackle on some days, but frustratingly “nicky on other days. If youÂre there on one of their “nicky days, youÂll need to go down (sometimes way down) on hook and leader sizes until you start getting bites. Chumming with free-falling bits of cut bait is a good way to get them started. Chop it small „ you want to rouse their appetites, not feed them. As a general “shing rule, light tackle is more fun for the angler than heavy tackle, and this is true of reef “shing in the Gulf. But light tackle means dierent things in dierent “sheries. Take your favorite trout rod oshore and youÂll be amazed at the “ght you get from a modest-sized grunt, porgy or snapper. But if you hook a decent grouper „ say a barely legal 4or 5-pounder „ youÂll have little chance of landing that “sh before he “nds a ledge or hole in which to dive. Most oshore bottom “shermen think 20-pound class tackle is very light, and the majority start at 30 or more. Many guys who target grouper are “shing 50or 80-pound class tackle, even for “sh under 10 pounds. This is because you need to be able to snub those “sh up short as soon as you hook them, or you will likely lose them to the rocks. You will not hear much in the way of screaming drags on most grouper expeditions. LetÂs go “shing!Capt.

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 43 Photo providedSpanish mackerel are a favorite seasonal catch when theyÂre here in spring and fall. Seasons in the sunAs we all know, there are four seasons here on Earth: Summer, winter, spring and fall. Now here in Southwest Florida, it kind of feels like a northern summer most of the year. But there are subtle little temperature changes we feel about every three months, and those really are the changing of the seasons. Humans can sometimes have a hard time noticing these atmospheric changes, but our “sh sure do feel them. Fish can detect even the slightest change in atmospheric pressure because their lives depend on it. Fish feed heavy when they feel a drop in the atmospheric pressure (right before a storm) because they know itÂs often hard to “nd food in murky water and it might be a few days before they can eat again. The pressure changes before a storm or weather front are abrupt, as opposed to the changes between seasons which happen much more slowly, allowing the “sh to get ready for a migration north or south depending upon which season is coming. Knowing when the season changes are going to happen is more critical to the longterm success of “sh than knowing when a storm is coming. A storm might make it hard for them to “nd food for a few days, but that wonÂt normally kill them. Fish do best in a certain temperature and salinity range. Water thatÂs too cold or too fresh can be harmful, even fatal. Even species that can tolerate a wide range of conditions may need a more speci“c environment to reproduce. The following is a season-by-season insight as to what to target throughout the year. LetÂs start with spring, because thatÂs my favorite season. The best thing about spring, and the reason so many of us look forward to it, is that the “sh are hungry after poor winter rations. On any given day, the bite can truly be incredible. As the water starts to warm, dierent species of “sh will start to move into our area, while the species that have been here all winter will start to migrate out. Sheepshead and trout will start to move oshore to deeper water, seeking more comfortable temperatures. Yes, trout are here year-round, but a very large portion of trout are migratory, which is why they are so much more abundant in the winter months. While these “sh and a few others are taking o „ to where, only God knows „ other species, like tarpon and Spanish and king mackerel, are invading our area following the bait schools that all but vanish over the winter months. Other “sh to look forward to catching in the spring are snook, red“sh, black“n tuna, little tunny (bonito), permit, pompano and sharks. The vast majority of these “sh have either been down south or way up in the rivers over the winter and are just now coming back into our coastal waters. Spring is short here and quickly gives way to my favorite season, summer. The summer is a great time to target snook, red“sh, barracuda, sharks and tarpon. Due to the extreme heat and frequent afternoon storms, your “shing should be done early in the morning or toward evening. Think of how you feel in the heat of a 98-degree summer day with the sun beating down on you relentlessly. Makes you feel tired and miserable, right? Well, thatÂs how the “sh feel also. Fish early or “sh late when you and the “sh are the most comfortable, and leave the middle of those dog days of summer for siestas. You may have noticed I did not mention the mackerel and tunas as summertime catches. ThatÂs because they are up around Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle during this time of year, where the water stays quite a bit cooler. Smart “sh, huh? Although the summer is long, it canÂt last forever. Eventually, fall „ which is my favorite season „ rolls around. The water temps start to cool o to more reasonable levels, and the “shing again becomes a little faster-paced. Fall and spring “shing are a lot alike, though spring action is usually a little better. The mackerel and tuna start to come back from their summer hunts and the red“sh, snook, sharks and tarpon are fattening themselves up so that the upcoming winter wonÂt be so harsh on them. The oshore grouper, snapper and amberjack bite is great in the fall also, and we see more tripletail and cobia to boot. The weather can be a bit tricky in fall as fronts start to push through, but pick your days right (just ahead of the front is good; just behind, not so good) and you never know what you might catch on any given cast. As the water temperature drops down into the upper 60s, our winter pattern sets in. While winter is my least favorite “shing season, there are still opportunities to catch lots of “sh. Trout and ”ounder action picks up in the estuaries and sheepshead and snapper are abundant on the reefs and wrecks. In most years, the sheepshead also make a good showing around inshore docks, piers and bridges. Fish that are looking for warmer water move up the rivers and often into the canals of Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte and Cape Coral. Fish lures slowly, and shrimp are a “shermanÂs best friend this time of year. All of the “sh mentioned above can be found in our area year-round, but they can be found in much greater numbers and are more willing to take a hook during their preferred seasons. Also, remember that here in the subtropics the weather is unpredictable. Fall might last until January, regardless of what the calendar on the wall says, and summer might begin in April. Fish react to natureÂs timetable, not ours, so be aware of it and always ready to adjust tactics based on whatÂs going on, not what you think should be going on. Tight lines.Capt.

