Bongo®Nautic - and your Yacht Will Float on Light Underwater lighting systems increase the attraction of motor yachts and sailboats signi� cantly. We were able to con� rm this over and over again: The underwater world, when brightly lit up at night, casts its spell on those who are present. Up to now, however, you had to accept that the hull had to be perforated below the waterline in order to achieve this; an undertaking which harbors the risk of leaks and the associated costs and e� ort.

Bongo®Nautic has the answer: BONGO®, the mobile lighting system, which is an ingenious alternative:

The entire lighting unit is lowered into the water within the shortest time imaginable, taking but a few movements, either from the stern of the boat and/or from the swimming platform, and then attached with ropes. Unlike with conventionally installed systems, the light is directed not only from the stern towards the back. Rather, � ve wide-beam lights illuminate the bottom of the stern and the surrounding water. Five additional spotlights are directed forward and two shine down into the depths. Thus, your yacht is going to present itself on a turquoise-colored sparkling light cushion in the midst of the pitch-black night sea. The wide-beam lights generate no individually recognizable beams of light but illuminate the surroundings of the yacht in a homogeneous glow. - And the ship’s hull remains absolutely intact.

Cobia Tube Initially designed and tested for Cobia Release Tournaments, the COBIA TUBE® is now available to all anglers world wide. Simply connect the COBIA TUBE® to a saltwater wash-down pump, and any Cobia caught and netted alive can be kept alive for extended periods of time just as Bass and Red� sh can be maintained in conventional live wells.

Boats must be equipped with a functioning wash down or live well pump, a cockpit hose bib connection and have overboard deck drains or automatic bilge pumps to discharge seawater that out� ows the COBIA TUBE® during normal operation.

Can you believe it? August is already here and I know that some of you are ready for fall with the extremely hot weather we have had this summer. It will surely be here sooner than you think but enjoy the month of August as it also has some really good � shing.

The near shore waters from Beaufort Inlet to the Cape Lookout Shoals and out a few miles will see plenty of summer King Mackerel along with some nice Spanish Mackerel. For those looking for large end of summer Spanish Mackerel your best bet is to � sh the 30-50 ft. of water between Cape Lookout and Beaufort Inlet with live bait consisting of menhaden, 5-6 inch long mullet or trolling with small Mackerel dusters and spoons. Those that venture 5-6 miles out will � nd some smaller peanut Dolphin coming in to feed on the schools of bait.

This is also the month that the large Red Drum will be moving out of Pamlico Sound and will be feeding during the early evenings and during the night. These large drum are best caught on cut mullet or Menhaden and � shed on an Owen Lupton rig. This is a special rig that must be used in order to � sh for these large drum. Please see illustration below to view this rig.

The end of August is going to usher in the start of the Flounder migration back out to sea and we will start to see some of the big boys that have been way up inside the creeks and rivers start to make their way back out into the sounds and inlets. This is also the month that we will start to see some nice sized Speckled Trout and Red Drum move into the marsh areas and around the bridges. They will begin feeding on live minnows and the local abundance of shrimp.

Speaking of shrimp, we have had a good summer crop and the fall is really looking good with lots of small ones back in the nursery areas of North River, Newport River and Core Creek. If we do not see any bad storms this fall, we should see a bumper crop of nice Reds and Specks. The best way to catch these fall shallow water trophies is going to be either live shrimp or mud minnows � shed under a popping cork. The use of scented soft plastic baits such as Deep Creek lures and Berkley Gulp both in either the shrimp pattern or twister tail are a good choice of baits. These can either be used on a popping cork or worked slowly on a jig head.

Another exciting way to catch trout and drum but it takes a little more patience and expertise is the use of the hard baits. Mainly being used are the Mirro-Lures in the entire MR- series as well as the top water baits such as the Top dog, Bomber baits, Heddon Spook, Zara Spook and also the Rapala X-Rap baits which are mostly suspending baits that you will jig very slowly just twitching every now and then. Another little tick to use on the hard baits is the use of Pro-cure bait Scent which comes in a wide variety of scents such as menhaden, shrimp, mullet and inshore-saltwater. This bait scent really does increase your catch rate, just try it.

