THE ART OF SPORTFISHING


A special exhibit titled The Lure of Florida Fishing is now open at the
Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee, telling the tale of the states
long relationship with rod and reel. Organizations and individuals from
around the country have loaned imagery, sh mounts, early tackle and
other memorabilia for display. Among the highlights are two of the most
storied trophies in sport: the Mrs. Henry Rea Silver Sailsh Derby trophy
from the West Palm Beach Fishing Club and the Metropolitan Miami
Fishing Tournaments (METs) H.H. Hyman Memorial Trophy. Each was
the highly sought top prize of its respective long-running competition.
Also on display will be two original paintings by Stanley Meltzoff,
widely acclaimed as one of the nest angling artist of all time. The two
canvases - one of a hooked bonesh and the other of a school of jacks
- represent scenes familiar to Florida sportsmen.
This exhibit allows visitors to experience and learn about the fasci-
nating history and lineage of sportshing in the Sunshine State, said
Secretary of State Ken Detzner. We hope visitors and Floridians alike
will get hooked on Florida shing, as so many have before them.
The Lure of Florida Fishing runs through August 26. For a list of

C U Yacht Charters Ira. It is easy to cover a lot of different
islands, see the most amazing crystal clear clean water and
sand anywhere, and in typically calm seas.
As for comfort, power catamarans tend to offer better ac-
commodations than sailboats plus they can typically cater
to more guests, MarineMaxs Bermudez explains. In order
to get the same amount of accommodations and comfort
that you nd on say a MarineMax 484 power catamaran,
you would need to charter a 70-plus foot monohull.
The desire to be pampered is another big reason clients
charter power yachts.
C U Yacht Charters Ira explains, The powerboat charter
guests dont want to help sail the boat, they want to be en-
tertained, cooked for, doted on, and made to feel special.
For example, clients can often eat better on a chartered
power yacht, they can drink from ne crystal while under-
way, they can have a massage, take a dip in the hot tub,
take the wave runners out for a spin, slide down the water-
slide, all of course, depending on what toys are available on
the yacht they charter.
Power also allows the charter guest to enjoy all the con-
veniences of home while on the water.
The power boats in charter typically offer a lot more
equipment than what is found in sailboat charter boats,
MarineMaxs Bermudez says. For example, the entire
MarineMax Vacations charter eet has water makers, elec-
tric BBQ grills, air conditioning, fresh water electric ush
systems, state of the art electronics and dont forget the
fancy stereo systems.
The biggest concern clients voice when choosing be-
tween sail versus power is cost. This mainly relates to fuel.
However, says C U Yacht Charters Ira, In my opinion,
Americans like to see value for money, and they tend to
consider the more places they can see in a week, the bet-
ter the value.
Fuel is really the only additional cost to consider when
comparing a power catamaran versus a sailboat charter, ex-
plains the Moorings Pedersen. Other than the fuel charge,
which is assessed when you return the boat, every other
aspect of the trip is very similar to what you would expect
from a sailboat charter regarding cost.
Fuel consumption varies greatly depending on how fast
the boat and how often the generator are run, says Marine-
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE MOORINGS

Maxs Bermudez. On average, for a full week of charter,


fuel consumption on our 382 power cat that has twin 110HP
engines varies from as little as $350 up to about $650. On
our four stateroom 484 with twin 330 Volvo engines the fuel
consumption varies from $750 to $1,250. Power catamarans
in charter today are very fuel efcient, therefore the cost is
not that big a factor when compared to the room and ame-
nities you can get on board.