BoatingAndFishing.com € Page 44 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing WaterLine photo by Josh OliveAs modern spinning tackle gets tougher and more capable, taking on larger sh like this blacktip shark becomes a very realistic proposition. BY ROBERT LUGIEWICZ Choose your weapon One of the most basic decisions for any “sherman is what type of tackle heÂs going to use. While there are other specialty options, the main choices are spinning, spincast, baitcasting, conventional and ”y. Fly is outside my realm of expertise, so IÂll leave that to the folks who know it better, but letÂs talk about the others. Spincast gear is very popular in the freshwater world and with kids who are just getting started. ItÂs familiar to many anglers whoÂve “shed for cat“sh and perch, but unfortunately, spincast gear is never the best choice for saltwater “shing. The line goes into the inside of the reel, carrying salt with it. As you might expect, when it gets in there, it doesnÂt do good things. The salt causes corrosion and rust, leading to malfunctions, grinding and eventually reel death. If youÂre really particular about maintenance, you can keep a spincast reel alive for a while in a saltwater environment. But since a lot of anglers choose spincast based on the lower price, and most people donÂt really maintain cheap gear, itÂs usually not long before rust “nds a foothold. YouÂll be best o leaving spincast tackle to the freshwater “shermen. Spinning tackle is probably the most practical choice for most applications. These reels are easy to maintain „ just a rinse with low-pressure hose water after each use and maybe an oiling every few months. Spinning tackle can be used with live bait or arti“cial lures in almost any situation, from pan“shing to taking on tarpon. TodayÂs spinning reels are almost all built for braided line, and there are models with lots of drag available in sizes suited for all but the largest “sh. As a bonus, you can save money by using a single reel with dierent rods for various types of “shing, since spinning reels are very simple to swap out. Baitcasting gear is also versatile and low-maintenance, so why do most “shermen avoid this style? User-friendliness. If you like baitcasting reels and are pro“cient with them, by all means use them for inshore and light oshore “shing. But if you havenÂt “shed before, youÂll probably “nd it a lot more frustrating trying to work with baitcasters. Even modern baitcasting reels, which use magnetic anti-backlash devices, are touchy and take a lot of practice to cast well. Until you get the hang of it, theyÂre a royal pain. As spinning tackle has become dominant, even with larger “sh, conventional reels have become specialist gear. Where conventional really shines is for vertical “shing „ think sharks, grouper, amberjack „ and for trolling. Yes, you can use spinning gear for those styles of “shing, but a spinning reel will never be able to generate the same amount of torque as a conventional reel. ItÂs just physics. The line on a conventional out“t is wound onto the reel in the same direction as the rod is pointing. ItÂs like a winch. On a spinner, the line has to make a 90-degree turn to go on the spool. Take a spinner with 30 pounds of drag and a conventional with 30 pounds of drag. Spool them with the same 50-pound braid. Put them both on rods, same brand, same rating. Now hook up a matched double of 100-pound blacktip sharks. The shark on the conventional will almost always come in “rst, even if the angler hauling it in is a little smaller. Conventional reels can also have far larger spools than even the most massive spinning reels. While that can be a liability of youÂre trying to “ll a reel with small-diameter braided line, itÂs very helpful for packing on a lot of mono“lament line. Mono is generally a better choice than braid for conventional reels anyway, because the same winchlike con“guration that gives them added strength can also lead to the line getting buried into itself under heavy tension. If you still have questions about which type of tackle you should be using, consult with the experts at your local tackle shop. And by the way: A spinning or ”y reel goes below the rod when youÂre holding it. All the other types go above the rod.

