THE BUOYS
Commander
THIS IS OUR SQUADRON
This is the most important principle that will drive this coming year. It is not the
Commander’s Squadron nor is it the Bridge’s Squadron. It is everyone’s Squadron no
matter if you have been a member for a week or 25 years. Everyone has a say in what we
do. This then means that it everyone’s responsibility to be a part of the Squadron in some way. Take a
class, teach a class, go boating with either the C&R group or the weekenders, join the fun by kayaking,
learn to sail, help plan a party, attend a party, help with the building maintenance, attend group meetings
and the general monthly meetings, do vessel inspections, go on a coop charting run. These are just a
sample of the many fun and enjoyable activities we have. I have already heard from some of our
members about other activities that may be of interest to other members. Please bring me your ideas.
For those members that have not taken the Seamanship Class, please consider doing it this year. ABC
was a great beginning class, but Seamanship fills in the gaps. It is also the most fun class you will ever
take. Get your friends and take it together. Ask any of us that have taken this class. It’s a must even
though you may never venture past Sanibel Island.
Our retention of new members is not good to say the least. A lot of work has already been done to
analyze why this is true, and how to fix it. The biggest way to retain members is to get them involved
right away, and to feel part of our Squadron. If you see someone you do not know, please introduce
yourself to them.
Your new bridge is looking forward to a great year. P/C John Hodgkinson is our new Executive Officer,
Lt/C John Hurtt is the new Administrative Officer, and Lt/C Marge Maciag is the new Education Officer.
Continuing their services is Lt/C Michele Garrels as Secretary, and Lt/C Yoseph Tedros is our Treasurer.
Please plan on attending the next General Meeting on 13 March. I have asked each member of the Bridge
to prepare a short introduction.
See you on 13 March.
Cdr Steven Gustafson, P
Life Jacket Loaner Program
This program is a valuable public service.
Please pass the word among your boating friends that lifejackets are available to
borrow at the Squadron, at no cost, for visiting children or grandchildren.

THE BUOYS
Executive Officer
Hello everyone,
Let me begin by thanking you, the membership, for having enough confidence
(however misplaced) to allow me to serve as your Executive Officer (XO) for the
coming watch year. I will do my best to meet your expectations and justify your
faith in my ability not to screw up any worse than last time.
Those of you to whom baseball is a religion will know of Yogi Berra, the New York Yankees catcher, who
had a unique way of destroying the English language. Under the circumstances I feel honor bound to use
one of his quotes or rather misquotes: “it’s just like déjà vu all over again.”
Six years ago I had the honor to serve as Dan Tuller’s XO and in all modesty I have to say that we made a
fair team (The British always understate and put comments in parentheses) and I am very much looking
forward to working as part of the team again with Steve Gustafson.
Having had some experience with Commanders both good and bad, let me say that Steve has demonstrated all the personal qualities one looks for in someone taking up this challenging position and it is
unfortunate that Lou Simmon’s plans did not allow him to serve on the team as XO this year.
So what does the XO actually do?
Officially his department is responsible for activities outside the Squadron, and, given the team I have
inherited that means letting them do what they know how to do well and basically keep out of the way.
Over the past month or so key members of the Executive department have had the opportunity to put
forward their ideas of how things could be improved within their committees in an attempt to create an
organization that pretty much runs itself without the need of constant oversight. This of course can only be
achieved if everyone understands the part they play within the system and great effort has been and will
be put into making sure that this does, in fact, happen.
Harold Garrells, the Public Relations (PR) chair, has taken a leading role in this effort and some of the most
obvious changes are associated with his committee. In addition to his activities as chairman he will also act
as the channel to the website, so if you want something posted or see a glitch, contact Harold and he will
handle it.
Communication links with outside organizations and agencies can, at times, can be fragile and need to be
carefully managed. To that end Barry Wood comes on board as chair of Community Relations subcommittee. All editorial matter going to the media will be channeled through him to Craig Sanquist who
comes on board to handle media relations. In addition Barry will act as the first link in the approval chain
for all new Squadron literature.
Lou Simmons, as before, will act as our channel to the city, county and federal agencies as well and will
continue as Sea Scout liaison.
Carol Peterson joins the Department as the XO’s assistant and will be responsible among many other
things for maintaining the New Member Database (NMD) that will prove critical in our future management
of new member activities.
I think that’s enough boring stuff for one month, sadly, I have no interesting stuff until next month (He
lied glibly) so you will just have to wait.
Seriously though, all this effort is designed to create a Squadron structure that will work smoothly and
endure great stress. As any engineer will tell you (given half the chance), “get the basic design right and
you can handle the details later, get it wrong and no amount of adjustment will make it work.”
Just look at Washington.

