In addition to this, there are times when we are required to fish with circle hooks, either by government regulations or by tournament rules. For these reasons, anglers have come up with a number of ways to rig ballyhoo with circle hooks. Many ways have been used to rig a ballyhoo to skip with a circle hook. A naked, skipping ballyhoo is a wonderful billfish bait but my absolute, favorite bait for white marlin is a naked, swimming ballyhoo.\r\n\r\nTo get a ballyhoo to swim with a J-hook, the classic split-bill rig is used. Trying to rig a split-bill ballyhoo with a circle hook does not work very well so other rigging techniques have been developed to get a ballyhoo to swim with a circle hook. One way is to use a swivel attached to the head of the ballyhoo. The circle hook is run through the ring of swivel. This rig swims great and it is an excel- lent fish catcher. A problem with it is that the ring on the swivel and the hook have to be perfectly matched. If the ring is too small, you cannot get the barb off the hook to slide through it. If the ring is too big, you risk the hook sliding out of the ring during your drop back. The solution to this is to get rid of the swivel. You can just use a loop in rigging wire in place of the swivel. The rigging wire is attached to the bend in the hook via a haywire twist. The loop is loose enough to allow the circle hook to move but small enough so that it cannot slide over the shank of the hook. This is another great rigging technique which also has a problem. Sometimes, the rigging wire will fatigue and break. This typically will happen at just the wrong moment.\r\n\r\nWhile helping Dr. John Graves of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science with his study of white marlin, I have been fortunate to spend a fair amount of time fishing with some of the best captains and mates in the world. These guys can rig a ballyhoo anyway you can think of and we have tried most of them. While fishing off of Venezuela, we learned another circle hook swimming rig. It has become my favorite for a number of reasons. It is simple to rig. It does not matter what hook you use which was a real advantage when we kept changing hooks as part of the study. Hooks do not fall out during drop back and there is no wire to fatigue and break.\r\n\r\n[gallery link=\"file\" columns=\"3\"]\r\n\r\nPrepare your ballyhoo how you normally prepare it for rigging. Remove the eyes. You can snip off the pectoral fins. I usually leave them alone as long as they are positioned normally along the body. If they are stuck forward, I cut them off. Cut or break the bill off square leaving about 1⁄2 inch of bill remaining. To rig your ballyhoo you simply need a piece of waxed rigging floss about twenty inches long and an egg sinker of 1/4 to 1/3 ounce to use for a chin weight. Fold the floss in half and tie an overhand knot at the tag end. Thread the loop end through the egg sinker and you are ready to rig your ballyhoo. Slide the loop over the head of the ballyhoo. Pass the floss under the gill plates on both sides. Position the egg sinker under the ballyhoo’s chin. Slide the tag end of your floss over the bill. Pull the tag ends apart and the knot will slide down, snug it up. Make sure the sinker is centered and the knot ties the mouth closed.\r\n\r\nNow, pass each tag end through the eyes from opposite sides and form another overhand knot with the tag ends under the ballyhoo. Pull the tag ends apart and snug the knot down behind the sinker. Form another overhand knot and snug it down again. Cut off the tag ends and you are ready to go fishing.\r\n\r\nYou now have a chin weighted ballyhoo with a harness. To fish it, simply slide your hook behind the harness where the knot is sitting on top of the ballyhoo’s mouth.\r\n\r\nYou can rig a bunch of these ahead of time and it does not matter which circle or even a J-hook that you are going to use. Ballyhoo rigged like this have proven to be very effective on sailfish, white marlin and blue marlin. It is easy to rig and it swims well. The next time you are fishing for billfish, give it a try.','Swim a Circle Hook','','publish','open','open','','swim-a-circle-hook','','','2013-04-02 12:57:29','2013-04-02 16:57:29','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=55',75,'post','',0),(17,1,'2011-10-17 21:31:33','2011-10-17 21:31:33','','Home','','publish','open','closed','','home-2','','','2014-04-03 16:09:13','2014-04-03 20:09:13','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=17',1,'nav_menu_item','',0),(18,1,'2011-10-17 21:31:33','2011-10-17 21:31:33','','About Us','','publish','open','closed','','18','','','2014-04-03 16:09:13','2014-04-03 20:09:13','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=18',2,'nav_menu_item','',0),(19,1,'2011-10-17 21:31:33','2011-10-17 21:31:33','','Contact Us','','publish','open','closed','','19','','','2014-04-03 16:09:13','2014-04-03 20:09:13','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=19',3,'nav_menu_item','',0),(23,1,'2011-10-17 21:33:31','2011-10-17 21:33:31','<script>\r\n  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[\'GoogleAnalyticsObject\']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){\r\n  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),\r\n  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)\r\n  })(window,document,\'script\',\'//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js\',\'ga\');\r\n\r\n  ga(\'create\', \'UA-48681582-1\', \'coastalmariner.com\');\r\n  ga(\'send\', \'pageview\');\r\n\r\n</script>','Advertise','','publish','open','open','','advertise','','','2014-03-05 08:46:06','2014-03-05 13:46:06','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?page_id=23',0,'page','',0),(24,1,'2011-10-17 21:33:21','2011-10-17 21:33:21','','Auto Draft','','inherit','open','open','','23-revision-v1','','','2011-10-17 21:33:21','2011-10-17 21:33:21','',23,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=24',0,'revision','',0),(180,1,'2011-12-05 18:37:55','2011-12-05 18:37:55','Americans consume more than a billion pounds of shrimp a year. It’s readily available, relatively inexpensive, versatile and low-fat.\r\n\r\nFew people know that there are about six distinct species commonly sold in the United States, not including Maine sweet shrimp which unfortunately are very rarely seen for sale. The season for Maine shrimp is mid-winter, sometime between November and March. Maine shrimp are very small shrimp, so sweet and tender that they can be eaten raw, and once in a while, sushi bars will have them. If you ever come upon them , buy several pounds. They can be cooked or eaten raw, and freeze well.\r\n\r\nAnother sought after shrimp is the Gulf white shrimp which are usually the most expensive and frequently the best, but nowadays the black tiger shrimp, which are farmed, are extremely popular and totally acceptable.\r\n\r\nAlmost all shrimp sold in the Northeast is frozen. Flash-frozen shrimp can be delicious when handled and stored properly. Modern improved freezing technology has made fresh shrimp increasingly rare, and it is safe to say that almost any shrimp you buy has been frozen and thawed by retailer or chef. Shrimp farmers maintain that farm-raised shrimp are more consistently good because they are harvested when ready to pack and are packed right before shipping. The shelf life of previously frozen shrimp is not much more than a couple of days, so buying thawed shrimp gives you neither the flavor of fresh nor the flexibility of frozen.\r\n\r\nTo improve the flavor and texture of shrimp give them a simple brine. This also helps to defrost them quickly. Put your frozen shrimp in a bowl of cold water. For a pound of shrimp add about a half of a cup of kosher salt ( regular salt can be used also ). Exact measurements are not necessary. Brining does not make the shrimp salty. Brine the shrimp for about an hour, stirring once in awhile to dissolve the ice on the shrimp. Rinse them off and they’re ready to be cooked. You will especially notice the difference in taste and texture if you are using the shrimp for something as simple as boiled shrimp. \r\n\r\nShrimp are categorized by size. Labeling them small, medium, large, jumbo, etc. is subjective and relative. A better way to choose the size is by the number of shrimp it takes to make a pound. Shrimp marked 16/20 for example require 16 to 20 shrimp to make a pound. Those labeled U-10 for example (the U means under) requires that fewer than 10 shrimp make up a pound, so obviously these are larger shrimp. Shrimp from 15 to 30 shrimp a pound are the best all around choices. Remember, the smaller the shrimp the more work it is to peel them. I personally like the two- pound bags of frozen shrimp labeled 21-25.\r\n\r\nBuying seafood in local supermarkets has become extremely popular. Most of the shrimp is available in two-pound bags. If two pounds of shrimp are too much for you, take out the amount you want, close the bag tightly, put it in another self-sealing plastic bag and it will last for a couple of weeks in the freezer. When purchasing the shrimp, make sure the shrimp are completely frozen, and if not, ask the person taking care of the seafood department to go into the freezer for your shrimp. If you see a lot of ice in the bag, it means the shrimp has been defrosted during handling and then refrozen. In that case the quality has already deteriorated. You don’t want to purchase that shrimp. \r\n\r\nThe bagged shrimp will most likely have the shell on, but split, and it will be deveined which saves a lot of work and means that black line which is the intestinal tract has been removed. Some people think that you can get ill from eating that intestinal tract. It may not be aesthetically pleasing but it is harmless. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be invited to a Southern shrimp boil, the shrimp are boiled and poured out on a table lined with newspaper and no one even thinks about deveining the shrimp. The only exception is in very large shrimp. If the vein is thick, visible and black you may want to remove it.\r\n\r\n\r\nClams\r\n\r\nClams are readily available all year round. They conjure up pictures of lazy summer days sitting at an outdoor clam bar after a day at the beach and devouring plate after plate of these succulent bivalves moments after they have been taken out of their icy bed and shucked. All they need is a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dab of spicy cocktail sauce. It doesn’t get any better than that!!\r\n\r\nThe most popular clams for serving raw on the half shell are littlenecks. They are the smallest Atlantic hard-shell clam. They must measure at least an inch from the point of the hinge to the top. Two-inch littlenecks are sometimes called topnecks. They are delicious raw and both of these clams are excellent broiled. Cherrystone clams are the next largest clam and can be eaten raw on the half shell and are also good chopped, seasoned, replaced in the shell and baked. Chowder clams are just that - they are mainly used for chowder. The clams can be opened raw or steamed to open and then chopped for chowders and clam pies. And now we come to the well-known soft-shell clam, the steamer. These are best steamed and eaten after a dunk into their clam broth to clean any sand left on them and then a dip into some melted butter. They are also excellent fried. Clam strips come from the steamer. The strips are the meat on the sides of the clam, but when you see them on a menu, fresh, fried whole-bellied clams are a real treat if you are a clam lover. \r\n\r\nIf you do not dig your own clams, and don’t have a generous friend who does, you’ll have to head to the fish market. Fresh clams come to market in the shell or already shucked. Clams should be firmly closed and odorless. If a clam is slightly opened, pinch it closed. If it remains closed on it’s own, it’s alive. If it remains open, discard it. Sometimes a clam will be bad even if it is alive. When you open it raw, the smell gives it away. When fresh, clams should be juicy and have a mild, briny aroma.  Softshell clams, whose shells never close, will draw back their longneck into their shell when you touch them. If the neck is hanging limply, discard that clam. To store clams, keep them in the refrigerator in a large, loosely covered container or in a large plastic bag punched with ventilation holes. Clams need air to survive. If you are purchasing clams at the market, make sure the bag has air holes even if you are not far from home. \r\n\r\nWhen you are ready to prepare your clams, scrub the shells under cold running water with a stiff vegetable brush. Discard any with broken or gaping shells. There is a difference of opinion whether to soak clams in some water for awhile with a little cornmeal to make them expel any sand. Don’t bother with the corn meal, put them in a colander which is in a pot of cold water and ice for about a half hour. Then remove them from the water and refrigerate if not ready to use them. Clams that are left to rest and are not disturbed open easier than clams that have been tossed around. If you have never opened clams the best way to learn is to observe someone who does. Many fish markets will open your clams for you if you give them some notice. Make sure they also give you the delicious clam liquid.','The Versatile Shrimp','','inherit','open','open','','177-revision-2','','','2011-12-05 18:37:55','2011-12-05 18:37:55','',177,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=180',0,'revision','',0),(179,1,'2011-12-05 18:38:50','2011-12-05 18:38:50',' ','','','publish','open','closed','','179','','','2014-11-18 11:37:23','2014-11-18 16:37:23','',7,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=179',32,'nav_menu_item','',0),(1860,6,'2013-04-02 10:48:01','2013-04-02 14:48:01','','Premium Yacht & Boat Listings','','inherit','closed','closed','','1859-revision-v1','','','2013-04-02 10:48:01','2013-04-02 14:48:01','',1859,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/1859-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(75,1,'2011-06-01 17:41:42','2011-06-01 17:41:42','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-76\" title=\"braid dorado teaser\" src=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/braid.gif\" alt=\"braid dorado teaser\" width=\"331\" height=\"191\" />The Braid Dorado Teaser is designed look like a small Dorado.