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 45 WaterLine photo by Josh OliveLargemouth bass are FloridaÂs original shing claim to fame. Back when snook were soapsh, redsh were no better than carp, and tarpon were a wealthy foolÂs game, our bass were already widely admired. Freshwater opportunitiesSouthwest Florida oers amazing saltwater “shing which attracts throngs of anglers from all across the country and even from overseas. Many of these visitors become so captivated by our fantastic, year-round coastal “shing that they decide to relocate here permanently. Many of them, myself included, were avid freshwater anglers Âup northÂŽ who, after moving here, seem to forget about freshwater “shing altogether and “sh only in the salt. My dad moved our family here in 1975 and we immediately went head-over-heels into saltwater “shing, chasing just about every “sh that swam in Charlotte Harbor and the nearby Gulf of Mexico. I think it took at least 15 years before I ever even dropped a line in fresh water in Florida. Looking back at it now, I certainly donÂt regret having been lucky enough to spend countless hours of my youth exploring the “shing in salt water but I really wish that IÂd gotten back into fresh water “shing much sooner. When I “nally did begin to experiment with FloridaÂs freshwater “shing in the 1990s, I quickly discovered that it is very good. Now, there are no 100-pound tarpon, 500-pound sharks or marauding schools of overslot reds in fresh water, so it is true that you must scale back your tackle and your expectations a bit to really enjoy fresh water “shing. That said, Florida produces some really big bass, huge numbers of crappie (but you have to learn to call them specks, short for speckled perch) and bluegill “shing thatÂs unlike any I ever encountered up north. Right here in Southwest Florida, there is so much potential freshwater “shing territory that it would take years of dedicated exploration for an angler to sample it all. Much of the freshwater “shing here is found in beautiful, quiet locations where few other anglers will be encountered. I have several favorite freshwater spots where IÂve never even seen another “sherman „ something that can be said about very few saltwater “shing locales. As a bonus, the southern portion of Florida is home to a myriad of exotic freshwater “sh species, most of which aggravate “shery biologists but many of which provide great sport for anglers without the need to travel to the overseas locations where these “sh are natives. Oscars, Mayan and midas cichlids, snakeheads, peacock bass, clown knife“sh, several species of tilapia and dozens of others inhabit the warmer regions of the state. For better or for worse, the ranges of many of these are expanding so more anglers are encountering them. There are already so many of these exotics in some portions of southern Florida that anglers are speci“cally targeting them. In the Naples area and farther south, there are many anglers who make trips just to “sh for oscars and Mayan cichlids. These guys take advantage of the fact that there are no size or bag limits on those exotic species and they load coolers with the tasty invasive “sh. In many areas of the Everglades, the catches of non-natives far outstrip the catches of native pan“sh (which is why the “shery biologists are concerned). There are even South Florida “shing guides who specialize in catching some of the higher-pro“le exotics such as peacock bass, snakeheads, clown knife“sh and a few others. Central Florida boasts a number of fair-sized lakes which oer public access. In our neck of the woods, there are fewer options. The rivers are worth “shing, but much of our freshwater action is in canals and ponds. Of course, most of the ponds are on private property, and it really pays to get permission before you wet a line. Getting booted by a sheriÂs deputy is not a fun experience (or so IÂve been told). There is a learning curve associated with freshwater “shing in Florida, which is very dierent from freshwater “shing up north even when targeting the species which live both here and up there. FloridaÂs fresh waters tend to be warmer, shallower and more vegetation-“lled than the waters in which many of us “shed up north and this greatly in”uences “sh behavior. I canÂt say how long it takes to completely “gure out our freshwater “shing since IÂm still in learning mode myself „ but if I ever get there, IÂll let you know. LetÂs go “shing!Capt.

BoatingAndFishing.com € Page 46 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Graphic by Josh Olive How to hook a bait Some “shermen hook a bait by just sticking a hook in it anywhere. This is generally not the best method. Shown at right are three ways to hook a shrimp. The top method uses a worm hook, made for bass “shing. ItÂs weedless and very eective on the grass”ats. The middle method works well in open water. Be sure to avoid the dark spot, which is not the brain but the organ mass. Puncture it and your shrimp wonÂt live long. The bottom method uses a jighead, which is great for getting more casting distance. When hooking a crab, insert the hook point in the second-to-last leg joint and bring it out through the upper shell. Bait“sh can be tricky. Whitebait, shown in the top image, have tough nose cartilage that provides a natural hooking area. Go in one side and out the other. Hooking a bait“sh low on the body will make it swim upward. Conversely, hooking it high will make it swim downward. The mullet at the bottom is rigged to slowtroll. Hook from the bottom jaw straight up through the snout and the bait wonÂt spin. When hooking a worm, thread it onto the hook, passing through the body three to “ve times. This keeps it secure for casting. Don, Fix My Trailer!