THE BUOYS
Squadron Education Officer
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Marge Maciag
and I have been a member of the Cape Coral Sail and Power Squadron for 5 years
and have recently been appointed as your Squadron Education Officer (SEO). I am
excited to serve in this role and look forward to working with our current and future
instructors, my assistants, and the youth and adults in our squadron and community.
I have spent my teaching career educating children with special needs. I am currently working at
Hancock Creek Elementary as a Life Skills teacher in third, fourth, and fifth grades. I LOVE teaching!
I feel that it is the teacher’s responsibility to present material in a manner that will allow each individual
to reach their maximum performance level. I hope that my enthusiasm for education inspires you to set
a goal for yourself this year. What will that be? If you would like to discuss this or have questions, give
me a call. I would be happy to speak with you! My home phone number is 471-0101.
In addition to our ABC courses, there will be 3 advanced courses offered during the 2014 winter/spring
session. Please refer to the chart below for more information.
1: Piloting – This is an advanced course and recommended for all new members. Why Piloting?
Because one of the principal goals of the Squadron is to be an organization of safe boaters. Our members
should lead by example and the skills learned in Piloting will go a long way in helping members become
knowledgeable and safe boaters.
2: Cruise Planning –This course has not been offered in our Squadron for some time and presents
an opportunity not only for members who want to strive for the SN grade, but also for members who do
some cruising. How much cruising? Any cruising – whether it is a trip with the C and R group or the
weekenders to those who will do extended cruising for weeks or more.
3: Sail – This is another elective course and also a requisite for achieving a full certificate. It is a
particularly useful course for all members who sail or would like familiarity with sailing. It starts with
basic sailboat designs and nomenclature, rigging, safety, and sail processes and then tackles the physical
aspects of sailing forces and techniques, sail applications, marlinespike, helmsmanship and handling of
more difficult sailing conditions, navigation rules, and an introduction to heavy weather sailing.
Each course will last approximately 10 – 12 weeks. It’s not too late to register. Use the coupon

THE BUOYS
Administrative Officer
In my first article for THE BUOYS, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce
myself. My name is John Hurtt and I moved to Cape Coral from California with my wife,
Kay in 2005. Most of my working career was spent in California, but I wasn’t raised there. Both Kay
and I are originally from Idaho. She is from Northern Idaho and I am from Southern Idaho. I grew up
in a little town west of Boise called Parma. There are probably more people in jail in Lee County than
live in Parma. I went to the University of Idaho in Moscow – yes, there is a Moscow, Idaho.
After graduation and a stint in the Army, I took a job in Northern California. In 1972 my company
transferred me to Tacoma, Washington. I spent 12 years there in the rainy, foggy, damp, weather.
Fortunately I had an opportunity to move back to California where I lived until I retired and moved to
Florida. I always get the same question: “Why move from the California paradise to the Florida
paradise?” The answer. Why not?
Lt/C John Hurtt, S
Cape Mates Auxiliary
The Change of Watch is over once again, and we start a new year with a new Squadron
Bridge.
The Cape Mates would like to congratulate the Commander upon his election and we wish him and his
Bridge Officers all the best for 2014-2015. I would also like to wish the very best to the Cape Mates new
Officers, who are:
Vice President: Helen Gustafson
Secretary: Barbara Magner
Treasurer: Shirley Wood
Also, I would like to thank the Cape Mates Nominating Committee and Membership for my appointment;
I just hope I can exceed their expectations, plus also a job well done to the retiring Cape Mates officers,
namely Joy Dawson who always managed to do an excellent job with the Minutes and Jan Roller who
worked tirelessly as Vice President; a lot of work and imagination went into all of our members efforts, and
hopefully I can rely on them in the future.
We have changed our meetings around a little, the Board Meeting will be on the second Thursday of the
Month, commencing at 1800 in Room 107, followed by the General Membership Meeting commencing at
1930. This way if any member wishes to attend the Squadron’s Lite Bites that night they can do so, and
this way also you can ride in with your spouse if they wish to attend the Squadron’s General Meeting.
Our membership is open to anyone who enjoys friendship, volunteering, and enjoyment. Our dues are only
$10.00 a year (that’s right ladies and gentlemen, only 83 cents a month). YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A
MEMBER OF THE SQUADRON TO JOIN THE CAPE MATES. We are always looking for new members with
fresh ideas for our fund raising efforts or even a dinner/theater matinee etc. etc. If you would like to
become a member of the Cape Mates, please call Mary Lou Battistini on 239-549-8609 (Membership
Chair).
Our Awards Luncheon will be held on 15 March (at Fletchers); If you would like to attend please contact
Jody Garmon at 239-945-2661. Our Lunch Bunch will be on 18 March at Rum Runners and if you would
like to join us please call Joy Dawson on 471-2639.
Please keep all of our Cape Mates in your prayers, and God Bless our Troops for helping to keep us safe.
Dates to Remember:
13 March: Board Meeting: 1800 in room 107
General Meeting: 1930
15 March: Awards luncheon: 1200 noon at Fletchers
18 March: Lunch Bunch 1130 at Rum Runners