Umbrella Rigs are either loved or hated by fisherman up and down the coast. But when the fishing is tough, you will not find a better solution to catching stripers anywhere. Why do the professionals use them day in and day out? Because they catch fish!!\n\nThe purpose of the umbrella rig is to simulate a small pod of bait, being chased by one or two larger baits. That\'s it, now picture 3, 4, 5, 6, or up to 12 or more of these Umbrella Rigs in the water at one time. That is a big school of fish chasing your boat. They are definitely attention-getters.\n\nThere all kinds of Umbrella Rigs showing up from ultra big to really small. Using the larger Umbrellas does create more stress to your trolling outfit, so stout poles and good reels should be deployed when hooking up to a umbrella frame.\n\nMost frames that we use are 20 inches in length, which allows you to set the Umbrella up as a Single drop, (Using one Lure down the middle), or the very popular double drop, (Using two lures, one on the end of each frame). You double your chances of catching two fish at one time using the double drop umbrella rig.\n\nGo on just about any Charter Boat on the Chesapeake Bay that fishes umbrella rigs and the plastic shad bodies on the frames will usually be only 2 colors. white and chartreuse. You will also find only 2 sizes of the shad bodies 6\" for teasers, and 9\" to go on the lures, the 9\" shads will also have stinger hooks placed in the shad, as most fish seem to come off this last hook.\n\nFishing theses types of rigs does require some thought, the time of year, and the area you fish in, and undoubtedly a good depth finder. In the spring time, most of the stripers in the Chesapeake Bay are up high in the water column, and most umbrellas are deployed from top of water down to 35 feet down give or take, and in the fall / winter on the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, we try to cover ever aspect of the water depth. \n\n(Top to Bottom)\nTo accomplish the different depths needed to catch these stripers, some umbrellas can be deployed using just the weight of the frame and the lures attached to the frame, also we rely on different size inline weights from 2oz\'s up to 28oz\'s to cover the different water columns. These Inline sinkers are placed in between the main line of the pole to the leader going to the umbrella rigs. Make sure you are using a minimum of 150lb good quality snap swivels for these connections.\n\nWhen it comes to the leader, we also use good quality leader from 100lb test to 200lb test. The length\'s of these leaders can be anywhere from 4 feet to 12 feet. When the fishing is wide open I prefer the short leader as the angler reels the fish up to the boat, the fish can be netted without having to hand line the extra leader. When stripers are in a frenzy, leader length does not make a difference. So go short!\n\nWhen the current is flying, and the water depth is deep, another way which has become very popular is to use a large mojo from 24oz\'s to 48oz\'s or even larger off a 3 way from the main line. We only use white or Chartreuse colored heads, and will place a 9\" shad on the hook of the mojo. This particular rig can also be called the closest rig to the boat, as this set up has the most weight, so you want it close to the boat, I usually run mine 55 feet from the boat.\n\nEvery boat is different when it comes to trolling which leads us to deployment of your spread. Now there are no guarantees that fish will be caught, that\'s why its called fishing and not catching, but you will improve your catch ratio by fishing with more baits in the water. Once you figure out what works, stick with it, as you will begin fine tuning your spread. Every rod we fish has its own rod holder, and is marked to match that rod holder, so there is no confusion where a rod goes.\n\nIt really helps when you don\'t have a mate to keep it straight. Take different colors of tape and mark each rod, and rod holder. Blue to Blue, Red to Red, Orange to Orange, you get the idea. There are many ways to mark lines, by using line meters, using the level wind on the reel if you have that type of reel, or permanent markers, even using tying thread which requires time and space. The reason to mark these lines is to get the lines spaced out within the spread. If not you will just end up with a big bundle of mess in the first turn you take.\n\nWorking from front to back of a 26 foot center console, I setup my spread as follows: The mid port and mid starboard lines off the sides of the boat are set to 55 feet with a small single drop umbrella and a large mojo, off the 3 way we discussed above. The next two I call my port and starboard corner rods which are marked at 125, using double drop umbrellas, with different inline sinkers of 16oz on one side and 20oz on the other. Then we shoot a long line right down the middle of the spread about 175 feet back. Using a small single drop umbrella or just a double rig without any extra weight.\n\nThe double rig is just two lures one at 10 ft, with a 6oz parachute, and the other is at 6 ft , with a 4 oz parachute. Both of the lures are tied to a 3 way which goes to the main line. Both parachute lures have 9 inch sassy shads with stinger hooks installed in them.\n\nThe above examples are just ways of deploying a spread, and many more poles can be set by deploying outriggers, down riggers, planner boards, and dummy lines.\n','How to Catch a Striper on Umbrella Rigs','','inherit','open','open','','173-revision','','','2011-12-05 18:35:05','2011-12-05 18:35:05','',173,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=174',0,'revision','',0),(32,1,'2011-06-01 21:47:08','2011-06-02 01:47:08','Ghost ships, or phantom ships, make up a big part of the seafaring lore that has been passed down by sailors and fisherman throughout the years. The ships are said to be spectral apparitions that materialize on the horizon before quickly disappearing, and they are believed to be a sign of bad things to come. The term is also used to describe abandoned vessels that are found adrift with no crew or passengers, often under frightening and mysterious circumstances. Whether real stories of these derelict ships or legends about phantom craft trawling the seas, the following are the ten most famous ghost ships that continue to provoke speculation and mystery in the nautical world.\r\n<h2>1. The Flying Dutchman</h2>\r\nIn maritime folklore, no ghost ship is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired numerous paintings, horror stories, films, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in George Barrington\'s seafaring book Voyage to Botany Bay, and since then its legend has continued to grow, thanks to numerous sightings of it by fisherman and sailors. As the story goes, the Flying Dutchman was a vessel out of Amsterdam that was captained by a man named Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies when it encountered dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope. Determined to make the crossing, Van der Decken supposedly went mad, murdered his first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, “even if God would let me sail to Judgment Day!” Despite his best efforts, the ship sank in the storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and his ghost ship are now cursed to sail the oceans for all eternity. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from deep-sea fishermen to the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have spotted it making its never- ending voyage across the oceans.\r\n<h2>2. The Mary Celeste</h2>\r\nUndoubtedly the most famous of all the real-life ghost ships, the Mary Celeste was a merchant ship that was found derelict and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in a seaworthy condition, with all its sails still up and a full store of food in its cargo hold, but its life boat, captain’s log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, had mysteriously vanished. There was no sign of a struggle, and the personal belongings of the crew and cargo of over 1500 barrels of alcohol were untouched, seemingly ruling out piracy as a possible explanation. In the years since its bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed regarding the possible fate of the Mary Celeste’s crew. These include that those aboard were killed by a waterspout, that the crew mutinied, or even that eating flour contaminated with fungus led all the passengers to hallucinate and go mad. The most probable theory remains that a storm or some kind of technical is- sue led the crew to prematurely abandon the ship in the lifeboat, and that they later died at sea. Still, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has led to much wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from ghosts to sea monsters and alien abduction as possible explanations.\r\n<h2>3. The Lady Lovibond</h2>\r\nThe UK has a long tradition of legends about ghost ships, and of these the Lady Lovibond is perhaps the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond\'s captain, Simon Peel, had just gotten married, and decided to take his ship out on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride along—going against a longstanding seafaring belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck—and set sail on Feb. 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, his first mate was also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, the man became overwhelmed with rage and jealousy and intentionally steered the boat into the deadly Goodwind Sands, a sand bar notorious for causing ship wrecks. The Lady Lovibond sank, killing all those aboard. As the legend goes, ever since the wreck the Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing the waters around Kent every 50 years. It was sighted in 1798 by a few different ship captains, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it supposedly appeared to be so real that some boats, thinking it a vessel in distress, actually sent out life rafts to help it. The Lady Lovibond was again seen in 1948, and while there were no confirmed sightings on its most recent anniversary in 1998, it continues to be one of the most well-known ghost ship legends in Europe.\r\n<h2>4. The Joyita</h2>\r\nThe Joyita was a fishing and charter boat that was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. The ship, along with its 25 passengers and crew, were en route to the Tokelau Islands when something happened, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita was reportedoverdue and a rescue attempt launched. A massive air search was undertaken, but it failed to find the missing ship, and it was not until five weeks later that a merchant ship stumbled upon the Joyita drifting some 600 miles off its original course. There was no sign of any of the passengers, crew, cargo, or life rafts, and the ship was damaged and listing quite badly to one side. Further inspection by authorities found that the ship’s radio was tuned to the universal distress signal, and a search of the deck uncovered a doctor’s bag and several bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers was ever seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that pirates killed the passengers and threw their bodies overboard, but other claims have included everything from mutiny and kidnapping to insurance fraud.\r\n<h2>5. The Octavius</h2>\r\nAlthough it is now considered more legend than anything, the story of the Octavius remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The tale dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across the Octavius floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers from the Herald boarded the Octavius, where they discovered the bodies of the crew and passengers all frozen solid by the arctic cold. Most notably, the crew found the ship\'s captain still sitting at his desk, midway through finishing a log entry from 1762, which meant the Octavius had been adrift for 13 years. According to the legend, it was eventually discovered that the captain had gambled on making a quick return to England from the Orient via the Northwest Passage, but that the ship had become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean the Octavius had completed its passage to the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain long dead from exposure to the elements.\r\n<h2>6. The Baychimo</h2>\r\nOne of the most amazing cases of a real-life ghost ship concerns the Baychimo, a cargo steamer that was abandoned and left to drift the seas near Alaska for nearly forty years. The ship was owned by the Hudson Bay Company, and was launched in the early 1920s and used to trade pelts and furs with the Inuit in northern Canada. But in 1931, the Baychimo became trapped in pack ice near Alaska, and after many attempts to break it free, its crew were eventually airlifted out of the area to safety. After a heavy blizzard, the ship managed to break free of the ice, but it was badly damaged and was abandoned by the Hudson Bay Com- pany, who assumed it would not last the winter. Amazingly, the Baychimo managed to stay afloat, and for the next 38 years, it remained adrift in the waters off Alaska. The ship became something of a local legend, and was frequently sighted aimlessly floating near the frozen ice packs by Eskimos and other vessels. It was boarded several times, but weather conditions always made salvaging it nearly impossible. The Baychimo was last sighted in 1969, again frozen in the ice off of Alaska, but it has since disappeared. The ship is believed to have sunk in the intervening years, but recently a number of expeditions have been launched in search of now nearly 80-year-old ghost ship.\r\n<h2>7. The Carroll A. Deering</h2>\r\nPerhaps the most famous ghost ship of the Eastern Seaboard is the Carroll A. Deering, a schooner that ran aground near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921. The ship had just returned from a commercial voyage to deliver coal in South America, and had last been spotted just south of Hatteras by a lightship near Cape Lookout. It ran aground in the notori- ous Diamond Shoals, an area famous for causing shipwrecks, and sat there for several days before any help was able to reach it. When they did arrive, the Coast Guard found that the ship was completely abandoned. The navigation equipment and logbook were missing, as were the two lifeboats, but otherwise there were no signs of any kind of foul play. A massive investigation by the U.S. government followed, which discovered that several other ships had disappeared under mysterious circumstances around the same time. Several theories were eventually put forth, the most popular being that the ship fell victim to pirates or rumrunners. Others suggested that mutiny might have been the cause, as the Deering’s first mate was known to bear some animosity toward its Captain, but no definitive proof has even been discovered. The mystery surrounding the ghost ship has encouraged wild speculation, and many have argued that paranormal activity might have been responsible, citing the ship’s passage through the infamous Bermuda triangle as proof that some kind of otherworldly phenomena might be to blame.\r\n<h2>8. The Ourang Medan</h2>\r\nThe story of the Ourang Medan begins in 1947, when two American ships received a distress call while navigating the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Malaysia. The caller identified himself as a member of the crew of the Ourang Medan, a Dutch vessel, and supposedly claimed that the ship’s captain and crew were all dead or dying. The messages became jumbled and bizarre before trailing off and ending with the words: “I die.” The ships quickly raced to the scene to help. When they arrived, they found that the Ourang Medan was undamaged, but that the entire crew—even the ship’s dog— was dead, their bodies and faces locked in terrified poses and expressions, and many pointing at something that was not there. Before the rescuers could investigate further, the ship mysteriously caught on fire, and they had to evacuate. Soon after, the Ourang Medan is said to have exploded and then sank. While the details and the overall veracity of the Ourang Medan story are still widely debated, there have been a number of theories proposed about what might have caused the death of the crew. The most popular of these is that the ship was illegally transporting nitroglycerin or some kind of illegal nerve agent, which was not properly secured and seeped out into the air. Others, meanwhile, have claimed the ship was a victim of a UFO attack or some other kind of paranormal event.\r\n<h2>9. The SS Valencia</h2>\r\nThe SS Valencia was steamer ship that sank off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia in 1906. The ship had encountered bad weather near Cape Mendocino, and after drifting off course, struck a reef and began taking on water. The crew quickly began lowering lifeboats holding the ship’s 108 passengers into the water, but several of these capsized, and one simply disappeared. The Valencia eventually sank, and only 37 of the roughly 180 people on board survived. Five months later, a fisherman claimed he had found a life raft with 8 skeletons in it in a nearby cave. A search was launched, but it found nothing. Thanks to its dramatic end, the Valencia eventually became the source of numerous ghost ship stories. Sailors would often claim they could see the specter of the steamer drifting near the reef in Pachena Point, and to this day the ship is the source of frequent wild theories and ghost ship sightings. In a bizarre twist, 27 years after the sinking of the Valencia, one of its life rafts was found floating peacefully in nearby Barkley Sound. The “ghost raft” was said to be in remarkable condition, and even still had most of its original coat of paint.\r\n<h2>10. The Caleuche</h2>\r\nOne of the most well known legends of the Chilota mythology of southern Chile describes the Caleuche, a ghost ship that appears every night near the island of Chiloe. According to local legend, the ship is a kind of conscious being that sails the waters around the area, carrying with it the spirits of all the people who have drowned at sea. When spotted, the Caleuche is said to be strikingly beautiful and bright, and is always accompanied by the sounds of party music and people laughing. After appearing for a few moments, the ship is then said to disappear or submerge itself under the water. According to Chilota mythology, the spirits of the drowned are summoned to the ship by the Sirena Chilota, the Pincoya, and the Picoy, three Chilota \"water spirits\" who resemble mermaids. Once aboard the phantom ship, the drowned are said to be able to resume their life as it was before they died.','Top 10 Ghost Ships','','publish','open','open','','top-10-ghost-ships','','','2013-04-02 12:57:28','2013-04-02 16:57:28','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=32',46,'post','',0),(33,1,'2011-10-17 21:49:09','2011-10-17 21:49:09','Ghost ships, or phantom ships, make up a big part of the seafaring lore that has been passed down by sailors and fisherman throughout the years.

The mystery surrounding the ghost ship has encouraged wild speculation, and many have argued that paranormal activity might have been responsible, citing the ship’s passage through the infamous Bermuda triangle as proof that some kind of otherworldly phenomena might be to blame.\n\n8. The Ourang Medan\nThe story of the Ourang Medan begins in 1947, when two American ships received a distress call while navigating the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Malaysia. The caller identified himself as a member of the crew of the Ourang Medan, a Dutch vessel, and supposedly claimed that the ship’s captain and crew were all dead or dying. The messages became jumbled and bizarre before trailing off and ending with the words: “I die.” The ships quickly raced to the scene to help. When they arrived, they found that the Ourang Medan was undamaged, but that the entire crew—even the ship’s dog— was dead, their bodies and faces locked in terrified poses and expressions, and many pointing at something that was not there. Before the rescuers could investigate further, the ship mysteriously caught on fire, and they had to evacuate. Soon after, the Ourang Medan is said to have exploded and then sank. While the details and the overall veracity of the Ourang Medan story are still widely debated, there have been a number of theories proposed about what might have caused the death of the crew. The most popular of these is that the ship was illegally transporting nitroglycerin or some kind of illegal nerve agent, which was not properly secured and seeped out into the air. Others, meanwhile, have claimed the ship was a victim of a UFO attack or some other kind of paranormal event.\n\n9. The SS Valencia\nThe SS Valencia was steamer ship that sank off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia in 1906. The ship had encountered bad weather near Cape Mendocino, and after drifting off course, struck a reef and began taking on water. The crew quickly began lowering lifeboats holding the ship’s 108 passengers into the water, but several of these capsized, and one simply disappeared. The Valencia eventually sank, and only 37 of the roughly 180 people on board survived. Five months later, a fisherman claimed he had found a life raft with 8 skeletons in it in a nearby cave. A search was launched, but it found nothing. Thanks to its dramatic end, the Valencia eventually became the source of numerous ghost ship stories. Sailors would often claim they could see the specter of the steamer drifting near the reef in Pachena Point, and to this day the ship is the source of frequent wild theories and ghost ship sightings. In a bizarre twist, 27 years after the sinking of the Valencia, one of its life rafts was found floating peacefully in nearby Barkley Sound. The “ghost raft” was said to be in remarkable condition, and even still had most of its original coat of paint.\n\n10. The Caleuche\nOne of the most well known legends of the Chilota mythology of southern Chile describes the Caleuche, a ghost ship that appears every night near the island of Chiloe. According to local legend, the ship is a kind of conscious being that sails the waters around the area, carrying with it the spirits of all the people who have drowned at sea. When spotted, the Caleuche is said to be strikingly beautiful and bright, and is always accompanied by the sounds of party music and people laughing. After appearing for a few moments, the ship is then said to disappear or submerge itself under the water. According to Chilota mythology, the spirits of the drowned are summoned to the ship by the Sirena Chilota, the Pincoya, and the Picoy, three Chilota \"water spirits” who resemble mermaids. Once aboard the phantom ship, the drowned are said to be able to resume their life as it was before they died.','Top 10 Ghost Ships','','inherit','open','open','','32-revision','','','2011-10-17 21:49:09','2011-10-17 21:49:09','',32,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=33',0,'revision','',0),(34,1,'2011-10-17 21:50:33','2011-10-17 21:50:33','Ghost ships, or phantom ships, make up a big part of the seafaring lore that has been passed down by sailors and fisherman throughout the years. The ships are said to be spectral apparitions that materialize on the horizon before quickly disappearing, and they are believed to be a sign of bad things to come. The term is also used to describe abandoned vessels that are found adrift with no crew or passengers, often under frightening and mysterious circumstances. Whether real stories of these derelict ships or legends about phantom craft trawling the seas, the following are the ten most famous ghost ships that continue to provoke speculation and mystery in the nautical world.\n<h2>1. The Flying Dutchman</h2>\nIn maritime folklore, no ghost ship is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired numerous paintings, horror stories, films, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in George Barrington\'s seafaring book Voyage to Botany Bay, and since then its legend has continued to grow, thanks to numerous sightings of it by fisherman and sailors. As the story goes, the Flying Dutchman was a vessel out of Amsterdam that was captained by a man named Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies when it encountered dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope. Determined to make the crossing, Van der Decken supposedly went mad, murdered his first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, “even if God would let me sail to Judgment Day!” Despite his best efforts, the ship sank in the storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and his ghost ship are now cursed to sail the oceans for all eternity. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from deep-sea fishermen to the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have spotted it making its never- ending voyage across the oceans.\n<h2>2. The Mary Celeste</h2>\nUndoubtedly the most famous of all the real-life ghost ships, the Mary Celeste was a merchant ship that was found derelict and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in a seaworthy condition, with all its sails still up and a full store of food in its cargo hold, but its life boat, captain’s log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, had mysteriously vanished. There was no sign of a struggle, and the personal belongings of the crew and cargo of over 1500 barrels of alcohol were untouched, seemingly ruling out piracy as a possible explanation. In the years since its bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed regarding the possible fate of the Mary Celeste’s crew. These include that those aboard were killed by a waterspout, that the crew mutinied, or even that eating flour contaminated with fungus led all the passengers to hallucinate and go mad. The most probable theory remains that a storm or some kind of technical is- sue led the crew to prematurely abandon the ship in the lifeboat, and that they later died at sea. Still, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has led to much wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from ghosts to sea monsters and alien abduction as possible explanations.\n<h2>3. The Lady Lovibond</h2>\nThe UK has a long tradition of legends about ghost ships, and of these the Lady Lovibond is perhaps the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond\'s captain, Simon Peel, had just gotten married, and decided to take his ship out on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride along—going against a longstanding seafaring belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck—and set sail on Feb. 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, his first mate was also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, the man became overwhelmed with rage and jealousy and intentionally steered the boat into the deadly Goodwind Sands, a sand bar notorious for causing ship wrecks. The Lady Lovibond sank, killing all those aboard. As the legend goes, ever since the wreck the Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing the waters around Kent every 50 years. It was sighted in 1798 by a few different ship captains, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it supposedly appeared to be so real that some boats, thinking it a vessel in distress, actually sent out life rafts to help it. The Lady Lovibond was again seen in 1948, and while there were no confirmed sightings on its most recent anniversary in 1998, it continues to be one of the most well-known ghost ship legends in Europe.\n<h2>4. The Joyita</h2>\nThe Joyita was a fishing and charter boat that was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. The ship, along with its 25 passengers and crew, were en route to the Tokelau Islands when something happened, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita was reportedoverdue and a rescue attempt launched. A massive air search was undertaken, but it failed to find the missing ship, and it was not until five weeks later that a merchant ship stumbled upon the Joyita drifting some 600 miles off its original course. There was no sign of any of the passengers, crew, cargo, or life rafts, and the ship was damaged and listing quite badly to one side. Further inspection by authorities found that the ship’s radio was tuned to the universal distress signal, and a search of the deck uncovered a doctor’s bag and several bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers was ever seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that pirates killed the passengers and threw their bodies overboard, but other claims have included everything from mutiny and kidnapping to insurance fraud.\n<h2>5. The Octavius</h2>\nAlthough it is now considered more legend than anything, the story of the Octavius remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The tale dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across the Octavius floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers from the Herald boarded the Octavius, where they discovered the bodies of the crew and passengers all frozen solid by the arctic cold. Most notably, the crew found the ship\'s captain still sitting at his desk, midway through finishing a log entry from 1762, which meant the Octavius had been adrift for 13 years. According to the legend, it was eventually discovered that the captain had gambled on making a quick return to England from the Orient via the Northwest Passage, but that the ship had become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean the Octavius had completed its passage to the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain long dead from exposure to the elements.\n\n6. The Baychimo\nOne of the most amazing cases of a real-life ghost ship concerns the Baychimo, a cargo steamer that was abandoned and left to drift the seas near Alaska for nearly forty years. The ship was owned by the Hudson Bay Company, and was launched in the early 1920s and used to trade pelts and furs with the Inuit in northern Canada. But in 1931, the Baychimo became trapped in pack ice near Alaska, and after many attempts to break it free, its crew were eventually airlifted out of the area to safety. After a heavy blizzard, the ship managed to break free of the ice, but it was badly damaged and was abandoned by the Hudson Bay Com- pany, who assumed it would not last the winter. Amazingly, the Baychimo managed to stay afloat, and for the next 38 years, it remained adrift in the waters off Alaska. The ship became something of a local legend, and was frequently sighted aimlessly floating near the frozen ice packs by Eskimos and other vessels. It was boarded several times, but weather conditions always made salvaging it nearly impossible. The Baychimo was last sighted in 1969, again frozen in the ice off of Alaska, but it has since disappeared. The ship is believed to have sunk in the intervening years, but recently a number of expeditions have been launched in search of now nearly 80-year-old ghost ship.\n\n7. The Carroll A. Deering\nPerhaps the most famous ghost ship of the Eastern Seaboard is the Carroll A. Deering, a schooner that ran aground near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921. The ship had just returned from a commercial voyage to deliver coal in South America, and had last been spotted just south of Hatteras by a lightship near Cape Lookout. It ran aground in the notori- ous Diamond Shoals, an area famous for causing shipwrecks, and sat there for several days before any help was able to reach it. When they did arrive, the Coast Guard found that the ship was completely abandoned. The navigation equipment and logbook were missing, as were the two lifeboats, but otherwise there were no signs of any kind of foul play. A massive investigation by the U.S. government followed, which discovered that several other ships had disappeared under mysterious circumstances around the same time. Several theories were eventually put forth, the most popular being that the ship fell victim to pirates or rumrunners. Others suggested that mutiny might have been the cause, as the Deering’s first mate was known to bear some animosity toward its Captain, but no definitive proof has even been discovered. The mystery surrounding the ghost ship has encouraged wild speculation, and many have argued that paranormal activity might have been responsible, citing the ship’s passage through the infamous Bermuda triangle as proof that some kind of otherworldly phenomena might be to blame.\n\n8.