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 47 Graphic by Josh OliveLove that porgy rigWhether you call it a porgy rg, a chicken rig or a hi-lo, this twin-hook rig is a “sh-catching machine on the reefs, wrecks and hard bottom of Southwest Florida. It doesnÂt take long to tie „ and even better, itÂs the easiest way to bottom “sh. To make a porgy rig, start with about 6 feet of heavy leader material. If youÂre going after snapper on natural hard bottom, 20-pound ”uorocarbon might be what you want. Grouper on a wreck? IÂm thinking 80-pound ”uoro. ItÂs good to have an assortment so you always have just the right material. You can tie this to your main line with a swivel if you want, but a line-to-line knot like the Uni knot is better. Too much hardware will reduce your bites. On the end of your leader, tie a bank sinker. The weight will depend on the depth and current where youÂre “shing, but generally 2 to 4 ounces will do “ne. About a foot above the sinker, tie a dropper loop. Then tie a second dropper loop about a foot above that one. Now, cut both loops near the knot so you have longer single strands instead of loops. On each of these strands, tie an appropriately sized inline (non-oset) circle hook. A 2/0 is probably about what you want for snapper, unless you;re into some really big ones. For grouper, a 6/0 to 8/0 hook sounds more like it. Because you have two hooks, you can bait each with a dierent choice. Try squid on top and shrimp below, or cut sardine and a whole whitebait. Once you determine which bait is getting the most hits, you can bait both hooks the same. This is great for kids, by the way. Nothing cuts through a short attention span like catching “sh two at a time! Photo providedCatching sh two at a time? Sure, why not?To “sh a porgy rig, drop it all the way down to the bottom and then reel until the line is taut. You should be able to feel the sinker bouncing o the bottom as waves rock the boat. Because your line is always taut, you can very easily feel every nibble. When you feel the “rst “sh on, reel the rig just a bit o the bottom. Put about 2 or 3 feet of line on the reel. Nothing excites “sh like a one of their buddies eating, so itÂs very common for a second “sh to try stealing your “rst “shÂs lunch and end up on the other hook. When you feel this, start cranking them up. If youÂre having trouble getting the two-fer, try using tougher bait. Squid is easiest because it will usually take some serious pecking before coming o the hook. If two at a time starts getting dull, thereÂs nothing stopping you from tying a threeor four-hook porgy rig. You may regret it when you suddenly get loaded up by four chunky grouper at once, though. For some aquarium-style fun, try using tiny hooks „ No. 6 or smaller „ baited with eensy-teensy bits of squid or shrimp. YouÂll catch all sorts of odd tropical “sh that look like theyÂre straight from the pet shop: A great photo op for the kids. adno=50509486 € Surveys, Haul-outs for Boats up to 65 ft. with free Overnight Stay. € Fiberglass & Gelcoat Repair € Engine Maintenance and Repair by Experienced Technicians € Professional Bottom Painting and Detailing € Convenient Location with Deepwater Access € Underwater Gear Reconditioned Marina Service Center Gasp arilla Marina Service Center Loca ted at Gasparilla Marina 15001 Gasparilla Road, Placida, FL 33946 941-698-1750 € lori.gmsc@comcast.net

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 48 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing WaterLine photo by Josh OliveA shing rod is a tool. Like any other tool, it does best when itÂs used for the job it was designed to do „ and every rod is made for a slightly dierent job. Picking the perfect fishing rodWalk into any well-stocked tackle shop and one of the “rst things youÂll see is a forest of “shing rods. They all look sort of similar: Long, skinny sticks with a handle at one end and a bunch of line guides down one side. But we all know theyÂre actually very dierent. So how do you choose the right one for your style of “shing? Well, “rst, try thinking like a golfer. IÂm sure there are golfers who use a 7 iron for the whole course „ but not many. Most golfers have a whole bag full of clubs, and at some point theyÂll reach for a putter or a wedge. They understand that dierent clubs are made for dierent purposes. Right tool for the right job. Fishing rods are the same way „ dierent rods for dierent types of “shing. Rod choice is at the basic level simple: Big “sh, big rod; smaller “sh, smaller rod. We use the whole range, but letÂs start with the rod youÂll use most. For the average Charlotte Harbor angler, your go-to rod will be about 7 feet long and have a medium to medium-heavy line class rating. Usually, that would a be a 6-12, 6-14 or 8-17 pound test mono rating. Now that doesnÂt mean you have to use line of that pound test with the rod. All it means is that when youÂre comparing rods of the same make and model, the rods with the lower numbers will have a lighter feel and action. If IÂm casting lures, I prefer a 6-12 or 6-14 rod light in the tip and heavy towards the butt. A very light tip means I can twitch a lure eectively, and the heavy butt allows me to “ght a “sh better. If IÂm casting bait like shrimp or greenbacks, I prefer an 8-17 rod with a tighter tip and a heavier action close to the handle. LetÂs introduce another variable: Not all rods bend the same. When IÂm “shing open water with live or dead bait, I like a rod with a slower action. These rods bend in a parabolic curve „ think of a rainbow „ from the tip to the butt. However, if I am “shing the mangroves or heavy cover, I want a fast-taper rod with most of the bend in the tip. The reason is that when I am “shing cover, I need more control of the “sh. In open water the “sh has plenty of water to run in and nothing to break the line. But if the “sh is running under the mangroves or docks, it may wrap the line around the roots or pilings. Unlike the parabolic bend slow-action rod, a fast-action rod increases pressure to the “sh a little bit more with every inch the rod bends, helping you turn the “sh. Think about it this way: If you were tied to a line and you took o running and hit the end of the line hard, the line would most likely break from the impact. But if a little bit of pressure pulling you o course was added to you with each step, you would end up running in a circle or arc. And that is what happens to your “sh. The steadily increasing pressure turns the “sh, helps you get it away from whatever it wanted to swim around. What about rod length? For general use, I usually suggest a medium-heavy 7-foot rod. If you “sh mostly up against the mangroves IÂd go with a shorter rod, maybe 6 or 6.5 feet. Shorter rods are easier to control, and you donÂt have to cast