everyone who helped to make this night unforgettable. We had so many helpers it would
be impossible to name you all, but your efforts did not go unnoticed, and were very much appreciated.
We even managed to get entertainment that night provided by Chris Carroll’s brother who came all the
way from Germany just to play for us!!
Until next year!!
JUST TO REITERATE OUR MEETINGS WILL NOW BE HELD ON THE SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH
WITH THE BOARD MEETING STARTING AT 1800 IN ROOM 107 AND THE MEMBERSHIP MEETING

THE BUOYS
Fishing Group


Business Items
 Welcome new members: David & Sue Ellen Sim and Roger Stewart
 Capt. Wayne Dutton of Cape Coral Tool & Tackle will be holding a general meeting on “Okeechobee
water release” March 22nd. He plans to have local State Representatives and Senators and representative from water quality agencies, and FW representatives. Mark your calendars. We need a good
turn out to demonstrate our concern of the impact of the high volume water releases. I will send out
further details as they become available. Rally your friends and neighbors for this event. SW FL has
not been as well represented at previous events as SE FL. Water releases to SE FL have been significantly less the SW FL releases. Their voices had results, unfavorable to SW FL.
 The Cape Coral Tarpon Hunters club will be holding their annual February Tarpon Seminar February 20
(7:00 pm) at the Yacht Club. This seminar is open to the general public as well as those that wish to
join their club. The seminar will cover a broad number of topics including rigs, bait, rods/reels, lines,
etc. This seminar is one of the most complete seminars you will find on Tarpon Fishing, and specifically
Tarpon fishing in this area.
 The Mariner HS Athletic Booster Club will be hosting an Open Bass Tournament at Lake Kennedy
March 30th. The proceeds of this tournament will support their goal of a full college scholarship. Entry
fee is $100.00 per boat. 1st prize is 1,000.00. I know that there are not a lot of bass fishermen in our
fishing group. But for the few, an opportunity to support a good cause.
 Top Spot Maps - All fishing group members are encouraged to bring their Top Spot maps to meetings
so they can ask and mark specific locations.
 All fishing group members are asked to give myself, Tom Callanan, or Harry Instase feed back on
speakers and speaker subject matter. We have had 6 really good speakers over the pass 6 months.
With a little help – I need some help - we will post the notes from these speaker presentations.
 Lastly, a cleaning product review. Capt. Steve Ware mentioned a hull cleaning product – Power One
– for cleaning hull stains. I know you, along with me, fight the stains we get from our waters. This
product is by far the best that I have tried, and it meets Dade County chemical discharge requirements. The only place that this product is available in the area (to my knowledge) is Ace Hardware.
It costs $20 a quart, $30 gallon. The catch is that Ace Hardware normally does not carry the gallon
size. However, they will order the gallon size upon request.
Guest Speaker
The speaker this month is one our own – Keith Copersmet. Keith, due to a shoulder issue, Keith can not
throw a cast net for bait. To compensate, he has refinded his “sabiki rig” technique to an art. The following
are the highlights of Keith’s and his friend “New York John” presentation on sabiki rigs and other topics:
 Throw away your “cheap” sabiki rigs and get the “Profession Quality Rig” from Bass Pro Shops. For
just a few $ more, but your increased bait catches will be significantly.
 Keith uses the Bass Pro sabiki rod from Bass Pro shops. This is an internal rod that stores the rig
within the pole. This set up eliminates the tangles you get with an exposed set up. The pole is ~$80
at Bass Pro Shops.
 Keith has added a Velcro stripe to cover the end of the rig in order to secure the weight and rig. During fishing time, the rig’s exposed lead leads to bad things.
 When you feel the 1st bite, do not jerk. Wait for multiple hook ups. Keith feels that he can catch a
many bait from his sabiki rig as others can catch from cast nets.
 Keith tips his sabiki hooks with squid pieces. It stays on the hook and really attracts the bait bites.
 Gag Grouper love pin fish (Keith reminded us this several times)
 It is best if 2 people unhook the bait. One holds the weight end, the other keeps the line tight and unhooks the bait.
 If the lure sticks in the rod, use a wire leader to free the rig.
 To make the sabiki rig work, you need good bait attractant
 For bait attractant, Keith uses Capt. Van’s Super Bait Attractor. Read the instructions. The end product looks like grits.
 Keith also utilizes ice cubes with a simple ice tray.
 His ice tray formula is: Capt. Van’s mix slightly over half full, 1 table spoon of bread crumbs, play
sand (very important), and water to fill the tray.