The messages became jumbled and bizarre before trailing off and ending with the words: “I die.” The ships quickly raced to the scene to help. When they arrived, they found that the Ourang Medan was undamaged, but that the entire crew—even the ship’s dog— was dead, their bodies and faces locked in terrified poses and expressions, and many pointing at something that was not there. Before the rescuers could investigate further, the ship mysteriously caught on fire, and they had to evacuate. Soon after, the Ourang Medan is said to have exploded and then sank. While the details and the overall veracity of the Ourang Medan story are still widely debated, there have been a number of theories proposed about what might have caused the death of the crew. The most popular of these is that the ship was illegally transporting nitroglycerin or some kind of illegal nerve agent, which was not properly secured and seeped out into the air. Others, meanwhile, have claimed the ship was a victim of a UFO attack or some other kind of paranormal event.\n\n9.

The Lady Lovibond</h2>\r\nThe UK has a long tradition of legends about ghost ships, and of these the Lady Lovibond is perhaps the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond\'s captain, Simon Peel, had just gotten married, and decided to take his ship out on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride along—going against a longstanding seafaring belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck—and set sail on Feb. 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, his first mate was also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, the man became overwhelmed with rage and jealousy and intentionally steered the boat into the deadly Goodwind Sands, a sand bar notorious for causing ship wrecks. The Lady Lovibond sank, killing all those aboard. As the legend goes, ever since the wreck the Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing the waters around Kent every 50 years. It was sighted in 1798 by a few different ship captains, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it supposedly appeared to be so real that some boats, thinking it a vessel in distress, actually sent out life rafts to help it. The Lady Lovibond was again seen in 1948, and while there were no confirmed sightings on its most recent anniversary in 1998, it continues to be one of the most well-known ghost ship legends in Europe.\r\n<h2>4. The Joyita</h2>\r\nThe Joyita was a fishing and charter boat that was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. The ship, along with its 25 passengers and crew, were en route to the Tokelau Islands when something happened, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita was reportedoverdue and a rescue attempt launched. A massive air search was undertaken, but it failed to find the missing ship, and it was not until five weeks later that a merchant ship stumbled upon the Joyita drifting some 600 miles off its original course. There was no sign of any of the passengers, crew, cargo, or life rafts, and the ship was damaged and listing quite badly to one side. Further inspection by authorities found that the ship’s radio was tuned to the universal distress signal, and a search of the deck uncovered a doctor’s bag and several bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers was ever seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that pirates killed the passengers and threw their bodies overboard, but other claims have included everything from mutiny and kidnapping to insurance fraud.\r\n<h2>5. The Octavius</h2>\r\nAlthough it is now considered more legend than anything, the story of the Octavius remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The tale dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across the Octavius floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers from the Herald boarded the Octavius, where they discovered the bodies of the crew and passengers all frozen solid by the arctic cold. Most notably, the crew found the ship\'s captain still sitting at his desk, midway through finishing a log entry from 1762, which meant the Octavius had been adrift for 13 years. According to the legend, it was eventually discovered that the captain had gambled on making a quick return to England from the Orient via the Northwest Passage, but that the ship had become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean the Octavius had completed its passage to the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain long dead from exposure to the elements.\r\n<h2>6. The Baychimo</h2>\r\nOne of the most amazing cases of a real-life ghost ship concerns the Baychimo, a cargo steamer that was abandoned and left to drift the seas near Alaska for nearly forty years. The ship was owned by the Hudson Bay Company, and was launched in the early 1920s and used to trade pelts and furs with the Inuit in northern Canada. But in 1931, the Baychimo became trapped in pack ice near Alaska, and after many attempts to break it free, its crew were eventually airlifted out of the area to safety. After a heavy blizzard, the ship managed to break free of the ice, but it was badly damaged and was abandoned by the Hudson Bay Com- pany, who assumed it would not last the winter. Amazingly, the Baychimo managed to stay afloat, and for the next 38 years, it remained adrift in the waters off Alaska. The ship became something of a local legend, and was frequently sighted aimlessly floating near the frozen ice packs by Eskimos and other vessels. It was boarded several times, but weather conditions always made salvaging it nearly impossible. The Baychimo was last sighted in 1969, again frozen in the ice off of Alaska, but it has since disappeared. The ship is believed to have sunk in the intervening years, but recently a number of expeditions have been launched in search of now nearly 80-year-old ghost ship.\r\n<h2>7. The Carroll A. Deering</h2>\r\nPerhaps the most famous ghost ship of the Eastern Seaboard is the Carroll A. Deering, a schooner that ran aground near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921. The ship had just returned from a commercial voyage to deliver coal in South America, and had last been spotted just south of Hatteras by a lightship near Cape Lookout. It ran aground in the notori- ous Diamond Shoals, an area famous for causing shipwrecks, and sat there for several days before any help was able to reach it. When they did arrive, the Coast Guard found that the ship was completely abandoned. The navigation equipment and logbook were missing, as were the two lifeboats, but otherwise there were no signs of any kind of foul play. A massive investigation by the U.S. government followed, which discovered that several other ships had disappeared under mysterious circumstances around the same time. Several theories were eventually put forth, the most popular being that the ship fell victim to pirates or rumrunners. Others suggested that mutiny might have been the cause, as the Deering’s first mate was known to bear some animosity toward its Captain, but no definitive proof has even been discovered. The mystery surrounding the ghost ship has encouraged wild speculation, and many have argued that paranormal activity might have been responsible, citing the ship’s passage through the infamous Bermuda triangle as proof that some kind of otherworldly phenomena might be to blame.\r\n<h2>8. The Ourang Medan</h2>\r\nThe story of the Ourang Medan begins in 1947, when two American ships received a distress call while navigating the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Malaysia. The caller identified himself as a member of the crew of the Ourang Medan, a Dutch vessel, and supposedly claimed that the ship’s captain and crew were all dead or dying. The messages became jumbled and bizarre before trailing off and ending with the words: “I die.” The ships quickly raced to the scene to help. When they arrived, they found that the Ourang Medan was undamaged, but that the entire crew—even the ship’s dog— was dead, their bodies and faces locked in terrified poses and expressions, and many pointing at something that was not there. Before the rescuers could investigate further, the ship mysteriously caught on fire, and they had to evacuate. Soon after, the Ourang Medan is said to have exploded and then sank. While the details and the overall veracity of the Ourang Medan story are still widely debated, there have been a number of theories proposed about what might have caused the death of the crew. The most popular of these is that the ship was illegally transporting nitroglycerin or some kind of illegal nerve agent, which was not properly secured and seeped out into the air. Others, meanwhile, have claimed the ship was a victim of a UFO attack or some other kind of paranormal event.\r\n<h2>9. The SS Valencia</h2>\r\nThe SS Valencia was steamer ship that sank off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia in 1906. The ship had encountered bad weather near Cape Mendocino, and after drifting off course, struck a reef and began taking on water. The crew quickly began lowering lifeboats holding the ship’s 108 passengers into the water, but several of these capsized, and one simply disappeared. The Valencia eventually sank, and only 37 of the roughly 180 people on board survived. Five months later, a fisherman claimed he had found a life raft with 8 skeletons in it in a nearby cave. A search was launched, but it found nothing. Thanks to its dramatic end, the Valencia eventually became the source of numerous ghost ship stories. Sailors would often claim they could see the specter of the steamer drifting near the reef in Pachena Point, and to this day the ship is the source of frequent wild theories and ghost ship sightings. In a bizarre twist, 27 years after the sinking of the Valencia, one of its life rafts was found floating peacefully in nearby Barkley Sound. The “ghost raft” was said to be in remarkable condition, and even still had most of its original coat of paint.\r\n<h2>10. The Caleuche</h2>\r\nOne of the most well known legends of the Chilota mythology of southern Chile describes the Caleuche, a ghost ship that appears every night near the island of Chiloe. According to local legend, the ship is a kind of conscious being that sails the waters around the area, carrying with it the spirits of all the people who have drowned at sea. When spotted, the Caleuche is said to be strikingly beautiful and bright, and is always accompanied by the sounds of party music and people laughing. After appearing for a few moments, the ship is then said to disappear or submerge itself under the water. According to Chilota mythology, the spirits of the drowned are summoned to the ship by the Sirena Chilota, the Pincoya, and the Picoy, three Chilota \"water spirits\" who resemble mermaids. Once aboard the phantom ship, the drowned are said to be able to resume their life as it was before they died.','Top 10 Ghost Ships','','inherit','open','open','','32-revision-3','','','2011-10-17 21:51:02','2011-10-17 21:51:02','',32,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=53',0,'revision','',0),(54,1,'2011-10-17 22:25:37','2011-10-17 22:25:37','Ghost ships, or phantom ships, make up a big part of the seafaring lore that has been passed down by sailors and fisherman throughout the years. The ships are said to be spectral apparitions that materialize on the horizon before quickly disappearing, and they are believed to be a sign of bad things to come. The term is also used to describe abandoned vessels that are found adrift with no crew or passengers, often under frightening and mysterious circumstances. Whether real stories of these derelict ships or legends about phantom craft trawling the seas, the following are the ten most famous ghost ships that continue to provoke speculation and mystery in the nautical world.\r\n<h2>1. The Flying Dutchman</h2>\r\nIn maritime folklore, no ghost ship is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired numerous paintings, horror stories, films, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in George Barrington\'s seafaring book Voyage to Botany Bay, and since then its legend has continued to grow, thanks to numerous sightings of it by fisherman and sailors. As the story goes, the Flying Dutchman was a vessel out of Amsterdam that was captained by a man named Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies when it encountered dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope. Determined to make the crossing, Van der Decken supposedly went mad, murdered his first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, “even if God would let me sail to Judgment Day!” Despite his best efforts, the ship sank in the storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and his ghost ship are now cursed to sail the oceans for all eternity. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from deep-sea fishermen to the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have spotted it making its never- ending voyage across the oceans.\r\n<h2>2. The Mary Celeste</h2>\r\nUndoubtedly the most famous of all the real-life ghost ships, the Mary Celeste was a merchant ship that was found derelict and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in a seaworthy condition, with all its sails still up and a full store of food in its cargo hold, but its life boat, captain’s log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, had mysteriously vanished. There was no sign of a struggle, and the personal belongings of the crew and cargo of over 1500 barrels of alcohol were untouched, seemingly ruling out piracy as a possible explanation. In the years since its bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed regarding the possible fate of the Mary Celeste’s crew. These include that those aboard were killed by a waterspout, that the crew mutinied, or even that eating flour contaminated with fungus led all the passengers to hallucinate and go mad. The most probable theory remains that a storm or some kind of technical is- sue led the crew to prematurely abandon the ship in the lifeboat, and that they later died at sea. Still, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has led to much wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from ghosts to sea monsters and alien abduction as possible explanations.\r\n<h2>3.

In addition to this, there are times when we are required to fish with circle hooks, either by government regulations or by tournament rules. For these reasons, anglers have come up with a number of ways to rig ballyhoo with circle hooks. Many ways have been used to rig a ballyhoo to skip with a circle hook. A naked, skipping ballyhoo is a wonderful billfish bait but my absolute, favorite bait for white marlin is a naked, swimming ballyhoo.\n\nTo get a ballyhoo to swim with a J-hook, the classic split-bill rig is used. Trying to rig a split-bill ballyhoo with a circle hook does not work very well so other rigging techniques have been developed to get a ballyhoo to swim with a circle hook. One way is to use a swivel attached to the head of the ballyhoo. The circle hook is run through the ring of swivel. This rig swims great and it is an excel- lent fish catcher. A problem with it is that the ring on\nthe swivel and the hook have to be perfectly matched. If the ring is too small, you cannot get the barb off the hook to slide through it. If the ring is too big, you risk the hook sliding out of the ring during your drop back. The solution to this is to get rid of the swivel. You can just use a loop in rigging wire in place of the swivel. The rigging wire is attached to the bend in the hook via a haywire twist. The loop is loose enough to allow the circle hook to move but small enough so that it cannot slide over the shank of the hook. This is another great rigging technique which also has a problem. Sometimes, the rigging wire will fatigue and break. This typically will happen at just the wrong moment.\n\nWhile helping Dr. John Graves of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science with his study of white marlin, I have been fortunate to spend a fair\namount of time fishing with some of the best captains and mates in the world. These guys can rig a ballyhoo anyway you can think of and we have tried most of them. While fishing off of Venezuela, we learned another circle hook swimming rig. It has become my favorite for a number of reasons. It is simple to rig. It does not matter what hook you use which was a real advantage when we kept changing hooks as part of the study. Hooks do not fall out during drop back and there is no wire to fatigue and break.\n\nPrepare your ballyhoo how you normally prepare it for rigging. Remove the eyes. You can snip off the pectoral fins. I usually leave them alone as long as they are positioned normally along the body. If they are stuck forward, I cut them off. Cut or break the bill off square leaving about 1⁄2 inch of bill remaining.\nTo rig your ballyhoo you simply need a piece of waxed rigging floss about twenty inches long and an egg sinker of 1/4 to 1/3 ounce to use for a chin weight. Fold the floss in half and tie an overhand knot at the tag end. Thread the loop end through the egg sinker and you are ready to rig your ballyhoo.\nSlide the loop over the head of the ballyhoo. Pass the floss under the gill plates on both sides. Position the egg sinker under the ballyhoo’s chin. Slide the tag end of your floss over the bill. Pull the tag ends apart and the knot will slide down, snug it up. Make sure the sinker is centered and the knot ties the mouth closed.\n\nNow, pass each tag end through the eyes from opposite sides and form another overhand knot with the tag\nends under the ballyhoo. Pull the tag ends apart and snug the knot down behind the sinker. Form another overhand knot and snug it down again. Cut off the tag ends and you are ready to go fishing.\n\nYou now have a chin weighted ballyhoo with a harness. To fish it, simply slide your hook behind the harness where the knot is sitting on top of the ballyhoo’s mouth.\nYou can rig a bunch of these ahead of time and it does not matter which circle or even a J-hook that you are going to use. Ballyhoo rigged like this have proven to be very effective on sailfish, white marlin and blue marlin. It is easy to rig and it swims well.