far to reach the mangroves. Now on the open ”at, “shing the sand bars or open water, I would say a 7.5 or maybe even an 8-foot rod. The longer rod allows for more casting distance to maybe reach that “sh way over yonder in the next pothole. Why are they never in perfect casting distance except on the TV shows? Take care to match your reel and line to your rod. That sounds simple, but I see it done wrong every day. People think that by putting heavy line on their small reel, they will be able to land bigger “sh. ThatÂs like putting the brakes from a pickup truck in a semi and expecting them to stop it. The drag on a little reel will only stop so much. Another problem: When you put heavy line on a small reel, you donÂt have much line to work with. Once the “sh has all the line, just say good-bye. ItÂs OK to shed a tear at this point; I understand. To avoid such sad scenes, just repeat this mantra: Heavy line with a heavy rod and reel. Light line with a light rod and reel. If you have “shed a lot and you know what you like, you can pick up a rod and sort of tell what it will do. For years, I picked rods for people. I still do when someone wants a rod for a very speci“c job. But I still “nd it very dicult choosing a rod for a woman. A womanÂs wrist is dierent than a manÂs. Over the last few hundred thousand years, men have evolved wrists to swing clubs and pound on things. So if thereÂs one thing I know, itÂs that one rod rarely feels the same to both women and men. Finding the most comfortable rod for anyone, man or woman, is tough. So I developed a system using weight to “nd out how a rod eects a persons wrist and how it Âfeels.ÂŽ Every rod has a feel to it, and only the person whoÂs using it can say if itÂs the right one. If your buddy has his or her perfect rod, good for them „ but it might not feel good to you at all. Take your time when choosing your go-to rod and reel, as it will become your best buddy and you will hopefully spend a lot of time together. After that, get help picking a rod that will cast far down the ”ats or get you a lot of control of a “sh against the trees. I can tell you many times IÂve had to replace rods which customers thought were great in the store, but then when they got out “shing it was just wrong. The only true test is to “sh with it. So “nd a bait and tackle store to help you choose (hey, I know where thereÂs a really good one), because the right rod makes the experience better.

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 49 WaterLine “le photoOur local canals can be shing hotspots. THey can also be very slow, so be sure youÂre targeting them at the right times. Check out the canalsI think one of the most ignored resources when it comes to “shing in this area is our canals. We have 190 linear miles of saltwater canals in Charlotte County that are just smack full of “sh. And theyÂre full of “sh for good reason: The canals are ripe with structure. Docks, seawalls, oyster growth, boats that never move, bridges, “sh lights and even mangroves. All of this serves as protection and a food source for our “sh. On top of all of that, the canals can be a saving grace for our “sh when winter temperatures get too cold. The canals are deep and the bottom is dark. That makes them heat up faster in the sun and retain that heat better than the shallows of the Harbor. Snook will even lay up against the sea walls to soak up the heat as they warm in the sun. They seem to be ignored for many reasons. Sometimes the residents are hostile to “shermen, and I can understand that to some extent. I donÂt want to “nd hooks the hard way in my mooring lines or chunks out of my gelcoat because someone is bouncing heavy sinkers or jigheads o the side of my boat. The currents in some canals can be challenging to deal with, and anchoring is frowned upon. But if you can pull it together, you can “nd almost every species you target on the ”ats and the mangrove shorelines in the canals. Snook, red“sh, tarpon and snapper can be particularly abundant in the canals. Fishing the canals is really no dierent than “shing anywhere else. You want to target either structure or a food source. In the canals, structure mostly means docks and boats. Sure, if you can “nd mangroves, you can target them just like you would outside of the canals, but weÂre going to focus on docks and boats. Those docks and boats provide hiding spots for “sh of all sizes. It would probably blow your mind if you could get a snapshot of what lies under some of those sailboats that never move. When “shing the canals, I try to consider my target “shÂs second strongest sense. The canals are usually pretty dark and murky, so most of the time the “sh canÂt see well. Instead, they will fall back to their second strongest sense. Snook, for instance, will use their sense of vibration. Red“sh will use their sense of smell. So I want to take advantage of that. For snook, IÂll will throw whitebait in the summer and arti“cials that rattle in the winter. For red“sh, you can throw shrimp all year or whitebait when itÂs available. Same goes for snapper. Just like when youÂre “shing the mangroves, casting accuracy is a necessity. YouÂre going to be sidearm casting your bait under docks, around boats and mooring lines, or right up against boats without hitting them. With shrimp, IÂll usually freeline them if the current isnÂt too strong. I want the bait to act natural, but at the same time I want it to stay in the strike zone, which is right under that dock or boat. With arti“cials, IÂll work them a little dierently. Most people will throw three or four times under a dock then move to the next. IÂll probably cast 15 or 20 times under that dock, hoping for a reaction strike. The only way that snook has to make that annoying lure shut up and go away is to eat it. Tackle is usually simple and similar to what I use around the mangroves: A 4000 series reel with 15-pound braided line on a 7or 7.5-foot rod. My leader might need an upgrade, though. I usually start with a 30-pound leader. If IÂm getting a lot of break-os, IÂll up it to 40 and sometimes even to a knottable steel leader. Everything in a canal is abrasive. Everything. As far as my lures go, I like crankbaits in the canals. Rapala X-Raps and smaller Bombers are great, but my all-time favorite in the canals, especially in the summer when the water is very murky, is a Rat-L-Trap. If youÂre targeting snook, you need something that makes some noise, and you canÂt out-rattle a Rat-L-Trap. I also use white ”ukes rigged on a worm hook, and IÂve been known to use a Gulp crab on a jighead a time or two. Get out there and hit those canals. They can be a trip-saver on windy days when itÂs just too rough to be comfortable out on the Harbor. Just make sure your GPS is working. You can get lost in there.Capt.