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.

Keep the frozen cubes in zip locks.
Chum for bait, and chum for target fish.
Chum, chum, chum. Also, chum with the bait you caught.
Chum, chum, chum.
If your chum does not attract the target fish (or bait), move to a different spot.
Keith uses the 15 minute rule. No fish or no bait, move.
Keith matches the sabiki rig with 6# mono or braid and a spinning reel. It does not need to be a
really good spinning reel.
Good spots
 Keith fishes mainly from Pineland Marina
 For bait, back side of Cayo Costa – Finger Sand Bar. Also, Pelican Bay and marker 71.
 Other bait spots – White Light House @ Boca Grande
 Gag group love large pin fish. Redfish love small pin fish.
Other fishing information
 Top Map give you coordinates
 Likes fishing for redfish on a popping cork
 Likes Redfish and Cayo Costa Passes
 Really likes Cotee jigs. Keith stated that he has been outfished too many time by someone fishing
the Cotee jig. What’s special – he does not know. It just works.
 Break off the head of a shrimp and attach to the Cotee jig
 Sometimes plastic gets the bites
 He likes Zman with superglue on the jigs. Also, superglue is great for small cuts. Keep in your
first aid kit.
 Likes Zman’s paddle tail
 Use Pro Cure as an attractant – really likes Pro Cure.
 Fishing spots – Burnt Store, Turtlebay, and Smoke House Bay.
 Be careful on the depth of Smoke House Bay.
 Chum, Chum, chum. If no bites, move in 15 minutes.
 Keith’s favorite shore fishing spot is Bowman Beach. He takes his wife to the beach and shore
fishes. How bad can this be. He fishes and his wife enjoys the beach.

Kayaking Group
CCSAPS Kayakers met at the home of Dee Wilzoch on 5 February and proceeded in
a group to Ponce De Leon park in Punta Gorda. There we launched twenty Kayaks
and found the most beautiful mangrove canals. After kayaking about two and a half
hours, all of us joined our kayaks in the middle of the waterway and had our lunches. As we returned in
a caravan of beautiful and bright color kayaks, even the giant blue herons stood in awe. We made quite
a spectacular sight. Some visitors at the park commented on how beautiful and colorful the kayaks
looked.
Hope to see you all at our next kayak expedition