One difference between a fish eye and most other vertebrates is a fish can change the focus of the lens by changing the distance between the lens and the retina; other vertebrates (including humans) focus by altering the shape of the lens. Fish can focus their eye just like a camera. Also, the iris of most fish lacks muscles and is fixed in shape—they cannot control the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the iris. Sharks and rays do have movable irises and are the exception.\r\n\r\nThe retina contains special receptor cells called rods and cones. Rods are more light- sensitive than cones, but only respond to black and white. Cones respond to color and produce more detailed images than rods, but are only about one-thirtieth as sensitive to light as rods. Rods “see” light, while cones provide color and detail. Like us, fish cannot see color at night, or other low-light conditions.\r\n\r\nA fish\'s eye is adapted to better see movement and contrast at the expense of detail. The cones in a human eye are densely packed around the retina, allowing for better detail. The cones in a fish’s eye are distributed throughout, which provides better detection of movement and contrast, but with lesser detail. In daylight, the rods contract and the cones expand. Pigment granules move toward and around the rods to shield them from light. At night, the pigment is drawn back to expose the rods, and they expand to become exposed to more light. This process takes about an hour, and most predatory fish are able to adapt faster than their prey. This is probably the reason many predatory fish feed most actively at sunrise and sunset—their eyes can adapt to changing light faster than their prey, giving them a distinct visual advantage.\r\n\r\nColor vision requires different types of cone cells to detect each of the three primary colors, and most fish possess at least two while some have all three. In general, fish can see farther into the violet range than humans, and some can see into the ultraviolet range.\r\n\r\nResearchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science have used electroretinography to better understand how fishes see color. This method exposes a range of colors to an anesthetized fish, and uses electrodes to measure which colors elicits a response in the retina. The article can be found here. This figure (from http://www.vims.edu/newsmedia/press_release/fish_vision.htm) shows the color range for each species, with the thicker black bar depicting the peak response. Except for striped bass, none of these species can see red, while weakfish can see far into the ultraviolet range. Spotted seatrout and red drum can see a range from violet to orange, with a peak in the blue-green range.\r\n\r\nColor vision is used by fishes to help them see prey against a variety of backgrounds. Duplicating the exact color of a prey item is less important than choosing a color that ensures good contrast between your fly and the background. For example, chartreuse is a color that does not occur in nature, yet can be an effective color choice for a fly because it is so visible. Not only is chartreuse well within the visual range of a fishes eye, it is also fluorescent when exposed to ultraviolet light, and many fish can see into the ultraviolet range. Red and white is another effective color combination, but many fish (including reds and trout) cannot see red; instead, red appears as a shade of gray. Red and white is effective because it has good contrast against a variety of backgrounds. Gray and white would be just as effective.\r\n\r\nThe amount of light available and the color of the background is dependent upon a number of factors, including time of day, water clarity, bottom type, water depth, and vegetation. A fly with high contrast would be more visible under low light (sunrise/ sunset) or turbid water conditions. Black is a good color choice at night because it provides the best silhouette against a moonlit sky. Fluorescent colors are highly visible on cloudy days, when ultraviolet light is more prevalent than clear days. A fly with high contrast is less important in clear water and on bright sunny days, and may even \"spook\" some fish. Finally, in addition to vision, fish also depend on hearing and smell to help them find prey. A large fly that “pushes” a lot of water can be detected, even if they can’t see it. Poppers and gurglers are examples of flies designed to make noise. Also, some fly anglers targeting black drum have used “spray-on” fish attractants with great success.<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>In summary:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Fish can see color, but they use color vision to help them find prey against different backgrounds, not necessarily to identify prey.

Red and white is another effective color combination, but many\nfish (including reds and trout) cannot see red; instead, red appears as a shade of gray. Red and white is effective because it has good contrast against a variety of backgrounds. Gray and white would be just as effective.\n\nThe amount of light available and the color of the background is dependent upon a number of factors, including time of day, water clarity, bottom type, water depth, and vegetation. A fly with high contrast would be more visible under low light (sunrise/ sunset) or turbid water conditions. Black is a good color choice at night because it provides the best silhouette against a moonlit sky. Fluorescent colors are highly visible on cloudy days, when ultraviolet light is more prevalent than clear days. A fly with high contrast is less important in clear water and on bright sunny days, and may even \"spook\" some fish.\nFinally, in addition to vision, fish also depend on hearing and smell to help them find prey. A large fly that “pushes” a lot of water can be detected, even if they can’t see it. Poppers and gurglers are examples of flies designed to make noise. Also, some fly anglers targeting black drum have used “spray-on” fish attractants with great success.\nIn summary:\n\nFish can see color, but they use color vision to help them find prey against different backgrounds, not necessarily to identify prey. Fish cannot see color at night.\n• A fish’s eye is adapted to see movement and contrast at the expense of detail. An exact replica of a prey item is not necessary, but movement and general shape is.\n• Many predatory fish are well adapted to find prey at sunrise and sunset. • In general, the brighter the day and the clearer the water, the lighter your fly should be.\nConsider the background when choosing a fly.','Can Fish See Color?','','inherit','open','open','','63-revision','','','2011-10-17 22:37:29','2011-10-17 22:37:29','',63,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=64',0,'revision','',0),(65,1,'2011-10-17 22:37:57','2011-10-17 22:37:57','<em>By Mark Fisher</em>\r\n\r\nLike most vertebrates, the eye of a fish has a cornea (outer covering), an iris (aperture for light passage), a lens (to focus the image), a retina (receives the image from the lens), and an optic nerve (transmits the image to the brain).

The ships are said to be spectral apparitions that materialize on the horizon before quickly disappearing, and they are believed to be a sign of bad things to come. The term is also used to describe abandoned vessels that are found adrift with no crew or passengers, often under frightening and mysterious circumstances. Whether real stories of these derelict ships or legends about phantom craft trawling the seas, the following are the ten most famous ghost ships that continue to provoke speculation and mystery in the nautical world.\r\n<h2>1. The Flying Dutchman</h2>\r\nIn maritime folklore, no ghost ship is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired numerous paintings, horror stories, films, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in George Barrington\'s seafaring book Voyage to Botany Bay, and since then its legend has continued to grow, thanks to numerous sightings of it by fisherman and sailors. As the story goes, the Flying Dutchman was a vessel out of Amsterdam that was captained by a man named Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies when it encountered dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope. Determined to make the crossing, Van der Decken supposedly went mad, murdered his first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, “even if God would let me sail to Judgment Day!” Despite his best efforts, the ship sank in the storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and his ghost ship are now cursed to sail the oceans for all eternity. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from deep-sea fishermen to the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have spotted it making its never- ending voyage across the oceans.\r\n<h2>2. The Mary Celeste</h2>\r\nUndoubtedly the most famous of all the real-life ghost ships, the Mary Celeste was a merchant ship that was found derelict and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in a seaworthy condition, with all its sails still up and a full store of food in its cargo hold, but its life boat, captain’s log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, had mysteriously vanished. There was no sign of a struggle, and the personal belongings of the crew and cargo of over 1500 barrels of alcohol were untouched, seemingly ruling out piracy as a possible explanation. In the years since its bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed regarding the possible fate of the Mary Celeste’s crew. These include that those aboard were killed by a waterspout, that the crew mutinied, or even that eating flour contaminated with fungus led all the passengers to hallucinate and go mad. The most probable theory remains that a storm or some kind of technical is- sue led the crew to prematurely abandon the ship in the lifeboat, and that they later died at sea. Still, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has led to much wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from ghosts to sea monsters and alien abduction as possible explanations.\r\n<h2>3. The Lady Lovibond</h2>\r\nThe UK has a long tradition of legends about ghost ships, and of these the Lady Lovibond is perhaps the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond\'s captain, Simon Peel, had just gotten married, and decided to take his ship out on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride along—going against a longstanding seafaring belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck—and set sail on Feb. 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, his first mate was also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, the man became overwhelmed with rage and jealousy and intentionally steered the boat into the deadly Goodwind Sands, a sand bar notorious for causing ship wrecks. The Lady Lovibond sank, killing all those aboard. As the legend goes, ever since the wreck the Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing the waters around Kent every 50 years. It was sighted in 1798 by a few different ship captains, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it supposedly appeared to be so real that some boats, thinking it a vessel in distress, actually sent out life rafts to help it. The Lady Lovibond was again seen in 1948, and while there were no confirmed sightings on its most recent anniversary in 1998, it continues to be one of the most well-known ghost ship legends in Europe.\r\n<h2>4. The Joyita</h2>\r\nThe Joyita was a fishing and charter boat that was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. The ship, along with its 25 passengers and crew, were en route to the Tokelau Islands when something happened, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita was reportedoverdue and a rescue attempt launched. A massive air search was undertaken, but it failed to find the missing ship, and it was not until five weeks later that a merchant ship stumbled upon the Joyita drifting some 600 miles off its original course. There was no sign of any of the passengers, crew, cargo, or life rafts, and the ship was damaged and listing quite badly to one side. Further inspection by authorities found that the ship’s radio was tuned to the universal distress signal, and a search of the deck uncovered a doctor’s bag and several bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers was ever seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that pirates killed the passengers and threw their bodies overboard, but other claims have included everything from mutiny and kidnapping to insurance fraud.\r\n<h2>5. The Octavius</h2>\r\nAlthough it is now considered more legend than anything, the story of the Octavius remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The tale dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across the Octavius floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers from the Herald boarded the Octavius, where they discovered the bodies of the crew and passengers all frozen solid by the arctic cold. Most notably, the crew found the ship\'s captain still sitting at his desk, midway through finishing a log entry from 1762, which meant the Octavius had been adrift for 13 years. According to the legend, it was eventually discovered that the captain had gambled on making a quick return to England from the Orient via the Northwest Passage, but that the ship had become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean the Octavius had completed its passage to the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain long dead from exposure to the elements.\r\n<h2>6. The Baychimo</h2>\r\nOne of the most amazing cases of a real-life ghost ship concerns the Baychimo, a cargo steamer that was abandoned and left to drift the seas near Alaska for nearly forty years. The ship was owned by the Hudson Bay Company, and was launched in the early 1920s and used to trade pelts and furs with the Inuit in northern Canada. But in 1931, the Baychimo became trapped in pack ice near Alaska, and after many attempts to break it free, its crew were eventually airlifted out of the area to safety. After a heavy blizzard, the ship managed to break free of the ice, but it was badly damaged and was abandoned by the Hudson Bay Com- pany, who assumed it would not last the winter. Amazingly, the Baychimo managed to stay afloat, and for the next 38 years, it remained adrift in the waters off Alaska. The ship became something of a local legend, and was frequently sighted aimlessly floating near the frozen ice packs by Eskimos and other vessels. It was boarded several times, but weather conditions always made salvaging it nearly impossible. The Baychimo was last sighted in 1969, again frozen in the ice off of Alaska, but it has since disappeared. The ship is believed to have sunk in the intervening years, but recently a number of expeditions have been launched in search of now nearly 80-year-old ghost ship.\r\n<h2>7. The Carroll A. Deering</h2>\r\nPerhaps the most famous ghost ship of the Eastern Seaboard is the Carroll A. Deering, a schooner that ran aground near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921. The ship had just returned from a commercial voyage to deliver coal in South America, and had last been spotted just south of Hatteras by a lightship near Cape Lookout. It ran aground in the notori- ous Diamond Shoals, an area famous for causing shipwrecks, and sat there for several days before any help was able to reach it. When they did arrive, the Coast Guard found that the ship was completely abandoned. The navigation equipment and logbook were missing, as were the two lifeboats, but otherwise there were no signs of any kind of foul play. A massive investigation by the U.S. government followed, which discovered that several other ships had disappeared under mysterious circumstances around the same time. Several theories were eventually put forth, the most popular being that the ship fell victim to pirates or rumrunners. Others suggested that mutiny might have been the cause, as the Deering’s first mate was known to bear some animosity toward its Captain, but no definitive proof has even been discovered. The mystery surrounding the ghost ship has encouraged wild speculation, and many have argued that paranormal activity might have been responsible, citing the ship’s passage through the infamous Bermuda triangle as proof that some kind of otherworldly phenomena might be to blame.\r\n<h2>8. The Ourang Medan</h2>\r\nThe story of the Ourang Medan begins in 1947, when two American ships received a distress call while navigating the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Malaysia. The caller identified himself as a member of the crew of the Ourang Medan, a Dutch vessel, and supposedly claimed that the ship’s captain and crew were all dead or dying. The messages became jumbled and bizarre before trailing off and ending with the words: “I die.” The ships quickly raced to the scene to help. When they arrived, they found that the Ourang Medan was undamaged, but that the entire crew—even the ship’s dog— was dead, their bodies and faces locked in terrified poses and expressions, and many pointing at something that was not there. Before the rescuers could investigate further, the ship mysteriously caught on fire, and they had to evacuate. Soon after, the Ourang Medan is said to have exploded and then sank. While the details and the overall veracity of the Ourang Medan story are still widely debated, there have been a number of theories proposed about what might have caused the death of the crew. The most popular of these is that the ship was illegally transporting nitroglycerin or some kind of illegal nerve agent, which was not properly secured and seeped out into the air. Others, meanwhile, have claimed the ship was a victim of a UFO attack or some other kind of paranormal event.\r\n<h2>9. The SS Valencia</h2>\r\nThe SS Valencia was steamer ship that sank off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia in 1906. The ship had encountered bad weather near Cape Mendocino, and after drifting off course, struck a reef and began taking on water. The crew quickly began lowering lifeboats holding the ship’s 108 passengers into the water, but several of these capsized, and one simply disappeared. The Valencia eventually sank, and only 37 of the roughly 180 people on board survived. Five months later, a fisherman claimed he had found a life raft with 8 skeletons in it in a nearby cave. A search was launched, but it found nothing. Thanks to its dramatic end, the Valencia eventually became the source of numerous ghost ship stories. Sailors would often claim they could see the specter of the steamer drifting near the reef in Pachena Point, and to this day the ship is the source of frequent wild theories and ghost ship sightings. In a bizarre twist, 27 years after the sinking of the Valencia, one of its life rafts was found floating peacefully in nearby Barkley Sound. The “ghost raft” was said to be in remarkable condition, and even still had most of its original coat of paint.\r\n<h2>10. The Caleuche</h2>\r\nOne of the most well known legends of the Chilota mythology of southern Chile describes the Caleuche, a ghost ship that appears every night near the island of Chiloe. According to local legend, the ship is a kind of conscious being that sails the waters around the area, carrying with it the spirits of all the people who have drowned at sea. When spotted, the Caleuche is said to be strikingly beautiful and bright, and is always accompanied by the sounds of party music and people laughing. After appearing for a few moments, the ship is then said to disappear or submerge itself under the water. According to Chilota mythology, the spirits of the drowned are summoned to the ship by the Sirena Chilota, the Pincoya, and the Picoy, three Chilota \"water spirits\" who resemble mermaids. Once aboard the phantom ship, the drowned are said to be able to resume their life as it was before they died.','Top 10 Ghost Ships','','inherit','open','open','','32-revision-5','','','2011-10-17 22:26:08','2011-10-17 22:26:08','',32,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=69',0,'revision','',0),(70,1,'2011-10-18 18:45:21','2011-10-18 18:45:21','Ghost ships, or phantom ships, make up a big part of the seafaring lore that has been passed down by sailors and fisherman throughout the years. The ships are said to be spectral apparitions that materialize on the horizon before quickly disappearing, and they are believed to be a sign of bad things to come. The term is also used to describe abandoned vessels that are found adrift with no crew or passengers, often under frightening and mysterious circumstances. Whether real stories of these derelict ships or legends about phantom craft trawling the seas, the following are the ten most famous ghost ships that continue to provoke speculation and mystery in the nautical world.\r\n<h2>1. The Flying Dutchman</h2>\r\nIn maritime folklore, no ghost ship is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired numerous paintings, horror stories, films, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in George Barrington\'s seafaring book Voyage to Botany Bay, and since then its legend has continued to grow, thanks to numerous sightings of it by fisherman and sailors. As the story goes, the Flying Dutchman was a vessel out of Amsterdam that was captained by a man named Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies when it encountered dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope. Determined to make the crossing, Van der Decken supposedly went mad, murdered his first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, “even if God would let me sail to Judgment Day!” Despite his best efforts, the ship sank in the storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and his ghost ship are now cursed to sail the oceans for all eternity. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from deep-sea fishermen to the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have spotted it making its never- ending voyage across the oceans.\r\n<h2>2. The Mary Celeste</h2>\r\nUndoubtedly the most famous of all the real-life ghost ships, the Mary Celeste was a merchant ship that was found derelict and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in a seaworthy condition, with all its sails still up and a full store of food in its cargo hold, but its life boat, captain’s log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, had mysteriously vanished. There was no sign of a struggle, and the personal belongings of the crew and cargo of over 1500 barrels of alcohol were untouched, seemingly ruling out piracy as a possible explanation. In the years since its bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed regarding the possible fate of the Mary Celeste’s crew. These include that those aboard were killed by a waterspout, that the crew mutinied, or even that eating flour contaminated with fungus led all the passengers to hallucinate and go mad. The most probable theory remains that a storm or some kind of technical is- sue led the crew to prematurely abandon the ship in the lifeboat, and that they later died at sea. Still, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has led to much wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from ghosts to sea monsters and alien abduction as possible explanations.\r\n<h2>3. The Lady Lovibond</h2>\r\nThe UK has a long tradition of legends about ghost ships, and of these the Lady Lovibond is perhaps the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond\'s captain, Simon Peel, had just gotten married, and decided to take his ship out on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride along—going against a longstanding seafaring belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck—and set sail on Feb. 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, his first mate was also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, the man became overwhelmed with rage and jealousy and intentionally steered the boat into the deadly Goodwind Sands, a sand bar notorious for causing ship wrecks. The Lady Lovibond sank, killing all those aboard. As the legend goes, ever since the wreck the Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing the waters around Kent every 50 years. It was sighted in 1798 by a few different ship captains, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it supposedly appeared to be so real that some boats, thinking it a vessel in distress, actually sent out life rafts to help it. The Lady Lovibond was again seen in 1948, and while there were no confirmed sightings on its most recent anniversary in 1998, it continues to be one of the most well-known ghost ship legends in Europe.\r\n<h2>4. The Joyita</h2>\r\nThe Joyita was a fishing and charter boat that was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. The ship, along with its 25 passengers and crew, were en route to the Tokelau Islands when something happened, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita was reportedoverdue and a rescue attempt launched. A massive air search was undertaken, but it failed to find the missing ship, and it was not until five weeks later that a merchant ship stumbled upon the Joyita drifting some 600 miles off its original course. There was no sign of any of the passengers, crew, cargo, or life rafts, and the ship was damaged and listing quite badly to one side. Further inspection by authorities found that the ship’s radio was tuned to the universal distress signal, and a search of the deck uncovered a doctor’s bag and several bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers was ever seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that pirates killed the passengers and threw their bodies overboard, but other claims have included everything from mutiny and kidnapping to insurance fraud.\r\n<h2>5. The Octavius</h2>\r\nAlthough it is now considered more legend than anything, the story of the Octavius remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The tale dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across the Octavius floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers from the Herald boarded the Octavius, where they discovered the bodies of the crew and passengers all frozen solid by the arctic cold. Most notably, the crew found the ship\'s captain still sitting at his desk, midway through finishing a log entry from 1762, which meant the Octavius had been adrift for 13 years. According to the legend, it was eventually discovered that the captain had gambled on making a quick return to England from the Orient via the Northwest Passage, but that the ship had become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean the Octavius had completed its passage to the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain long dead from exposure to the elements.\r\n<h2>6. The Baychimo</h2>\r\nOne of the most amazing cases of a real-life ghost ship concerns the Baychimo, a cargo steamer that was abandoned and left to drift the seas near Alaska for nearly forty years. The ship was owned by the Hudson Bay Company, and was launched in the early 1920s and used to trade pelts and furs with the Inuit in northern Canada. But in 1931, the Baychimo became trapped in pack ice near Alaska, and after many attempts to break it free, its crew were eventually airlifted out of the area to safety. After a heavy blizzard, the ship managed to break free of the ice, but it was badly damaged and was abandoned by the Hudson Bay Com- pany, who assumed it would not last the winter. Amazingly, the Baychimo managed to stay afloat, and for the next 38 years, it remained adrift in the waters off Alaska. The ship became something of a local legend, and was frequently sighted aimlessly floating near the frozen ice packs by Eskimos and other vessels. It was boarded several times, but weather conditions always made salvaging it nearly impossible. The Baychimo was last sighted in 1969, again frozen in the ice off of Alaska, but it has since disappeared. The ship is believed to have sunk in the intervening years, but recently a number of expeditions have been launched in search of now nearly 80-year-old ghost ship.\r\n<h2>7. The Carroll A. Deering</h2>\r\nPerhaps the most famous ghost ship of the Eastern Seaboard is the Carroll A. Deering, a schooner that ran aground near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921. The ship had just returned from a commercial voyage to deliver coal in South America, and had last been spotted just south of Hatteras by a lightship near Cape Lookout. It ran aground in the notori- ous Diamond Shoals, an area famous for causing shipwrecks, and sat there for several days before any help was able to reach it. When they did arrive, the Coast Guard found that the ship was completely abandoned. The navigation equipment and logbook were missing, as were the two lifeboats, but otherwise there were no signs of any kind of foul play. A massive investigation by the U.S. government followed, which discovered that several other ships had disappeared under mysterious circumstances around the same time. Several theories were eventually put forth, the most popular being that the ship fell victim to pirates or rumrunners. Others suggested that mutiny might have been the cause, as the Deering’s first mate was known to bear some animosity toward its Captain, but no definitive proof has even been discovered. The mystery surrounding the ghost ship has encouraged wild speculation, and many have argued that paranormal activity might have been responsible, citing the ship’s passage through the infamous Bermuda triangle as proof that some kind of otherworldly phenomena might be to blame.\r\n<h2>8. The Ourang Medan</h2>\r\nThe story of the Ourang Medan begins in 1947, when two American ships received a distress call while navigating the Strait of Malacca, off the coast of Malaysia. The caller identified himself as a member of the crew of the Ourang Medan, a Dutch vessel, and supposedly claimed that the ship’s captain and crew were all dead or dying. The messages became jumbled and bizarre before trailing off and ending with the words: “I die.” The ships quickly raced to the scene to help. When they arrived, they found that the Ourang Medan was undamaged, but that the entire crew—even the ship’s dog— was dead, their bodies and faces locked in terrified poses and expressions, and many pointing at something that was not there. Before the rescuers could investigate further, the ship mysteriously caught on fire, and they had to evacuate. Soon after, the Ourang Medan is said to have exploded and then sank. While the details and the overall veracity of the Ourang Medan story are still widely debated, there have been a number of theories proposed about what might have caused the death of the crew. The most popular of these is that the ship was illegally transporting nitroglycerin or some kind of illegal nerve agent, which was not properly secured and seeped out into the air. Others, meanwhile, have claimed the ship was a victim of a UFO attack or some other kind of paranormal event.\r\n<h2>9. The SS Valencia</h2>\r\nThe SS Valencia was steamer ship that sank off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia in 1906. The ship had encountered bad weather near Cape Mendocino, and after drifting off course, struck a reef and began taking on water. The crew quickly began lowering lifeboats holding the ship’s 108 passengers into the water, but several of these capsized, and one simply disappeared. The Valencia eventually sank, and only 37 of the roughly 180 people on board survived. Five months later, a fisherman claimed he had found a life raft with 8 skeletons in it in a nearby cave. A search was launched, but it found nothing. Thanks to its dramatic end, the Valencia eventually became the source of numerous ghost ship stories. Sailors would often claim they could see the specter of the steamer drifting near the reef in Pachena Point, and to this day the ship is the source of frequent wild theories and ghost ship sightings. In a bizarre twist, 27 years after the sinking of the Valencia, one of its life rafts was found floating peacefully in nearby Barkley Sound. The “ghost raft” was said to be in remarkable condition, and even still had most of its original coat of paint.\r\n<h2>10. The Caleuche</h2>\r\nOne of the most well known legends of the Chilota mythology of southern Chile describes the Caleuche, a ghost ship that appears every night near the island of Chiloe. According to local legend, the ship is a kind of conscious being that sails the waters around the area, carrying with it the spirits of all the people who have drowned at sea. When spotted, the Caleuche is said to be strikingly beautiful and bright, and is always accompanied by the sounds of party music and people laughing. After appearing for a few moments, the ship is then said to disappear or submerge itself under the water. According to Chilota mythology, the spirits of the drowned are summoned to the ship by the Sirena Chilota, the Pincoya, and the Picoy, three Chilota \"water spirits\" who resemble mermaids. Once aboard the phantom ship, the drowned are said to be able to resume their life as it was before they died.','Top 10 Ghost Ships','','inherit','open','open','','32-revision-6','','','2011-10-18 18:45:21','2011-10-18 18:45:21','',32,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=70',0,'revision','',0),(76,1,'2011-10-27 17:40:59','2011-10-27 17:40:59','','braid dorado teaser','','inherit','open','open','','braid','','','2011-10-27 17:40:59','2011-10-27 17:40:59','',75,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/braid.gif',0,'attachment','image/gif',0),(77,1,'2011-10-27 17:39:19','2011-10-27 17:39:19','The Braid Dorado Teaser is designed look like a small Dorado.