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 50 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing Photo providedWhen sh are hanging out under the mangroves, this is usually about as far out as theyÂll come to hit a bait. Get it in there, or donÂt get bit. Photo provided ItÂs common knowledge that “shing along a mangrove shoreline can be very productive here in Charlotte Harbor. Yet many anglers are frustrated by a lack of success in these areas. Understanding exactly how and why “sh utilize this type of habitat will help you catch more and bigger “sh here. One reason “sh hang out around mangroves it “nd food. Mangrove roots provide great hiding places for small “sh and crustaceans, and oer a solid surface for barnacles and oysters to anchor themselves. Fish will sometimes choose to hang out under mangroves with lots of bird activity. Active rookeries are a great place to “nd free food, such as scraps dropped by messy chicks and sometimes even the chicks themselves. Landing birds also sometimes knock mangrove crabs into the water. For a red“sh, thatÂs manna from heaven. They also use mangrove trees as shelter. Overhanging branches make great shade on a hot, sunny day. The water temperature under mangroves can be several degrees cooler than water over open sand just a few feet away. Larger predators such as sharks and dolphins are unable to follow them in, so mangroves are an ideal refuge. When the tide is high, even large “sh can penetrate surprisingly far back into mangrove root tangles. If youÂre quiet enough, you can sometimes hear loud splashes of “sh feeding deep in the mangrove swamps. As the water drops toward low tide, these “sh must “nd deeper refuges within the swamp or “nd a way out to open water. Fish often use tiny feeder creeks as paths through the dense jungle. Locating these creeks and targeting them as the tide falls can lead to some very impressive catches. Because mangroves are such excellent hiding places, it can be very dicult to tempt “sh out. If your cast ends up a few feet short of the trees, itÂs likely that you wonÂt be very successful. Fish will come to the edge of the cover but will rarely leave it, even for a tasty morsel sitting on their doorstep. Casting close means youÂll end up tangling in tree branches sometimes. After youÂre done “shing a spot, go retrieve your line and hooks. TheyÂre death traps for birds, and if you leave them, the “shing gods will curse you. This opening in a pocket of the mangroves might be a creek mouth. Some creeks are very small, so it can be hard to tell without a close inspection. ItÂs worth knowing, though, because almost all creeks are sh attractors. Overhanging mangrove branches provide great cover for sh, and they know it. Cast placement is very important. Get your bait under the branches with a sidearm cast, and youÂre in the money ƒ ƒ but if your cast lands here, youÂre probably going to nd nothing but pinsh and maybe crabs. Accuracy is everything, and the only way to get better is to practice, practice, practice. Mangrove shorelines that also have healthy seagrass, visible here as dark patches, can be more productive than those with featureless sand or mud in front of them. When a mangrove limb or trunk is snapped o and falls into the water, it becomes a separate piece of structure. Fish will sometimes utilize these, especially if the water under the trees isnÂt quite deep enough for them. TheyÂre usually worth a cast or two. As with any structure, start shing a mangrove shoreline from a distance. Fish that detect your presence may evacuate the area or swim deeper into the tree roots. Make several casts to likely spots before approaching closer to pick an area apart. An angler on foot can be much more eective in these areas than one in a boat, mostly because itÂs a lot less invasive. However, some mangrove shorelines have deep, sticky mud. Check it before you hop overboard. When sh are waiting to enter a mangrove swamp as the tide rises, theyÂll often use slightly deeper areas as resting spots. These can be creek mouths, potholes or just areas that have an extra few inches of water, and they might be a dozen or more yards out from the treeline. adno=50511163 F IN E BAIT & T A C K L E adno=50509492 North PortÂs Finest & ONLY Fishing Shop Wide array of LIVE & FROZEN BAIT FULL & HALF DAY CHARTERS INSHORE Open 7 days a week, 6 AM TO 6 PM www.FineBaitAndTackle.com 14503 Tamiami Trail, North Port, FL 34287 (941) 240-5981 facebook.com/pages/Fine-Bait-and-Tackle Fishing tackle € Rod and reel repair

