Basics of Navigation
Lines on the Charts. There are two kinds that we would like to point out. Firstly those lines that go straight up and
down (down and up if you prefer), and then there are those that go straight from right to left, (or left to right if you prefer).
These first ones are called Latitude and Longitude lines. Those lines that run from top to bottom of the chart are called Longitude (please note the are also Longitude lines if they run from bottom to top)….
Solunar Phases and How They Affect Your Fishing
The existence of “solunar periods” – those times when the Earth, Moon and Sun form particular alignments in relation to each other – is a scientifically accepted fact. How the so-called major and minor periods affect the behavior of Earth’s life forms, though, is the subject of much speculation. Opinions range from little or no influence to the belief that these periods comprise the biological clock by which Mother Nature lives…
Cast Net Fishing
Cast Net Fishing: Wherever you may fish, live bait is always the best lure. To save time and money, you need to keep live bait ready. Cast netting is the most efficient tool for catching your own bait. You can also use a cast net to catch shrimp, larger fish, mullet, etc. Cast nets have been used for thousands of years.

Many engine manufacturers recommend an oil change every 100 hours for a gasoline engine but every 50 hours for a diesel. If you are a sailor and only run your engine an hour or less every outing, you will need to change the oil even more frequently! Dirty oil inside your engine sitting idle, can destroy the internal surfaces of the engine. A note to those of you in the snow and ice areas where your boat is put away for the winter; it is imperative for the life of your engine to change the oil BEFORE the boat is put away so that your engine sits over the winter with fresh oil. Even if you do not run your boat for the recommended oil change interval during the season, CHANGE THE OIL BEFORE THE BOAT IS PUT AWAY FOR THE WINTER! Running your engine during the boating season creates acid and water accumulation in the oil. Removing this will extend the life of your engine and transmission. Letting it stay in the…