Corey Schultz, of Waverly, Va., caught the fish Saturday aboard the Sea Breeze out of Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. The fish measured 112 inches curved fork length with a 76-inch girth. Schultz caught the fish on a Shimano 80 rod and reel using 130 line test with ballyhoo for bait.\r\n\r\n\"It was all that rod and reel wanted, I can tell you that,\" Schultz said.\r\n\r\nSchultz had caught a 350-pound tuna with the same captain – Ned Ashby – last year and released the catch.

Umbrella Rigs are either loved or hated by fisherman up and down the coast. But when the fishing is tough, you will not find a better solution to catching stripers anywhere. Why do the professionals use them day in and day out? Because they catch fish!!\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the umbrella rig is to simulate a small pod of bait, being chased by one or two larger baits. That\'s it, now picture 3, 4, 5, 6, or up to 12 or more of these Umbrella Rigs in the water at one time. That is a big school of fish chasing your boat. They are definitely attention-getters.\r\n\r\nThere all kinds of Umbrella Rigs showing up from ultra big to really small. Using the larger Umbrellas does create more stress to your trolling outfit, so stout poles and good reels should be deployed when hooking up to a umbrella frame.\r\n\r\nMost frames that we use are 20 inches in length, which allows you to set the Umbrella up as a Single drop, (Using one Lure down the middle), or the very popular double drop, (Using two lures, one on the end of each frame). You double your chances of catching two fish at one time using the double drop umbrella rig.\r\n\r\nGo on just about any Charter Boat on the Chesapeake Bay that fishes umbrella rigs and the plastic shad bodies on the frames will usually be only 2 colors. white and chartreuse. You will also find only 2 sizes of the shad bodies 6\" for teasers, and 9\" to go on the lures, the 9\" shads will also have stinger hooks placed in the shad, as most fish seem to come off this last hook.\r\n\r\nFishing theses types of rigs does require some thought, the time of year, and the area you fish in, and undoubtedly a good depth finder. In the spring time, most of the stripers in the Chesapeake Bay are up high in the water column, and most umbrellas are deployed from top of water down to 35 feet down give or take, and in the fall / winter on the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, we try to cover ever aspect of the water depth. \r\n\r\n(Top to Bottom)\r\nTo accomplish the different depths needed to catch these stripers, some umbrellas can be deployed using just the weight of the frame and the lures attached to the frame, also we rely on different size inline weights from 2oz\'s up to 28oz\'s to cover the different water columns. These Inline sinkers are placed in between the main line of the pole to the leader going to the umbrella rigs. Make sure you are using a minimum of 150lb good quality snap swivels for these connections.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to the leader, we also use good quality leader from 100lb test to 200lb test. The length\'s of these leaders can be anywhere from 4 feet to 12 feet. When the fishing is wide open I prefer the short leader as the angler reels the fish up to the boat, the fish can be netted without having to hand line the extra leader. When stripers are in a frenzy, leader length does not make a difference. So go short!\r\n\r\nWhen the current is flying, and the water depth is deep, another way which has become very popular is to use a large mojo from 24oz\'s to 48oz\'s or even larger off a 3 way from the main line. We only use white or Chartreuse colored heads, and will place a 9\" shad on the hook of the mojo. This particular rig can also be called the closest rig to the boat, as this set up has the most weight, so you want it close to the boat, I usually run mine 55 feet from the boat.\r\n\r\nEvery boat is different when it comes to trolling which leads us to deployment of your spread. Now there are no guarantees that fish will be caught, that\'s why its called fishing and not catching, but you will improve your catch ratio by fishing with more baits in the water. Once you figure out what works, stick with it, as you will begin fine tuning your spread. Every rod we fish has its own rod holder, and is marked to match that rod holder, so there is no confusion where a rod goes.\r\n\r\nIt really helps when you don\'t have a mate to keep it straight. Take different colors of tape and mark each rod, and rod holder. Blue to Blue, Red to Red, Orange to Orange, you get the idea. There are many ways to mark lines, by using line meters, using the level wind on the reel if you have that type of reel, or permanent markers, even using tying thread which requires time and space. The reason to mark these lines is to get the lines spaced out within the spread. If not you will just end up with a big bundle of mess in the first turn you take.\r\n\r\nWorking from front to back of a 26 foot center console, I setup my spread as follows: The mid port and mid starboard lines off the sides of the boat are set to 55 feet with a small single drop umbrella and a large mojo, off the 3 way we discussed above. The next two I call my port and starboard corner rods which are marked at 125, using double drop umbrellas, with different inline sinkers of 16oz on one side and 20oz on the other. Then we shoot a long line right down the middle of the spread about 175 feet back. Using a small single drop umbrella or just a double rig without any extra weight.\r\n\r\nThe double rig is just two lures one at 10 ft, with a 6oz parachute, and the other is at 6 ft , with a 4 oz parachute. Both of the lures are tied to a 3 way which goes to the main line. Both parachute lures have 9 inch sassy shads with stinger hooks installed in them.\r\n\r\nThe above examples are just ways of deploying a spread, and many more poles can be set by deploying outriggers, down riggers, planner boards, and dummy lines.\r\n','How to Catch a Striper on Umbrella Rigs','','publish','open','open','','how-to-catch-a-striper-on-umbrella-rigs','','','2013-04-02 12:57:28','2013-04-02 16:57:28','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=173',59,'post','',0),(741,1,'2012-04-01 00:48:29','2012-04-01 04:48:29','<em><strong>By Ernie Horvath</strong></em>\r\nYou just purchased a new fishing rod for a specific type of fishing. You put a reel on the rod and went fishing but some- thing just didn’t feel right. The rod and reel combo did not perform to your expectations. The distance and accuracy fell short of your requirements, and the sensitivity was poor or non-existent.\r\n\r\nSo, what went wrong? You thought you did your homework and checked with your fishing friends to get their input. You researched different manufactures on-line, and you wore the print off the pages of your favorite mail-order catalog. So off you go to your favorite tackle store armed with all the info you thought you needed. Talking to the salesperson they agree and say, “That’s what I use” or something along that line.\r\n\r\nThe facts are: most rod manufactures mark the rod specs and actions ALMOST the same. For example, a medium action rod with an extra fast tip from one manufacturer is a medium action with a fast tip from another, even though both specify, extra-fast. Also the applications don’t cover the entire lure or fish species the rod applies to. Example: Find a rod marked for speckled trout or weakfish, GOOD LUCK! Actually some of the best inshore trout rods are marketed toward the bass community. Rods marked for shaky head or drop shot series in the lighter actions are perfect for speckled trout. (Just an example)\r\nHowever the biggest mistake folks make when buying a rod is they don’t bring the reel with them that they are going to use on the rod. Bring your reel filled with line, put it on the rod, take it out and cast it! See how the rod loads with the line through the guides, not deflecting the tip on the floor or ceiling in the store. That does nothing to tell you how the rod will perform. If the store won’t let you test cast the rod, find a store that will.\r\n\r\nIf you’re still not satisfied, contact a reliable custom rod builder. They will spend the time with you to ensure you get the rod you need for your type of fishing and most of the time the custom rod prices are in-line with the high- end factory rods.\r\n\r\nNext month, build your own custom fishing rod!','Do It Right The First Time','','publish','closed','closed','','do-it-right-the-first-time','','','2013-04-02 12:57:27','2013-04-02

