THE BUOYS
January is always a very busy month for our Squadron. Just the other day, we had two
ABC classes start with over 65 total students, a seamanship class with 10 students, and a
weekender’s meeting that had 32 members present. That was just the beginning. The
following night, Piloting started, Friday was the Clam & Chicken Night, and the weekenders
outing was Saturday. To finish the month, we still have the squadron work day, the
kayaking monthly outing, and the annual Cape Mates Italian Night. Now that’s what I call
a lot of fun filled month.
February follows with The Annual Meeting on 11 February followed by the Change of Watch on
12 February. It is very important that all members attend the meeting on the 11 th to elect the new
Bridge for 2016-2017. Please see the details on the COW in this issue of THE BUOYS and we look
forward to having a large turnout for this event. Again this year, we are keeping the cost of the COW at
a low $15/person. Come meet members of the District Bridge as they install the new Bridge Officers for
the next year.
Over the next few months you will see some major upgrades to our building. New tables for the ABC
education room have been ordered to increase the capacity of the room. This will also allow us to
replace the old brown tables in the other rooms. We are also currently working on a much needed
project painting the outside of the building. Another project that is being looked at is replacing the doors
on the building. These are important projects that will make our building an even better place to take
classes and enjoy.
Vessel Safety Stickers are in for 2016. It’s time for all members with boats to get them inspected again.
Forms are available in the office and one of our inspectors will come to your home and make sure you
have all the necessary equipment to be safe on the waters.
This is going to be a great year!!
COME FOR THE BOATING EDUCATION… STAY FOR THE FRIENDS

Administrative
As I have taken a part time job as a dockmaster, I see some really, really bad examples of people tying
their boats to a cleat. Not only does this look amateurish, some of these have 2 or 3 Weather Hitches in
them , and are very hard to untie . What, you don’t know what a Weather Hitch is? No problem, read this
great article and learn how really, really easy it is, to properly tie up to the dock.

Cape Mates Auxiliary
Well this is my farewell article. As you have heard the Cape Mates are disbanding as of 1 March.
The Cape Mates have been an invaluable part of the Cape Coral Sail and Power Squadron over the years.
Our building would not exist without their tireless efforts in raising funds to buy it. It wouldn’t look as good
as it does without the Cape Mates. Look around and you will see their work everywhere, from paint to
refrigerators to pavers. And now as we step down we will present our funds to the Commander to provide
the means to paint the outside of the building and replace the front and back doors. As we move forward
we will continue to have our Lunch Bunch and it is now open to all members of CCSAPS.
And I urge all Cape Mates to continue their good work by joining the Entertainment Committee. Thank you
again to all current and past members of the Cape Mates.

Kayak Group
SHELL CREEK - STILL A FAVORITE
Once again Shell Creek did not disappoint. We travelled there on the 29th (not the usual third Tuesday,
due to the holidays) and had a near record turnout, 27 kayakers, including some new folks and some
friends we haven't seen for a while. There was lots of wildlife (notice the gator...that made Dee's day;
and have you seen turtles with their legs outstretched trying to fly?) and untouched natural scenery (can
anyone identify the spectacular white flower?). We paddled further than usual, about 6 miles total. But
since it was up and back on the creek, those who wanted a shorter trip could turn back as they
wished. Those who needed to rent kayaks arranged to have them delivered by Carmen's Kayaks.
All-in-all it was a great day.
There has been interest shown in starting a Saturday kayak group. Some folks cannot go during the
week, and some just want to go more often. If you are interested, contact Dee Wilzoch (239-292-1374)
or Gary Brooks (239-549-1942, [email protected]).
We welcome all paddlers, young and old, beginners or advanced. Ours is a purely recreational
group. We'll help you in any way we can. It's more fun with a group, and we'll show you places you've
never been, places you can only go while paddling. We will explore new places together. In fact, our
tentative plans in January are to try a new launch spot called Liverpool Ramp, near the Peace River.
It has all kinds of possibilities - Hunter Creek, Boggess Lake, Deep Creek, all connected.
If you want more information, call Dee. If you want to be on our e-mail list, contact Gary. We'd like to
have you join us. Bring your friends, even if they are not CCSAPS members
WEEKEND BOATERS
(The Weekenders)
The ‘Weekenders’ are members of the CCSAPS who take lunch trips by boat to various on-the-water
restaurants on Saturdays (for those who can’t go during the week).
Our ‘follow me’ trips are a great way to learn the local waters and practice safe boating.
The planning meetings on the Monday evening before the Saturday trips offer additional boating
instruction and great conversation. Come join us. Let’s talk!
Please look for our meeting dates on 'The Buoys' calendar.