So don’t fret, although August is hot, there are still nice � sh to be caught. The major thing to keep in mind during the hot months of summer is to get out really early around day break and then again in the early evening until dark. I hope that everyone has had a great summer and we will soon be into our fall � shing season so get out and stretch a line.

Wachapreague VA – On June 23, 2012, Susan Nelson, of Whiteford, MD boated a 122 pound, 1 ounce wahoo while � shing with Capt. Keith Neal aboard the Wachapreague-based charter vessel, Teaser. The huge � sh measured 80.25 inches in length with a whopping 33� girth. The Teaser was a participant in the MSSA tournament and hooked the large � sh while trolling for tuna o� the Lumpy Bottom on a Joe Shute Lure and ballyhoo combination. Nelson landed the � sh using a custom rod with a Shimano Tiagra reel loaded with 80# Mamoi Hi-Catch Diamond line, The lure/ballyhoo combination was rigged on a 130 mono leader with a Mustad hook. The � sh was positively identi� ed by VSFT State Record Committee member Bill Hall, in accordance with VSFT State Record procedures. Hall also completed the State Record Application.

According To Capt. Neal, the wahoo hit the bait as it was � shed from the longrigger and made a blistering run. The � sh came up to the surface four times but did not jump causing the crew to think that it was foul hooked a blue marlin. The � fth time that the � sh surfaced during the 45-minute � ght, the crew saw the telltale stripes and initially thought striped marlin but knew that they were not native to the Atlantic Ocean, then they realized that it was monster wahoo hooked on a mono� lament leader.

“We knew we had one shot at ga� ng it with the mono leader,” Capt. Neal commented. “The � sh came along side and the mate hit it with the ga� , but the ga� ’s rubber handle pulled o� . We put a second ga� in it and pulled it on board. I knew it was big and � rst estimated it around 90-pounds. When I pulled out the tape measurer and it stretched the tape to 80-inches, I knew we had a much bigger � sh and called my wife as soon as we got close enough to shore to get a cell signal. When she looked up the existing state record, I knew we had a shot at beating it.”

The � sh was weighed in on scales certi� ed in April of 2012 at the Wachapreague Marina.

You just purchased a new � shing rod for a speci� c type of � shing. You put a reel on the rod and went � shing but some-thing just didn’t feel right. The rod and reel combo did not perform to your expectations. The distance and accuracy fell short of your requirements, and the sensitivity was poor or non-existent.

So, what went wrong? You thought you did your homework and checked with your � shing friends to get their input. You researched di� erent manufactures on-line, and you wore the print o� the pages of your favorite mail-order catalog. So o� you go to your favorite tackle store armed with all the info you thought you needed. Talking to the salesperson they agree and say, “That’s what I use” or something along that line.

The facts are: most rod manufactures mark the rod specs and actions ALMOST the same. For example, a medium action rod with an extra fast tip from one manufacturer is a medium action with a fast tip from another, even though both specify, extra-fast. Also the applications don’t cover the entire lure or � sh species the rod applies to. Example: Find a rod marked for speckled trout or weak� sh, GOOD LUCK! Actually some of the best inshore trout rods are mar-keted toward the bass community. Rods marked for shaky head or drop shot series in the lighter actions are perfect for speckled trout. (Just an example)

However the biggest mistake folks make when buying a rod is they don’t bring the reel with them that they are going to use on the rod. Bring your reel � lled with line, put it on the rod, take it out and cast it! See how the rod loads with the line through the guides, not de� ecting the tip on the � oor or ceiling in the store. That does nothing to tell you how the rod will perform. If the store won’t let you test cast the rod, � nd a store that will.

If you’re still not satis� ed, contact a reliable custom rod builder. They will spend the time with you to ensure you get the rod you need for your type of � shing and most of the time the custom rod prices are in-line with the high-end factory rods.