Until recent years, the Outer Banks of North Carolina were considered some of the most isolated and under-developed areas in the country. The banks consist of a string of sand dunes that serve to protect the mainland of North Carolina from the Atlantic Ocean. They are separated from the mainland by large bodies of water called “sounds.” The Outer Banks are approximately 175 miles long from the Virginia line to below Cape Lookout. Perhaps the islands are best described by the name of one of the Indian tribes that lived there....”Hatterasil”, an Algonquin word meaning “there is less vegetation”.\n\nThe following history was derived from historic journals of sailing vessels researched from archives in England and Spain, regarding exploration and colonization in the 16th century. The author, the late Dale Burrus,was a lifelong resident of Hatteras Island, North Carolina, and was Senior Inspector for the Spanish Mustang Registry at the time he wrote this history.\n<h3>Lucas Vasquez de Allyon’s Expeditions</h3>\nAmong the first explorers to visit the North Carolina coast was a Spaniard named Lucas Vasquez de Allyon, who had received a charter from the Spanish king which gave him the right to explore and colonize much of the eastern seaboard. In 1521, Allyon sent one of his captains, Gordilk, in charge of an expedition which landed at River John the Baptist (thought to have been Cape Fear). Other Allyon explorers spent considerable time at a place called “Chicom,” thought to be in the same vicinity.\n\nThe Spaniards had trouble with the Indians. It seems they were taking Indian children as slaves and sending them to the West Indies. There was a great Indian uprising led by Corees, and the Spaniards were forced to flee to stronger Spanish holdings in Florida, leaving behind all their livestock.\n<h3>Richard Greenville’s Expeditions</h3>\nThe next direct line of history comes from vessel logs detailing the importation of livestock to the Outer Banks by Richard Greenville’s expeditions from 1584 to 1590. For four years, Raleigh’s ships maintained a steady traffic between England and the Outer Banks, in spring of 1584, 1585, 1586, and 1587. They followed the same general route to the Canary Islands and across the Atlantic, stopping at the same places in the West Indies such as Tallaboa Bay and Puerto Rico. They reached the Outer Banks in early summer. A Spaniard concerned over these activities, could have set his calendar by the comings and goings of these vessels carrying colonists and supplies to the land the English called Virginia, in honor of their virgin queen.\n\nAlthough Spain and England were at a state of war during this period, trade was still carried on between the Spanish colonists of the West Indies and the ships of Greenville. The Spanish authorities in Puerto Rico were not passive while this was going on. The Governor, Diego Menendez de Valdez, claimed that he received news at San Juan de Puerto Rico of Commander Jones’ (commanding the Tyger) approach to the southern shore on May 10. He ordered his lieutenant at San Jerman who had 40 men, to keep watch on the English who had, he assumed, only landed to water. On May 16, a patrol of eight Spanish horsemen made their appearance at an encampment, but soon disappeared when challenged by ten of Jone’s arquebusman.\n\nOn May 22 a further party of twenty horsemen appeared, led by the commander if the local garrison. This time Greenville sent out two horsemen of his own and some footmen to arrange a parley. Two men from each side exchanged formal courtesies, the English declaring they were anxious to trade and to purchase food. A rendezvous for an exchange was arranged two days ahead. The lieutenant was now in a position to send a full report to the governor, which reached him on May 25. He at once sent off 35 arquebusmen to assist the lieutenant in harassing the English if they emerged from the encampment.\n\nThese reinforcements were only a one-day march from San Juan, when they were met by news that the English had “quitted their fort.” Greenville, after launching his pinnance on May 23, had gone to the rendezvous the next day, but the Spaniards did not appear. He returned to the camp, where he found the huts were burned and the embankments thrown down.\n\nIn a prominent place he erected a post and carved it with an inscription announcing the safe arrival and departure of the Tyger and Elizabeth as a guide to the missing vessels of the squadron, should they arrive later. The Spanish, however, uprooted the post soon after and with some difficulty had its inscription translated and forwarded to Spain.\n\nThe reason for Greenville’s desertion of the encampment was the likelihood of a Spanish attack, but he did not at once leave the coast. He lay in wait for “prizes” in the Mona Channel and he took a small frigate, but she proved to be empty. A more valuable prize was made the same night, belonging to Lorenzo de Vallejo, which had come from Spain with the flotilla carrying cloth and other merchandise. She had put into Santa Domingo and was making her way with cargo and passengers to San Juan when she was taken without struggle. Greenville put “prize crews” on board and retired to a nearby anchorage, having apparently sent word ashore to San Jerman that he again wished to trade.\n\nOne of the commanders, Commander Lane, was persuaded to take the smaller prize with some Spanish prisoners, and to bring salt from what was apparently Salinas Bay, near Cape Rojo. Finding two salt mounds ready, he enclosed them with entrenchments and began removing them, but a Spanish force came up. Lane believed this force to be commanded by the governor himself, and the force consisted of 40 horses and 300 footmen. They did not attempt to try Lane’s defenses. Lane, on rejoining the Tyger, protested violently at having been placed in jeopardy with a handful of men, and began a series of quarrels with Greenville, which destroyed the harmony of the expedition.\n\nMeanwhile, the Tyger, the Elizabeth, the pinnance and the larger prize had been trading with the Spaniards in the vicinity of Guanica or Guayanilla. Neither the English nor the Spanish documents are quite clear how this was arranged, but it appears that Greenville offered one of the frigates for sale, attempted to ransom his prisoners (“getting good round summes, but nothing at allone of the released Spaniards claimed”, he said). The ships logs show that Greenville acquired livestock, hogs sows, young cattle, mares and male horses, foodstuffs, plants of sugar cane, bananas and other fruits to supply the colony which it was intending to grow there. The governor, hearing of such exchanges, sent orders that they were to cease, but again Greenville had moved before his instructions had taken effect. The squadron (now of five vessels) sailed on May 29 for the north coast of Hispaniola.\n\nAccording to Spanish documentation, the Spaniards put in at Puerto-de-Plata and then moved on to the Bahia Isabela, the harbor immediately to the west. After two days at Isabela, Governor Alcade and Captain Regifo de Angulo made friendly overtures to Greenville, promising to come to visit him. The English ships were in an area which had a long record of illicit trade that took place with the French. On June 5, Greenville and his company were invited onshore, where an elaborate entertainment was prepared for them. Feasting was followed by a bullfight and sports by commerce. On June 6, male horses and mares (with saddles and bridles), cows and bulls, sheep and swine were purchased for the colony, together with hides, sugar, ginger, tobacco and pearls (most of which were evidently for the English market). The English had already been observed on Puerto Rico collecting banana plants and other fruit trees along the shore and they continued to do so in Hispaniola. John White, a commander, recorded a number of plants and animals on paper.\n\nWhatever Greenville’s views on the missing vessels were (and we do not know precisely how stores and men had been distributed between them) it is clear that he did not regard their absence as sufficient enough to make him abandon the projected colony. His men were well, and his supplies of livestock, plants and food improved the prospects of settlement, though the delays had sacrificed valuable planting time. He sailed from Hispaniola on June 7 northwest, being nearly lost when he visited a small island the next day to take seals. The following day, they failed to find salt on one of the Caicos Islands and entered the Bahamas, landing at Eleuthera, Guanima on June 12, and Ciguateo (Great Abaco) on June 15. Then, sailing through Providence North West Channel, he sighted the American mainland on June 20, between 27 degrees and 30 degrees north.\n\nOn June 23 they encountered the shoals of a headland which they believed to be, and most probably was Cape Fear. Rounding the shoals with difficulty, they anchored the next day in a harbor which is likely to have been that of Beaufort, North Carolina. They were now clearly probing the coast closely. On June 26, they came to an inlet through the Carolina Banks, called Wococon, which is about in the middle of the present Portsmouth Island.\n\nCommander Lane said, in his journal book, that all their ships went aground on the shallow bar, but were floated off without too much difficulty. However, the Tyger had been lying offshore, and when an attempt was made on June 29 to bring her into harbor, serious disaster occurred. She struck, according to the Tyger journal. Two hours of struggle went on to prevent her from breaking up. Finally she was beached. The damage was a severe blow to the intended colony, since all the corn, salt, meal, rice, biscuits, and other provisions were destroyed or damaged by the salt water. Livestock was either lost, or swam ashore. This was a first and salutary example of the dangers which threatened shipping along this most risky stretch of coast.\nFor many years, it has been very difficult to put together the needed information concerning the early exploration and colonization attempts by Sir Walter Raleigh’s ships, especially the parts dealing with his exploits and trading in the West Indies, but in 1955 the Halkuyt Society published a two volume set which included all of the old material, plus considerable new information, most of it located in archives in England and Spain.\n<h3>John Lawson’s Observations (early 1700’s)</h3>\nA quote from an English historian, John Lawson (who explored and documented southeastern North Carolina from 1700 until his death at the hands of the Tuscaroras in 1711) says, “The horses are well-shaped and swift. The best of them would sell for ten or twelve pounds in England. They prove excellent drudges, and will travel incredible journeys. They are troubled with very few distempers, neither do the cloudy-faced grey horses go blind here as in Europe. As for sprains, splints and ringbones, they are here never met withal, as I can learn. Were we to have our stallions and choice of mares from England, or any other of a good sort, and careful to keep them on the highlands, we could not fail of a good breed; but having been supplied with our first horses from the neighboring plantations, which were but mean, they do not as yet come up to the Excellency of the English horses; tho we generally find that the colts exceed in beauty and strength....”\nJohn Lawson also reported how well the horses were treated by the Indians.... “These creatures they continually cram and feed with maize, and what the horse will eat—‘til he is as fat as a hog, never making any farther use of him than to fetch a deer home”.\n<h3>Edmund Ruffin’s Report on Banker Horses (mid-1800’s)</h3>\nIn 1856, another historian visited the Outer Banks. His name was Edmund Ruffin, famous as an authority on agriculture and as an editor (but more usually credited with firing the first shot in the Civil War). He said “Twice a year on the Banks, the stock owners hold a wild horse penning, at which time all of the wild horses on the island were corralled and the colts branded. The horses pennings are much attended, and are very interesting festivals for all the residents of the neigh-boring mainland. There are few adults residing within a days sailing of the horse pen that have not attended one or more of these exciting scenes. A strong enclosure, called the horse pen, is made at a narrow part of the reef and suitable in other respects for the purpose---with a connected strong fence stretching quite across the reef. All of the many proprietors of the horses, and many assistants, drive the horses from the remote extremities of the reef, and easily encircle and bring all the horses to the fence and near to the pen”.\n\nRuffin said that all of the horses in use on the reef, and on many of the nearest farms on the mainland are of these previously wild “banks “horses. He described them as “all of small size, with rough shaggy coats, and long manes; their hoofs in many cases grow to unusual lengths, they are capable of great endurance of labor and hardship, and live so roughly that any others from abroad seldom live a year on such food and other such great exposure. By the same token, he said when the banks horses were removed to the mainland, away from the salt marshes, many die before learning to eat grain or other strange provider, while other injure or kill themselves in struggling in vain efforts to break through the stables or enclosures in which they are subsequently confined. The horses fed entirely on the coarse salt grasses of the marshes and supply their want of fresh water by pawing away the sand deep enough to reach the fresh water which oozes into the excavation, and which reservoir serves for this use while it remains open”.\n<h3>Federal Writers Project (late 1930’s)</h3>\nIn 1939 a book was compiled and written by the Federal Writers Project of the Federal Works Agency Work Projects Administration for the state of North Carolina. They write “On Cape Hatteras, wildlife is abundant. For years herds of wild horses, cattle, and hogs ranged at will, until the Federal Program of Sand Fixation by Grass Plantings necessitated a strict stock law. In 1938, the county placed a bounty on the few remaining wild horses, traditional descendants of Barbary horses brought over by the Raleigh colonists or saved from wrecked Portuguese ships. In winter, the waters are dotted with ducks and geese, and there is frequently the gleam of a white swan. Sandpipers and gulls feed in flocks, undisturbed by scurrying sandfiddlers. Eagles and Ospreys wheel above the water on the lookout for prey, and schools of porpoises sport just beyond the breakers of the roaring Atlantic.”\n<h3>Spanish Mustang Registry Observation (early 1980’s)</h3>\nDare County is only one of the counties that make up the North Carolina Outer Banks. Currituck County borders Dare on the north, and Hyde County on the south. In more remote areas of these counties, some of the pure Banker Horses were able to survive. In June, 1982, members of the Spanish Mustang Registry came to the Outer Banks and “due to feats of great endurance”, were able to observe the last known remaining bands of Banker Horses still existing in the natural state as they have been for the past 500 years---on the Currituck County Outer Banks.\n<h3>Conclusions</h3>\nAlthough the Ocracoke strain of Spanish mustang cannot be directly traced to a single breeder, importer, or sire, certain physiological features of present day horses, and historical data lead strongly to the conclusion that the ancestors of these horses were escapees from Spanish stock brought to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the first part of the 16th century.\n\nAccounts of Spanish explorations and colonization attempts in the early 1500’s state that Spanish Barb and Arabian horses were imported. One colony, d’Allyon’s, describes topographical features which Lefler and Newsome (A History of North Carolina, UNC Press, 1973) believe were around Cape Fear, North Carolina. The colony failed and the Spaniards retreated to their stronger holdings in Florida. The circumstances of the retreat, manner of travel and the coastal topography offer a combination of events conducive to the establishment of feral herds along the barrier islands.\nPresent day Ocracoke and Corolla wild horses carry the distinguishing features of Spanish type horses. One striking similarity to the Arabian ancestry is the number of vertebra (one less than most breeds) which occurs in the Banker Horse Breed. Their even temperament, endurance, size, and the startling beauty which crops up frequently in the Banker Horses all point strongly to their dramatic history...these are the remnants of once numerous herds of Spanish stock which ran free along the sandy islands of our coast.\n\nThe Spanish Mustang Registry is satisfied that the Banker Horses, in particular the Corolla strain, are as lineally pure to the 16th century Spanish importations as can be found in North America today, and that they compare closely to the selectively bred South American Spanish derivative stock.\n\n<strong>COROLLA WILD HORSE FUND</strong>\nP.O.