2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 51 Navigate through any local saltwater canal after dark and youÂll see underwater “sh lights casting an eerie greenish glow behind some houses. These lights are meant to attract “sh „ and they work pretty darn well. If you hang out around one of these light and watch, youÂll probably see snook, tarpon, cat“sh, mullet and an assortment of tiny “sh. Sometimes drum or sharks show up, but thatÂs incidental. Understanding what draws them will help you understand how to “sh here. The lights work by drawing in little crustaceans like copepods. These tiny shrimp-like animals are eaten by the little “sh, and the bigger “sh show up to the party later on. Because most of the prey items around the lights are small, it makes sense to use small lures or baits. You can dip up the little bait“sh in a net, but that might shut the bite down for the rest of the night. While shrimp can work, predators at the lights are expecting small “sh. Tiny lures like the DOA Tiny TerrorEyz and Creme LitÂl Fishie are ideal. If you watch the bait“sh, youÂll see they often swim in a skitter-pause, skitter-pause pattern. Try to imitate that with your lure. This action is easier to attain with a ”y, which wonÂt sink like a lure when you pause it. Throwing small bait“sh imitations is also easier with a ”y rod. If you use this technique, take care to avoid slapping your line down on the water. Although lights both above and under water will show you “sh, very often the “sh you can see arenÂt the ones that are actively feeding. Why? Stand in a dark room and look into a well-lit one. You can see everything. Now move to the lit room and look back into the dark. Not seeing much, are you? ItÂs the same underwater. Focus your eorts on the edges of the lightÂs in”uence. Predators will hang out in the dark and watch for an opportunity to lunge toward the light and grab an easy meal. Lights that are above the water will usually create a shadow line on the water. Lighted docks are perfect for this, as “sh can hide under them. Take note that a shadow line may continue to angle under the water, as shown in the top graphic. Fish will often hold near the bottom, so do some down-and-dirty geometry in your head „ angle of the light plus water depth „ to get an idea where to “sh. Graphics by Josh Olive adno=50512711

BoatingAndFishing.com • Page 52 2017 Annual Guide to Southwest Florida Fishing An anglerÂ’s glossaryWhether youÂre new to the water or an old salt, you have to agree that boaters and anglers use some terminology that takes a while to pick up. I thought a glossary of some of these words might be useful to you. Although the following list is far from complete, it should be enough to get you started. ABEAM: At a right angle to the keel or centerline of the boat. ABOARD: On a boat. AFT: Toward the stern. AGROUND: When a boatÂs hull is in contact with the bottom. If this happens under power, itÂs called running aground If the boat canÂt be freed, itÂs called hard aground If the tide goes out while youÂre aground, you may end up high and dry AID TO NAVIGATION: Any device intended to assist navigators in determining their position or safe course, or to warn them of dangers or obstructions to navigation (channel markers, lighthouses, buoys, etc.). ALGAE: Single-celled or multicellular plantlike organisms. Water rich in nutrients often causes an algal bloom (rapid growth) of unicellular species. Multicellular species (kelp, sargassum, etc.) are called macroalgae or, more commonly, seaweed. ANCHOR: A device used to secure a vessel to the bottom. There are many designs. In some cases, even a concrete block can be used as an anchor. ANCHOR PIN: A long, thin rod used to stake out a boat. Can be manual (e.g., Stick It) or power-operated (e.g., Power Pole). ARTIFICIAL LURE: Any bait not organic in nature; usually made of plastic, metal, wood, feathers or some combination thereof. BACKCOUNTRY: Inshore areas characterized by narrow, shallow waterways and heavy mangrove growth. There is open water in the backcountry, but getting to it is often dicult. Sometimes used to refer to any inshore waters. BAG LIMIT: The quantity of a given species that may be taken by a individual harvester each day. For the purposes of the bag limit, a harvester is a person actively engaged in catching sh. Someone who isnÂt shing, has no license or is too young to hold a rod is not a harvester, which means they cannot collect any part of a bag limit. BAIT: Any natural or articial lure used to entice sh to bite a hook. BARRIER ISLAND: A large sandbar between inshore and oshore waters. Barrier islands naturally shift over time, a process that humans try to control because beachfront property is expensive. BENTHIC: Used to describe any organism that lives on the bottom (sea stars, scallops, crabs, etc.). If attached to solid objects, benthic creatures are called sessile (oysters, corals, barnacles, etc.). BILGE: The compartment at the bottom of the hull where water collects. BIMINI TOP: An foldable canvas top for the cockpit of a boat, supported by a metal frame. BLINDCASTING: A method of sportshing in which an angler casts a bait to an area he supposes a sh might be, as opposed to