Fishing Club
Mike Shelton from Snook Hut, Jan 12, 2015 Night Fishing Snook
90% of snook are in mangroves. 10% at bridges. Night time best in summer.
Water temp is 90°. Snook hide under bushes to stay cool and come out at night
to eat. Snook and redfish are less cautious at night.
You don’t have to fish too close to bushes, 3-8 ft is good. This applies all the time,
in any season.
Snook fishing is the same as large mouth bass fishing. Snook are an ambush predator. They strike from
below. 2ft or less water is good. White bait is best if you are using live bait. Get to your spot and listen
for mullet jumping. The snook will be with them. (Mullet eat detritus, which is plant material, etc. They
root up the bottom and kick out shrimp and other animals the snook eat.)
Topwater lures work great. Use ones with a rattle, and make sure the rear of the lure hangs lower than
the front. (This will help you get redfish, which have an inferior, or downward facing mouth.) Rattle: no
ripples, no rattle, the larger the ripples, the louder the rattle. Don’t use too loud a rattle; mullet will
dispurse, there goes your fishing. In daytime, don’t fish silver/black lure in mullet school, it’s the same
color as the mullet! Reel in slowly, walking the dog. Twitch rod left and right, reel in slack.
Snook make a loud POP when feeding. A high pitched pop is a smaller fish. A deep pop is a bigger fish.
Snook take bait hard! A uni knot is best to attach your hook.
Advantages of a short, 6-6.5ft rod: you can skip bait better with a short rod, you are close anyway! They
get caught less in car doors. They are more accurate. Less High-Sticking (when you get fish to boat, you
hold rod vertically, and tip bends over. Longer rods tend to snap off at tip). Mike uses 8-17 lb rods with
10 lb braid and 20lb leader. He has 2 identical rods, rigged the same, so they cast the same in he dark.
Lures: Lucky Craft bone color bass lure, rattles. Live Target Bait, rubber fish. Savage Gear Mudd Minnow,
Top water lure. VUDU 3.5” mullet, realistic looking rubber lure. Heddon Super Snook Jr, color bone. Lure
color does not matter at night, although dark blue or black may present a better silhouette.
Bugs: Spray your hat with 100% deet. DO NOT PUT ON YOUR SKIN! Wear long sleeve micro fiber cloth
tee shirt. Use regular OFF on exposed skin. Baby oil on exposed skin will kill No-See-Ums.
Other notes.
Using lights will not scare the fish.
Use pinfish for reds. Pinfish swim down where redfish feed. Use a jig head placed thru the anus, and trim
the tail. The pinfish will be unhappy and make a lot of vibrations, attracting feeding fish.
Redfish and mullet both ‘tail’; tail sticks out of water when feeding on bottom. To tell apart, mullet move
their tails fast, and redfish flop slowly from side to side.
Trout do not hide in bushes because snook will eat 12” trout. When they get large, around 2 feet, they
are known as ‘gator trout’, and will hide in the bushes.
Best times to fish: Winter, last 2 hours of light. Water is at it’s warmest.
Summer, last 2 hours of dark, water is at it’s coolest.
How to see if Lake O releases are screwing up your fishing. There should be salt water up near the 41/75
bridges. If too much released, it will be fresh in the river and canals. Fish can live in this water no
problem. BAIT CANNOT. When the fish find nothing to eat, they leave.. In the canals, in January we
should be having great Sheepshead fishing, but we don’t . There is no bait, plus fresh water kills
barnacles, which the Sheepsheads eat.
Check the amount of water released yesterday. Low to mid 300-700 thousand gal is ok, over mid million
to 500 million is bad.
Reel drag: on flats use a looser drag so fish can run. In mangroves, use tight drag so fish don’t go into
mangroves and get tangled.