18:35:24','<em>By David Conley</em>\r\n\r\nFishing with umbrella rigs has been referred to as using a lure with training wheels. Umbrella Rigs are either loved or hated by fisherman up and down the coast. But when the fishing is tough, you will not find a better solution to catching stripers anywhere. Why do the professionals use them day in and day out? Because they catch fish!!\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the umbrella rig is to simulate a small pod of bait, being chased by one or two larger baits. That\'s it, now picture 3, 4, 5, 6, or up to 12 or more of these Umbrella Rigs in the water at one time. That is a big school of fish chasing your boat. They are definitely attention-getters.\r\n\r\nThere all kinds of Umbrella Rigs showing up from ultra big to really small. Using the larger Umbrellas does create more stress to your trolling outfit, so stout poles and good reels should be deployed when hooking up to a umbrella frame.\r\n\r\nMost frames that we use are 20 inches in length, which allows you to set the Umbrella up as a Single drop, (Using one Lure down the middle), or the very popular double drop, (Using two lures, one on the end of each frame). You double your chances of catching two fish at one time using the double drop umbrella rig.\r\n\r\nGo on just about any Charter Boat on the Chesapeake Bay that fishes umbrella rigs and the plastic shad bodies on the frames will usually be only 2 colors. white and chartreuse. You will also find only 2 sizes of the shad bodies 6\" for teasers, and 9\" to go on the lures, the 9\" shads will also have stinger hooks placed in the shad, as most fish seem to come off this last hook.\r\n\r\nFishing theses types of rigs does require some thought, the time of year, and the area you fish in, and undoubtedly a good depth finder. In the spring time, most of the stripers in the Chesapeake Bay are up high in the water column, and most umbrellas are deployed from top of water down to 35 feet down give or take, and in the fall / winter on the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, we try to cover ever aspect of the water depth. \r\n\r\n(Top to Bottom)\r\nTo accomplish the different depths needed to catch these stripers, some umbrellas can be deployed using just the weight of the frame and the lures attached to the frame, also we rely on different size inline weights from 2oz\'s up to 28oz\'s to cover the different water columns. These Inline sinkers are placed in between the main line of the pole to the leader going to the umbrella rigs. Make sure you are using a minimum of 150lb good quality snap swivels for these connections.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to the leader, we also use good quality leader from 100lb test to 200lb test. The length\'s of these leaders can be anywhere from 4 feet to 12 feet. When the fishing is wide open I prefer the short leader as the angler reels the fish up to the boat, the fish can be netted without having to hand line the extra leader. When stripers are in a frenzy, leader length does not make a difference. So go short!\r\n\r\nWhen the current is flying, and the water depth is deep, another way which has become very popular is to use a large mojo from 24oz\'s to 48oz\'s or even larger off a 3 way from the main line. We only use white or Chartreuse colored heads, and will place a 9\" shad on the hook of the mojo. This particular rig can also be called the closest rig to the boat, as this set up has the most weight, so you want it close to the boat, I usually run mine 55 feet from the boat.\r\n\r\nEvery boat is different when it comes to trolling which leads us to deployment of your spread. Now there are no guarantees that fish will be caught, that\'s why its called fishing and not catching, but you will improve your catch ratio by fishing with more baits in the water. Once you figure out what works, stick with it, as you will begin fine tuning your spread. Every rod we fish has its own rod holder, and is marked to match that rod holder, so there is no confusion where a rod goes.\r\n\r\nIt really helps when you don\'t have a mate to keep it straight. Take different colors of tape and mark each rod, and rod holder. Blue to Blue, Red to Red, Orange to Orange, you get the idea. There are many ways to mark lines, by using line meters, using the level wind on the reel if you have that type of reel, or permanent markers, even using tying thread which requires time and space. The reason to mark these lines is to get the lines spaced out within the spread. If not you will just end up with a big bundle of mess in the first turn you take.\r\n\r\nWorking from front to back of a 26 foot center console, I setup my spread as follows: The mid port and mid starboard lines off the sides of the boat are set to 55 feet with a small single drop umbrella and a large mojo, off the 3 way we discussed above. The next two I call my port and starboard corner rods which are marked at 125, using double drop umbrellas, with different inline sinkers of 16oz on one side and 20oz on the other. Then we shoot a long line right down the middle of the spread about 175 feet back. Using a small single drop umbrella or just a double rig without any extra weight.\r\n\r\nThe double rig is just two lures one at 10 ft, with a 6oz parachute, and the other is at 6 ft , with a 4 oz parachute. Both of the lures are tied to a 3 way which goes to the main line. Both parachute lures have 9 inch sassy shads with stinger hooks installed in them.\r\n\r\nThe above examples are just ways of deploying a spread, and many more poles can be set by deploying outriggers, down riggers, planner boards, and dummy lines.\r\n','How to Catch a Striper on Umbrella Rigs','','inherit','open','open','','173-revision-2','','','2011-12-05 18:35:24','2011-12-05 18:35:24','',173,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=176',0,'revision','',0),(177,1,'2011-08-01 18:36:52','2011-08-01 18:36:52','Americans consume more than a billion pounds of shrimp a year. It’s readily available, relatively inexpensive, versatile and low-fat.\r\n\r\nFew people know that there are about six distinct species commonly sold in the United States, not including Maine sweet shrimp which unfortunately are very rarely seen for sale. The season for Maine shrimp is mid-winter, sometime between November and March. Maine shrimp are very small shrimp, so sweet and tender that they can be eaten raw, and once in a while, sushi bars will have them. If you ever come upon them , buy several pounds. They can be cooked or eaten raw, and freeze well.\r\n\r\nAnother sought after shrimp is the Gulf white shrimp which are usually the most expensive and frequently the best, but nowadays the black tiger shrimp, which are farmed, are extremely popular and totally acceptable.\r\n\r\nAlmost all shrimp sold in the Northeast is frozen. Flash-frozen shrimp can be delicious when handled and stored properly. Modern improved freezing technology has made fresh shrimp increasingly rare, and it is safe to say that almost any shrimp you buy has been frozen and thawed by retailer or chef. Shrimp farmers maintain that farm-raised shrimp are more consistently good because they are harvested when ready to pack and are packed right before shipping. The shelf life of previously frozen shrimp is not much more than a couple of days, so buying thawed shrimp gives you neither the flavor of fresh nor the flexibility of frozen.\r\n\r\nTo improve the flavor and texture of shrimp give them a simple brine. This also helps to defrost them quickly. Put your frozen shrimp in a bowl of cold water. For a pound of shrimp add about a half of a cup of kosher salt ( regular salt can be used also ). Exact measurements are not necessary. Brining does not make the shrimp salty. Brine the shrimp for about an hour, stirring once in awhile to dissolve the ice on the shrimp. Rinse them off and they’re ready to be cooked. You will especially notice the difference in taste and texture if you are using the shrimp for something as simple as boiled shrimp. \r\n\r\nShrimp are categorized by size. Labeling them small, medium, large, jumbo, etc. is subjective and relative. A better way to choose the size is by the number of shrimp it takes to make a pound. Shrimp marked 16/20 for example require 16 to 20 shrimp to make a pound. Those labeled U-10 for example (the U means under) requires that fewer than 10 shrimp make up a pound, so obviously these are larger shrimp. Shrimp from 15 to 30 shrimp a pound are the best all around choices. Remember, the smaller the shrimp the more work it is to peel them. I personally like the two- pound bags of frozen shrimp labeled 21-25.\r\n\r\nBuying seafood in local supermarkets has become extremely popular. Most of the shrimp is available in two-pound bags. If two pounds of shrimp are too much for you, take out the amount you want, close the bag tightly, put it in another self-sealing plastic bag and it will last for a couple of weeks in the freezer. When purchasing the shrimp, make sure the shrimp are completely frozen, and if not, ask the person taking care of the seafood department to go into the freezer for your shrimp. If you see a lot of ice in the bag, it means the shrimp has been defrosted during handling and then refrozen. In that case the quality has already deteriorated. You don’t want to purchase that shrimp. \r\n\r\nThe bagged shrimp will most likely have the shell on, but split, and it will be deveined which saves a lot of work and means that black line which is the intestinal tract has been removed. Some people think that you can get ill from eating that intestinal tract. It may not be aesthetically pleasing but it is harmless. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be invited to a Southern shrimp boil, the shrimp are boiled and poured out on a table lined with newspaper and no one even thinks about deveining the shrimp. The only exception is in very large shrimp. If the vein is thick, visible and black you may want to remove it.\r\n\r\n<h3>Clams</h3>\r\n\r\nClams are readily available all year round. They conjure up pictures of lazy summer days sitting at an outdoor clam bar after a day at the beach and devouring plate after plate of these succulent bivalves moments after they have been taken out of their icy bed and shucked. All they need is a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dab of spicy cocktail sauce. It doesn’t get any better than that!!\r\n\r\nThe most popular clams for serving raw on the half shell are littlenecks. They are the smallest Atlantic hard-shell clam. They must measure at least an inch from the point of the hinge to the top. Two-inch littlenecks are sometimes called topnecks. They are delicious raw and both of these clams are excellent broiled. Cherrystone clams are the next largest clam and can be eaten raw on the half shell and are also good chopped, seasoned, replaced in the shell and baked. Chowder clams are just that - they are mainly used for chowder. The clams can be opened raw or steamed to open and then chopped for chowders and clam pies. And now we come to the well-known soft-shell clam, the steamer. These are best steamed and eaten after a dunk into their clam broth to clean any sand left on them and then a dip into some melted butter. They are also excellent fried. Clam strips come from the steamer. The strips are the meat on the sides of the clam, but when you see them on a menu, fresh, fried whole-bellied clams are a real treat if you are a clam lover. \r\n\r\nIf you do not dig your own clams, and don’t have a generous friend who does, you’ll have to head to the fish market. Fresh clams come to market in the shell or already shucked. Clams should be firmly closed and odorless. If a clam is slightly opened, pinch it closed. If it remains closed on it’s own, it’s alive. If it remains open, discard it. Sometimes a clam will be bad even if it is alive. When you open it raw, the smell gives it away. When fresh, clams should be juicy and have a mild, briny aroma.  Softshell clams, whose shells never close, will draw back their longneck into their shell when you touch them. If the neck is hanging limply, discard that clam. To store clams, keep them in the refrigerator in a large, loosely covered container or in a large plastic bag punched with ventilation holes. Clams need air to survive. If you are purchasing clams at the market, make sure the bag has air holes even if you are not far from home. \r\n\r\nWhen you are ready to prepare your clams, scrub the shells under cold running water with a stiff vegetable brush. Discard any with broken or gaping shells. There is a difference of opinion whether to soak clams in some water for awhile with a little cornmeal to make them expel any sand. Don’t bother with the corn meal, put them in a colander which is in a pot of cold water and ice for about a half hour. Then remove them from the water and refrigerate if not ready to use them. Clams that are left to rest and are not disturbed open easier than clams that have been tossed around. If you have never opened clams the best way to learn is to observe someone who does. Many fish markets will open your clams for you if you give them some notice. Make sure they also give you the delicious clam liquid.','The Versatile Shrimp','','publish','open','open','','the-versatile-shrimp','','','2013-04-02 12:57:28','2013-04-02 16:57:28','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=177',43,'post','',0),(178,1,'2011-12-05 18:37:54','2011-12-05 18:37:54','Americans consume more than a billion pounds of shrimp a year.

Ken Roy</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\"I’d sure like to catch a Cobia. I\'ve been trying for several years and only caught a few shorts.\" </blockquote>\r\n\r\nI hear that several times each summer and I don’t remember many folks going home without catching one. If folks want to target Cobia, we generally catch them. In fact, it is an unusual day in the summer when we don’t catch several with 50% or more being legal whether we are targeting them exclusively or not. This doesn’t mean that Cobia are accidental catches for Whopper Stopper, though.\r\n\r\nCobia are, by far, the easiest to catch of all large fish on this coast. For the life of me, I can’t see why more folks don’t catch Cobia almost every trip. Here are a few tips that should make you a better Cobia fisherman.\r\n\r\nLive bait works best but I often catch them on a Bonita fillet lying on the bottom while fishing for Tarpon and sharks. Wire leader is not necessary except when lots of Kingfish and big Spanish mackerel are around. Sharks are seldom enough trouble to make me use wire.\r\n\r\nWhere? Darn near anywhere from the rivers and flats to grass lines a hundred miles offshore. A large percentage of grass flats Cobia are accidentally hooked by Trout fishermen on bait or artificial lures. Notice that I said \"hooked\" instead of caught. 50% of folks who are fishing for Trout will loose every Cobia they hook because they are not prepared for a fish that can pull more than 5# of drag. I have seen more than one person grab the spool to stop the fish when line started screaming off the reel. Not a good technique when you are fishing with 8# test! I’d venture to say that 25% of the boats out Trout fishing on a given day don’t have a gaff aboard and if they do, they don’t have a clue how to use it!\r\n\r\nLots of decent sized Cobia are hooked on the flats but the larger ones are landed by guys who are prepared. For most shallow water Cobia, 8# mono is entirely adequate as long as you have a smooth drag, set right. With a 6’ long 20# shock leader with a foot or so of 50# mono for a bite leader, I\'ll cast at any Cobia that ever swam and feel pretty confident as long as I have Rhett handling the boat. In deep water, light tackle isn\'t a good idea because you can’t apply enough pressure to lift a fish.\r\n\r\nWe catch more Cobia while bottom fishing for Grouper than any other time. Why? I make 10 or more moves most days. Sooner or later we are going to drop a baitfish in front of a Cobia and hook up. Move around enough and you should get lucky too. Cobia hang out on the same rocks that hold Grouper.\r\n\r\nOk, so you are too lazy to move around. Invite Cobia to come to you. Enough fresh chum will pull Cobia a long distance. Frozen ground chum works but fresh is best every time. If you are going to stay in one spot and chum, pick a good spot. Large breaks, channel edges, especially channel bends and intersections, artificial reefs and wrecks are all great spots to chum. How you are anchored in relation to the spot you are fishing is all important. I can’t stress this enough. Try to anchor so that your chum ! disperses over as much of the structure as possible. Your baits should be deployed so that any fish that follows the scent trail of your chum will see them. Chumming on the grass flats and around deeper bars works fine too.\r\n\r\nLast summer, I added a new fishing weapon to my arsenal, a Chum Churn. The Chum Churn is the best new piece of equipment I have added to my boat in years. On tough fishing days in mid-summer, sooner or later you are going to call in a Cobia. Most days it doesn’t take long. The sound made by the Chum Churn may be as attractive to Cobia as the scent and chopped bait trail it produces. I’ve seen Cobia, Spadefish and Mangrove Snapper come up long before they could have scented the chum.\r\n\r\nThink about this. If your bait is right on the bottom, it may be hard to see for a Cobia that may be swimming a few feet off the bottom.	I like to have one bait about 6 feet off the bottom and another right under the boat within 3 feet of the surface. Believe me, this shallow bait gets bit often and you better make sure that the drag isn’t locked. A baitfish suspended about 6’ under a float and about 30 feet behind the boat gets hits from fish attracted by the chum.\r\n\r\nI can’t help but mention fishing channel markers. Everybody fishes channel markers and they catch Cobia. Sometimes you need to stand in line or have a reservation to fish some of the gang markers. One Saturday last year I was chumming for Spanish mackerel and Cobia along the edge of the Crystal River Coal Canal. A steady procession of boats stopped to fish marker 28. As soon as one boat left, another tied up (illegal) or anchored near the marker. This went on the entire tide. If there isn’t a boat fishing a channel marker, I ride by close and look. If I see a Cobia, I usually catch it.\r\n\r\nWhich bait? Most of the time it doesn’t matter what live bait you use. Cobia will eat about anything from Glass minnows to Stingrays, crabs to Filefish and seagulls to turtles. Live Eels are hot bait but not always easy to obtain. For tournament fishing, I wouldn’t enter unless I had several Eels. Eels are a pain in the butt to handle because of the slime and a fresh out of the well Eel will twist up into a ball and around your line. In my opinion, a 10-12” live Squid is the best of all baits for almost any fish I fish for. I don’t think anything t! urns down a Squid.	Unfortunately, the only time I get to use a Squid Is when I catch one at night.\r\n\r\nFrom my point of view, a Cobia is the best fish we have around here. It is great to eat, much more fun to catch than Grouper and they average a heck of a lot bigger than most other fish. For many of my clients, the Cobia they catch will be the biggest fish they have ever caught.

I\'ve been trying for several years and only caught a few shorts.\" I hear that several times each summer and I don’t remember many folks going home without catching one. If folks want to target Cobia, we generally catch them. In fact, it is an unusual day in the summer when we don’t catch several with 50% or more being legal whether we are targeting them exclusively or not. This doesn’t mean that Cobia are accidental catches for Whopper Stopper, though.\n\nCobia are, by far, the easiest to catch of all large fish on this coast. For the life of me, I can’t see why more folks don’t catch Cobia almost every trip. Here are a few tips that should make you a better Cobia fisherman.\n\nLive bait works best but I often catch them on a Bonita fillet lying on the bottom while fishing for Tarpon and Sharks.\nWire leader is not necessary except when lots of Kingfish and big Spanish mackerel are around. Sharks are seldom enough trouble to make me use wire.\n\nWhere? Darn near anywhere from the rivers and flats to grass lines a hundred miles offshore. A large percentage of grass flats Cobia are accidentally hooked by Trout fishermen on bait or artificial lures. Notice that I said \"hooked\" instead of caught. 50% of folks who are fishing for Trout will loose every Cobia they hook because they are not prepared for a fish that can pull more than 5# of drag. I have seen more than one person grab the spool to stop the fish when line started screaming off the reel. Not a good technique when you are fishing with 8# test! I’d venture to say that 25% of the boats out Trout fishing on a given day don’t have a gaff aboard and if they do, they don’t have a clue how to use it!\n\nLots of decent sized Cobia are hooked on the flats but the larger ones are landed by guys who are prepared. For most shallow water Cobia, 8# mono is entirely adequate as long as you have a smooth drag, set right. With a 6’ long 20# shock leader with a foot or so of 50# mono for a bite leader, I\'ll cast at any Cobia that ever swam and feel pretty confident as long as I have Rhett handling the boat. In deep water, light tackle isn\'t a good idea because you can’t apply enough pressure to lift a fish.\n\nWe catch more Cobia while bottom fishing for Grouper than any other time. Why? I make 10 or more moves most days. Sooner or later we are going to drop a baitfish in front of a Cobia and hook up. Move around enough and you should get lucky too.

As soon as one boat left, another tied up (illegal) or anchored near the marker. This went on the entire tide. If there isn’t a boat fishing a channel marker, I ride by close and look. If I see a Cobia, I usually catch it.\r\n\r\nWhich bait? Most of the time it doesn’t matter what live bait you use. Cobia will eat about anything from Glass minnows to Stingrays, crabs to Filefish and seagulls to turtles. Live Eels are hot bait but not always easy to obtain. For tournament fishing, I wouldn’t enter unless I had several Eels. Eels are a pain in the butt to handle because of the slime and a fresh out of the well Eel will twist up into a ball and around your line. In my opinion, a 10-12” live Squid is the best of all baits for almost any fish I fish for. I don’t think anything t! urns down a Squid.	Unfortunately, the only time I get to use a Squid Is when I catch one at night.\r\n\r\nFrom my point of view, a Cobia is the best fish we have around here. It is great to eat, much more fun to catch than Grouper and they average a heck of a lot bigger than most other fish.