SAVANNAH SNAPPER BANKS AND GULF STREAM


Finally, offshore shermen should head out to the Savannah
Snapper Banks, about 35 miles offshore. Use cut sh and
squid to catch vermilion snapper, white grunt, triggersh,
amberjack, red porgy, white bone, cobia, and many other
top/bottom biters (grouper season opens May 1).
For the shermen seeking blue water status, April is your
month. The 70-mile run for tuna, dolphin, wahoo, mako shark,
and billsh is denitely worth it. Single-hook, chin-weighted
dink ballyhoo and cedar plugs are the best bait to use. Then

BILLFISH CHALLENGE

during the 2013 BBC competition

A
fter completing its 40th season of competitive
billshing in 2013, the Bahamas Billsh Chal-
lenge (BBC) continues to evolve. The 2014 series
will consist of four tournaments equally spread
across the months of May and June, with each event focus-
ing on the renowned shing grounds of the Abacos.
New tourney president and director Jennifer Dudas has
been with the BBC for 21 years already, and should bring
a steady hand to their long-term tradition of quality. First
I want to thank Al Behrendt for producing the Bahamas
Billsh Challenge for the past 20 years, said Dudas. The

sion for offshore shing, will give me the tools to take the

the practice of a lay day, where competitors choose which
day to stay in port during the BBC. Now everyone will be
shing for three days in a row, which will streamline our tour-
nament. This move also gives businessmen who typically
own these sportshers another day in the ofce to work.
One such angler is Greg Smith of Myrtle Beach, S.C.
who will travel to sh in the Bahamas Billsh Challenge
opener at Guana Cay May 7. We shed this same tour-
nament in 2013 and had a blast, said Smith, who owns
a 56-foot Viking named Blue Sky. We ended up taking
second place and doing pretty well in the calcutta, but
the intangibles are what made us decide to come back
in 2014.
Its just about a two day run from South Carolina to the
Abacos and Capt. Steve Krammer will get the Blue Sky set-
tled in port before my anglers arrive, said Smith. The BBC
demands a registration fee that is substantial, but once we
arrive everything from the Captains bag to the meals and
entertainment are rst class...not to mention the beautiful
setting and the awesome marlin shing not far from port.
In contrast, back in South Carolina its a three-hour com-
mute offshore to the Gulf Stream. Smith is involved as a
board member for the South Carolina Governors Cup Bill-
shing Series, and loves to sh for blue marlin. Imagine the
ports of Guana Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Treasure Cay and
Marsh Harbour lled with boats like Blue Sky all competing
for the overall trophy and championship ring, and you be-
gin to realize why the BBC is 40 years old and going strong.
The tournament schedule for each event begins with a
Captains meeting Wednesday night, followed by three
days shing from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday. An awards banquet Saturday night will recognize the
top anglers and serve to round out the tournament scene
in which anglers, their families and tourists will take part.
The 2014 dates begin in Guana Cay May 7-10, and upon
completion of the four events the overall winners will be
recognized at the nal Saturday awards banquet June 21.
Crews are awarded catch and release points for billsh re-
leases with a blue marlin release awarded the most points.
The BBC requires a 115-inch minimum before a blue marlin
is eligible to weigh in the tournament. So except for a large
blue marlin, the emphasis is on conservation via catch and
release. To learn more about the BBC or to purchase a copy
of their 40-year anniversary DVD, visit the Internet at www.

with a list of items their new boat should include. The boat
would beach and launch easily while avoiding getting stuck
in the soft sand. The Sea Pearl needed leeboards rather than
a centerboard and a kick-up rudder for the Gulfs shallow wa-
ters. Eliminating the centerboard meant no trunk; that in turn
opened the forward cockpit, making it an excellent family
seating area or even a cabin for overnighting. With the op-
tional cabin top or bimini top it also made a great place to
get out of the rain. It also had to be light enough that it could
be towed by anything economically (small four cylinder ve-
hicles included). And nally, they also wanted the vessel to
be light enough to be pushed along at a decent rate with a
small light outboard or rowed if necessary.
The duo started with the hull of a Herreshoff designed
18 foot tender. Johnson added to the design by increasing
the length, and rigging it with twin masts and what ended
up as an unstayed cat-ketch rig. Many other changes came
throughout the years and the end result is todays Sea Pearl.
Jim Leet, Rons brother-in-law, bought the business from
