Late
summer Vacation
This past week I had the opportunity to head up to
Hatteras, North Carolina for a little rest and relation as the
summer draws to a close. Five good friends of mine and I left
Charleston at 1 am on Sunday morning and arrived at Cedar Island
Ferry at 6:45 am. The ferry ride cost $15.00 and took just over
2-hours. (Note: Advanced reservations are recommended for this ferry
call1-800-By-Ferry). The ferry ride gave us plenty of time to
recharge the batteries and eat a little breakfast that we had
packed. We landed on Ocracoke Island, drove across the island and
hopped a free 30-minute ferry from Ocracoke to Hatteras Island. By
noon we were at the historic Buxton Lighthouse where we jumped in
the water and surfed till dinner time.

Labor Day Marks Start
of Fall Boating Season:
Small Boat and Cold Weather Safety Tips from BoatUS Foundation
Labor Day marks the start of the fall boating season, a
time for cooler temperatures, uncrowded waterways, and great
fishing. But this time of year also brings its own unique safety
challenges, especially for boaters or anglers in smaller craft, says
the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water.
"There are reasons why October and November are the
deadliest months of the year for boaters," said BoatUS Foundation
Director of Boating Safety Chris Edmonston, referring to the newly
released, US Coast Guard's 2008 Recreational Boating Statistics.
"However, the good news is that there are some common-sense steps
that may prevent a small mishap from becoming serious," he added.
Here are some 2008 US Coast Guard statistics along with
some fall boating season safety tips:
-
While there are more
accidents in the summer months when recreational boating is in
full swing, the odds of dying if you are in an accident go up in
the months of October and November. The reason? Being unprepared
for the conditions. (22% and 25% of all accidents in these
months respectively result in deaths.)
-
Statistics also show
over half of all boating deaths occur with small boats. That's
because they are usually open to the elements and more
vulnerable to wind, waves, and swamping.
-
Cold water quickly
saps away your strength. Wearing a life jacket could give you
the time you need to safely re-board if you accidentally fall
overboard. Also ensure you have a means to quickly get back
aboard without assistance, such as a ladder or even a dockline
(Over two-thirds of all fatal boating accidents victims drowned
and of these, 90% were not wearing a life jacket).
-
Don't let the sunny
skies fool you. Dress appropriately and recognize that even
slight changes in the weather can make hypothermia a real threat
if you are not prepared.
-
In the fall there
are very few fellow boaters and anglers near by - your closest
potential rescuers. Without the help of fellow boaters, your
float plan is your only back-up. Share with a family member or
trusted friend where you plan to go and when you expect to
return, so they may notify authorities if you are overdue
returning.
-
A VHF radio is a
must. Depending on where you are, a cell phone or personal
locator beacon may be additional pieces of important
communication gear
DNR Courtesy Boating
Inspections Set During Labor Day Weekend
In an effort to keep state waterways safe during the upcoming Labor
Day holiday weekend, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Law
Enforcement Division will again be conducting courtesy safety
inspections at some public boat landings.
S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) boating safety and
enforcement officers will perform a quick, but thorough, inspection
for items such as required safety equipment and proper boat and
motor registration. Those who are not in compliance with safety
regulations or registration requirements will not be ticketed during
the complimentary inspections. Instead, they will be given an
opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boat.
DNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give
boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water.
To report boating violations such as reckless operation or an
intoxicated boat operator, call the DNR toll-free, 24-hour hotline
at 1-800-922-5431. For a copy of South Carolina's boating
regulations, to find out about local boating safety courses or to
obtain a free float plan form contact the DNR Boating Safety Office
at 1-800-277-4301 or visit the DNR Web site at
www.dnr.sc.gov/boating .

The Final Word |
While the
cooler temperatures are welcomed by most of us, the rain and
north easterly winds from the low pressure system that moved
across the lowcountry made it a little difficult to fish
this week. Offshore waters have been fairly churned up, so
few have made it out. Water temperatures remain the in the
low to mid-eighties so when the ocean does calm down there
will still be lots of nice Kings to chase, some great
Sailfish action is as close as 50 to 60-feet, some nice
Dolphin and plenty of Barracuda.
Inshore action remains good with some nice Tarpon still
showing up. The tides have been perfect the week for tailing
reds in the grass on DOA shrimp, jerk baits, and spoons. The
Trout bite remains good, with some nice fish over 16-inches
being caught early morning and late afternoon on topwater
such as Zara Spooks. The Spadefish remain at the reef and
the Sheepshead are at the jetties and around other structure
in the harbor. Enjoy some cooler temps and get on em’!
Tight
lines…