Darn near anywhere from the rivers and flats to grass lines a hundred miles offshore. A large percentage of grass flats Cobia are accidentally hooked by Trout fishermen on bait or artificial lures. Notice that I said \"hooked\" instead of caught. 50% of folks who are fishing for Trout will loose every Cobia they hook because they are not prepared for a fish that can pull more than 5# of drag. I have seen more than one person grab the spool to stop the fish when line started screaming off the reel. Not a good technique when you are fishing with 8# test! I’d venture to say that 25% of the boats out Trout fishing on a given day don’t have a gaff aboard and if they do, they don’t have a clue how to use it!\n\nLots of decent sized Cobia are hooked on the flats but the larger ones are landed by guys who are prepared. For most shallow water Cobia, 8# mono is entirely adequate as long as you have a smooth drag, set right. With a 6’ long 20# shock leader with a foot or so of 50# mono for a bite leader, I\'ll cast at any Cobia that ever swam and feel pretty confident as long as I have Rhett handling the boat. In deep water, light tackle isn\'t a good idea because you can’t apply enough pressure to lift a fish.\n\nWe catch more Cobia while bottom fishing for Grouper than any other time. Why? I make 10 or more moves most days. Sooner or later we are going to drop a baitfish in front of a Cobia and hook up. Move around enough and you should get lucky too. Cobia hang out on the same rocks that hold Grouper.\n\nOk, so you are too lazy to move around. Invite Cobia to come to you. Enough fresh chum will pull Cobia a long distance. Frozen ground chum works but fresh is best every time. If you are going to stay in one spot and chum, pick a good spot. Large breaks, channel edges, especially channel bends and intersections, artificial reefs and wrecks are all great spots to chum. How you are anchored in relation to the spot you are fishing is all important. I can’t stress this enough. Try to anchor so that your chum ! disperses over as much of the structure as possible. Your baits should be deployed so that any fish that follows the scent trail of your chum will see them. Chumming on the grass flats and around deeper bars works fine too.\n\nLast summer, I added a new fishing weapon to my arsenal, a Chum Churn. The Chum Churn is the best new piece of equipment I have added to my boat in years. On tough fishing days in mid-summer, sooner or later you are going to call in a Cobia. Most days it doesn’t take long. The sound made by the Chum Churn may be as attractive to Cobia as the scent and chopped bait trail it produces. I’ve seen Cobia, Spadefish and Mangrove Snapper come up long before they could have scented the chum.\n\nThink about this. If your bait is right on the bottom, it may be hard to see for a Cobia that may be swimming a few feet off the bottom.	I like to have one bait about 6 feet off the bottom and another right under the boat within 3 feet of the surface. Believe me, this shallow bait gets bit often and you better make sure that the drag isn’t locked. A baitfish suspended about 6’ under a float and about 30 feet behind the boat gets hits from fish attracted by the chum.\n\nI can’t help but mention fishing channel markers.

The problem is – a big, offshore thunderstorm has built between you and the dock. What do you do? The decisions you make at this point could literally save your life.\r\n<h3>Basic Facts</h3>\r\nLet’s look at some very basic knowledge regarding offshore fishing or boating – things that every boater should know.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The visible horizon distance on the water is about eighteen miles at sea level. For every foot you can get above the water, you extend the visible horizon distance. While you may not be able to see the shore or buildings on land from where you are, lookouts on a passing ship’s bridge will be able to see those landmarks. The higher you get, the more you can see.</li>\r\n	<li>The same line of sight rule applies for VHF radio waves. Short of an atmospheric anomaly called skipping, VHF radio waves are only as good as a straight line of sight. Skipping happens as radio waves bounce off the atmosphere and back to earth, some- times several times. Where the waves return to earth, a radio receiver can pick them up, and sometimes that is several hundred miles away. As with the visible horizon, the radio wave, straight-line distance can be increased by getting up off the water.</li>\r\n	<li>A boat antenna needs to be located at the highest point on the boat. That will extend the effective distance. Couple that with a shore antenna that is on a tower, and the radio horizon is extended a number of miles. • Even with a good antenna, the power driving the radio wave has to be sufficient to reach a distant antenna. Anyone going offshore without at least a twenty-five watt VHF is taking a big chance. Some boats head offshore with a five-watt hand held radio, and then wonder why they can’t raise anyone on a radio check. Some boats take a hand held twenty-five watt radio with a small antenna, thinking they are covered. While those radios are better than no radio, they are insufficient safety devices with which to head offshore beyond the visible horizon.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>The Troubling Situation</h3>\r\nHere we are, twenty miles offshore, and the offshore thunderstorm clouds are building. As you judge the wind and watch the clouds, you can see that the whole system is heading right at you. In the distance, lightning bolts are lighting up the interior of the thunderhead, and thunder rumbles lowly. One thousand one... one thousand two... one thousand three... You count the seconds between the lightning flash and the thunder rumble. Every five seconds of sound delay is roughly one mile in distance. And still you fish.\r\n\r\nWhat Happens in an Offshore Thunderstorm Thunderheads that build over land along the shore are miniature, self contained, low- pressure systems. As they move toward you the atmospheric pressure drops, and that drop in pressure does a couple of things.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>First, it causes the wind to pick up. As the pressure drops, wind begins to circulate around the system, heading down to the low pressure. In the northern hemisphere, that means a counterclockwise rotation, and the closer the storm gets, the higher the winds become.</li>\r\n	<li>Second, it causes the fish to really turn on. If the air pressure drops, the relative water pressure drops as well. Fish can sense the pressure drop with their lateral lines. Knowing that the seas will soon be churning and dirty, many species, particularly shallow water and bottom fish, will “feed up” before the storm.</li>\r\n	<li>It generally takes a combination of decisions surrounding the existing circumstances that lead to trouble. But fish going into a feeding frenzy, coupled with a decision to wait just “a little longer” are two that can really put a boat in jeopardy.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Five Basic Rules to Follow</h3>\r\nLet’s assume we make all the right decisions regarding the pending storm. What actions do we take? Here are some basic rules to live by if you fish offshore. They can give you peace of mind, but more importantly they can save your life.\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>Never head offshore without at least a twenty-five watt VHF radio wired to a good vertical antenna. As you leave the dock, call for a radio check. The Coast Guard is not the right group to call at this point. They monitor channel 16, the hailing channel, but they are far too busy to be checking everyone’s radio. Call the dock master at the marina, or one of the several emergency boat towing agencies. They will gladly respond to a request for a radio check.</li>\r\n	<li>Never leave the dock to head offshore without a full tank of fuel. You should have enough fuel to fish all day and return to the dock with no less than a half tank of gas remaining. That may sound high, but the reason will be clear as you read below.</li>\r\n	<li>For a fishing vessel, the deepest water you can safely and conceivably anchor in is about 150 feet. Even at that depth, you need a lot of anchor line. Plan to have an anchor line that is at least seven times the depth at which you may have to anchor – more is better. This depth to line length is called “rode,” and it is an important factor in keeping your boat anchored in a heavy sea. Given the amount of line required in a heavy sea, anchoring offshore in a storm should absolutely be your last choice.</li>\r\n	<li>Keep several sealed gallon jugs of fresh water safely stowed on board. The additional space and weight are negligible compared to the need for that water in a boat adrift at sea for several days. 5. The first four rules are not Coast Guard requirements; they are common sense. In addition to those first four, make sure your vessel meets all the Coast Guard safety requirements regarding PFD’s and signaling devices. You may need them.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h3>Your Choice of Action</h3>\r\nWith the rules in tow, we can now make intelligent choices regarding the storm now heading our way.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Make a call on the radio to verify what you see. Find out which way the storm is headed. Ask about the winds. Tune to the predesignated weather channel for your area. If you are beyond the line of sight distance, ask any boat you can hail to relay your request. Find out what the storm is doing. Sometimes they build over the coast and sit until they cool off the air around them. Sometimes they move offshore.</li>\r\n	<li>If the storm is heading offshore, our first choice is to run, not away from it, but perpen- dicular to it. Heading for the dock is not possible; that puts us right in the teeth of the storm. Head ninety degrees in either direction and run out of the storm’s path. You now see the reason to have sufficient fuel! If the storm is large, you may need to run ten miles or more. If you make this choice early, it will likely be the only choice you need to make.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Riding Out the Storm</h3>\r\nIn the event you can’t outrun the storm and get out of its path, it’s time to batten down, don life jackets, and prepare for a ride. Seas can increase with amazing speed, and the danger factor multiplies equally fast.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Keep the boat in gear and headed into the seas at an angle of five to ten degrees to the wind. Heading directly into big, steep waves will tend to bury the bow into the face of the next wave. A slight angle allows the boat to roll slightly, keeping the bow out of the water on the next wave. Too much angle will cause the boat to “breech” and possibly roll over.</li>\r\n	<li>Use only enough engine power to safely mount and ride over the oncoming waves. At this point the engine is the only tool that can help you accomplish boat positioning, and positioning is the only pertinent issue. Once again, your earlier fuel decisions play a major role.</li>\r\n	<li>Rain and water over the bow can fill a boat faster than most people envision. A good bilge pump is a necessity; make sure it works and that you use it as you ride out the storm. • Anchoring becomes a choice only when your engine power is either dead or insufficient to keep your boat positioned. Without power, the boat will turn sideways to the wind in a breech. The very next thing that will happen is an overturned vessel with people in the water.</li>\r\n	<li>Be prepared to get an anchor over quickly, but only as a last choice. The need for a long anchor line should be obvious. The anchor will, as it goes down, act as a drag and possibly pull the bow of the boat back into the wind. As it reaches bottom, feed out as much rode as possible and tie the line off on a bow cleat. Now, sit tight, keep the bilge pumps running and ride out the storm.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Plan Ahead to Avoid Disaster</h3>\r\nRiding out a storm in a small vessel is a harrowing experience. The amazing thing is that with few exceptions, there is no need to go through that experience. Proper planning and preparation will take care of the circumstances before they become an issue.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Check the weather reports. We call the forecasters “weather guessers” at times, but overall, they are pretty accurate, particularly regarding afternoon thunderstorms. Plan your trip’s conclusion to avoid the storms.</li>\r\n	<li>If storms build while you are offshore, make a decision early to either head in or run out of the storm’s way. Staying to catch that last fish will needlessly get you in big trouble. The fish will be there another day – make sure you are there with them!</li>\r\n	<li>Most of all, use common sense. That common sense tells us to be prepared even before we head out – and that means following the five rules we have already listed.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Bottom Line</h3>\r\nShould we fear the water? No – but we need to have a whole lot of respect for the power that a storm can generate on that water. And, we need to be prepared to address that power.','Dealing with Offshore Thunderstorms','','publish','open','open','','dealing-with-offshore-thunderstorms','','','2013-04-02 12:57:28','2013-04-02 16:57:28','',0,'http://www.coastalmariner.com/?p=197',60,'post','',0),(194,1,'2011-12-05 18:55:38','2011-12-05 18:55:38','<a href=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/cm_may2011.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/cm_may2011-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"Captain Key Roy\" title=\"Captain Key Roy\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-191\" /></a><strong><em>By Capt.

I\'ve been trying for several years and only caught a few shorts.\" </blockquote>\r\n\r\nI hear that several times each summer and I don’t remember many folks going home without catching one. If folks want to target Cobia, we generally catch them. In fact, it is an unusual day in the summer when we don’t catch several with 50% or more being legal whether we are targeting them exclusively or not. This doesn’t mean that Cobia are accidental catches for Whopper Stopper, though.\r\n\r\nCobia are, by far, the easiest to catch of all large fish on this coast. For the life of me, I can’t see why more folks don’t catch Cobia almost every trip. Here are a few tips that should make you a better Cobia fisherman.\r\n\r\nLive bait works best but I often catch them on a Bonita fillet lying on the bottom while fishing for Tarpon and sharks. Wire leader is not necessary except when lots of Kingfish and big Spanish mackerel are around. Sharks are seldom enough trouble to make me use wire.\r\n\r\nWhere? Darn near anywhere from the rivers and flats to grass lines a hundred miles offshore. A large percentage of grass flats Cobia are accidentally hooked by Trout fishermen on bait or artificial lures. Notice that I said \"hooked\" instead of caught. 50% of folks who are fishing for Trout will loose every Cobia they hook because they are not prepared for a fish that can pull more than 5# of drag. I have seen more than one person grab the spool to stop the fish when line started screaming off the reel. Not a good technique when you are fishing with 8# test! I’d venture to say that 25% of the boats out Trout fishing on a given day don’t have a gaff aboard and if they do, they don’t have a clue how to use it!\r\n\r\nLots of decent sized Cobia are hooked on the flats but the larger ones are landed by guys who are prepared. For most shallow water Cobia, 8# mono is entirely adequate as long as you have a smooth drag, set right. With a 6’ long 20# shock leader with a foot or so of 50# mono for a bite leader, I\'ll cast at any Cobia that ever swam and feel pretty confident as long as I have Rhett handling the boat. In deep water, light tackle isn\'t a good idea because you can’t apply enough pressure to lift a fish.\r\n\r\nWe catch more Cobia while bottom fishing for Grouper than any other time. Why? I make 10 or more moves most days. Sooner or later we are going to drop a baitfish in front of a Cobia and hook up. Move around enough and you should get lucky too. Cobia hang out on the same rocks that hold Grouper.\r\n\r\nOk, so you are too lazy to move around. Invite Cobia to come to you. Enough fresh chum will pull Cobia a long distance. Frozen ground chum works but fresh is best every time. If you are going to stay in one spot and chum, pick a good spot. Large breaks, channel edges, especially channel bends and intersections, artificial reefs and wrecks are all great spots to chum. How you are anchored in relation to the spot you are fishing is all important. I can’t stress this enough. Try to anchor so that your chum ! disperses over as much of the structure as possible. Your baits should be deployed so that any fish that follows the scent trail of your chum will see them. Chumming on the grass flats and around deeper bars works fine too.\r\n\r\nLast summer, I added a new fishing weapon to my arsenal, a Chum Churn. The Chum Churn is the best new piece of equipment I have added to my boat in years. On tough fishing days in mid-summer, sooner or later you are going to call in a Cobia. Most days it doesn’t take long. The sound made by the Chum Churn may be as attractive to Cobia as the scent and chopped bait trail it produces. I’ve seen Cobia, Spadefish and Mangrove Snapper come up long before they could have scented the chum.\r\n\r\nThink about this. If your bait is right on the bottom, it may be hard to see for a Cobia that may be swimming a few feet off the bottom.	I like to have one bait about 6 feet off the bottom and another right under the boat within 3 feet of the surface. Believe me, this shallow bait gets bit often and you better make sure that the drag isn’t locked. A baitfish suspended about 6’ under a float and about 30 feet behind the boat gets hits from fish attracted by the chum.\r\n\r\nI can’t help but mention fishing channel markers. Everybody fishes channel markers and they catch Cobia. Sometimes you need to stand in line or have a reservation to fish some of the gang markers. One Saturday last year I was chumming for Spanish mackerel and Cobia along the edge of the Crystal River Coal Canal. A steady procession of boats stopped to fish marker 28. As soon as one boat left, another tied up (illegal) or anchored near the marker. This went on the entire tide. If there isn’t a boat fishing a channel marker, I ride by close and look. If I see a Cobia, I usually catch it.\r\n\r\nWhich bait? Most of the time it doesn’t matter what live bait you use. Cobia will eat about anything from Glass minnows to Stingrays, crabs to Filefish and seagulls to turtles. Live Eels are hot bait but not always easy to obtain. For tournament fishing, I wouldn’t enter unless I had several Eels. Eels are a pain in the butt to handle because of the slime and a fresh out of the well Eel will twist up into a ball and around your line. In my opinion, a 10-12” live Squid is the best of all baits for almost any fish I fish for. I don’t think anything t! urns down a Squid.	Unfortunately, the only time I get to use a Squid Is when I catch one at night.\r\n\r\nFrom my point of view, a Cobia is the best fish we have around here. It is great to eat, much more fun to catch than Grouper and they average a heck of a lot bigger than most other fish. For many of my clients, the Cobia they catch will be the biggest fish they have ever caught. Try to explain why you have to release the biggest fish they have ever caught when they catch a 32 incher.\r\n\r\nDescription: long, slim fish with broad depressed head; lower jaw projects past upper jaw; dark lateral stripe extends through eye to tail; first dorsal fin comprised of 7 to 9 free spines; when young, has conspicuous alternating black and white horizontal stripes.