sightcasting. BLUE WATER: Water so deep it appears royal blue, generally 200 feet or more deep. On this coast, it takes a run of more than 100 miles to reach blue water. BOATING SAFETY COURSE: A class intended to teach one how to be a safe vessel operator. In Florida, required for anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, to operate a vessel. BOGA: A brand of lip-gripping and weighing tool used to hold sh. Often used generically to refer to any similar tool. BOTTOM FISHING: A shing style that utilizes natural baits and heavy sinkers to target reef sh (usually grouper and/or snapper) in the Gulf. Also, any other method that target sh living on the seaoor. BOTTOM MACHINE: See shnder. BOW: The front end of a boat. BRACKISH: Water that is a mixture of salt and fresh. Brackish water is often murky and/or tinted brown, but not always. BRAID: Fishing line made from gel-spun polyethylene ber. Braided line is characterized by a small diameter relative to its tensile strength. BRIDGE GAFF: A weighted treble hook attached to a strong line, used for lifting large sh up to a bridge or high pier. Unethical and possibly illegal for sh that are to be released. (See Pier Net.) BUCK SNOOK: A small snook (16 to 24 inches). Snook are almost always male at this size and become female when they get larger. BUCKTAIL: A jig dressed with natural hair or nylon bristles. BULL REDFISH: A large redsh, male or female. Usually reserved for sh longer than 30 inches. BUMPER: A plastic foamor air-lled device used to absorb shock when a boat contacts a solid object or other boat. BUOY: A oating object anchored to the bottom, used to mark a spot. BUSTING BAIT: Large sh attacking small sh at the waterÂs surface. BYCATCH: A sh caught while targeting a dierent species. CANAL: A long and narrow man-made waterway. May be lled with salt, brackish or fresh water. CASTNET: A circular net 4 to 30 feet in diameter, weighted at the edges, designed to be thrown. The netter grips an attached rope to retrieve the net. Measured by radius (an 8-foot net is 16 feet across). CATCHANDRELEASE: To capture sh for amusement with no intention of harvesting them. CHANNEL: A navigable pathway of deeper water through an area of shallower water. Some are natural; others man-made. CHART: A map of a waterway, usually marked with approximate depths. CHINE: An angle in the hull, or a line formed at the point at which the sides of a boat meet the bottom. CHOP: Isolated waves that are short and steep; often seen as adjective form Âchoppy.ÂŽ CHUM: Ground or nely chopped whole sh or liquid (blood, sh oil, etc.) used as a scent attractant and to get sh started feeding. CLEAT: A stationary device used to secure a rope aboard a vessel. CIRCLE HOOK: A shhook with the point turned back toward the shank. Can be inline (with point on the same plane as the shank) or oset. Designed to catch sh without angler interaction; in fact, attempts to set a circle hook usually result in just pulling it from the shÂs mouth. COCKPIT: The area of the vessel where the helm and operatorÂs controls are located. In smaller vessels, this usually also includes the seating area. COME ABOUT: Steer in the opposite direction. CRAB TRAP BUOY: A Styrofoam oat used to mark the location of a crab trap. CRANKBAIT: An articial lure, usually hard plastic, designed to dive and vibrate rapidly when retrieved. May be lipped (e.g., the Bomber Fat A) or lipless (e.g., the Rat-L-Trap). CREEK: A narrow natural body of water, usually owing. Freshwater creeks may ow for many miles. Tidal creeks are brackish or salt water and have no natural ow (water moves only with the tides), and may be as short as 30 feet. CREST: The topmost part of a wave. CRIMP: A metal tube used to secure cable wire or monolament shing line in place of a knot. CURRENT: Moving water in any form. CUT: A narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies. CUTBAIT: Pieces of sh used as bait. Usually cut from whole sh, not llets. DECK: Nauti-speak for oor. GenerOr, a simple explanation of all those strange words people keep using Photo providedThe two diagonal lines on this hull near the waterline both have names. The top one is the chine ; the lower one is a lifting strake Photo providedSea stars are an example of benthic life. adno=50512749 FrankÂs Engine Rebuilding & Machine Shop 3rd Generation Rebuilding Experts € ESTABLISHED 1958 € Frank Panno Owner 3151 Cooper St., Unit 11, Punta Gorda Heavy Duty € Industrial € AG € Diesel € Marine 941-505-6994 € franksengine@outlook.com TuesÂ…Fri 10 AM Â…5 PM at 109E Olympia Ave #305, Punta Gorda Sat 8 AM Â…1 PM at the Punta Gorda Downtown Farmers Market ORIGINAL SWISS ARMY KNIVES PETERÂS KNIFE SHOP (941) 639-1542 peters-knife-shop@embarqmail.com www.petersknifeshop.ch € Professional Sharpening € Swiss Army Pocket Knives € Collectors Knives € Knife Museum € Kitchen Knives € Fishing Knives adno=50509403
