FLOATING MAT

South Florida is a haven for the health-conscious and actively inclined. There isn’t really any activity that you can’t do with the exception of snow skiing, but we have water skiing, so who needs it? All the availability of activities can make one a little jaded. So, spice up your routine and try a new challenge, yoga on a stand up paddleboard. This sport will reinvigorate you to become an even better yogi then you thought – all while enjoying the natural glory of floating on water. This new sport is not just for the lucky few in tropical places but the S.U.P. yoga community is much larger than you would expect and makes it easier for you to find a convenient place to try it, especially South Florida.

Since the platform of the stand-up paddleboard is…

ANDREW "RED" HARRIS FOUNDATION

Andrew “Red” Harris Foundation is working on improving our marine environment along with keeping Andrew Harris’ legacy alive.  Andrew, like most Floridians, had pure love for our local south Florida waters, whether it is leisurely snorkeling and observing the natural wildlife or hunting for fish and lobsters, fishing out in the ocean or the Intercostal Waterways. Heartbreakingly, on June 8, 2014, Andrew life was taken abruptly after being struck by a boat while snorkeling in the Jupiter Inlet. Andrew’s family and friends have joined together to build this Foundation to represent all what Andrew lived for. His athletics, his love for the ocean, and you can do anything attitude. 

The first foundations fundraising event will be a golf tournament at Tequesta…

BEAT THE HEAT

Fishing Report 8.1.14

It is looking like a pretty nice weekend ahead. Possibly a few scattered thunderstorms to deal with and hopefully just enough south/southeast breeze to help get some fish fired up!

OFFSHORE- Dolphin fishing should improve by this weekend if the weather forecast stays true, usual light west winds have most of the dolphin beyond way offshore; so a little southeast wind should help get some dolphin pushed back in a little closer.
Kingfish have started to show back up with the building moon. The usual August kingfish school is starting to stack up off of Jupiter, along the 120’ ledge.  In Miami-Dade reefs, the Kingfish bite is on fire.
Wahoo action was scattered this week, but a few were brought in. Expect the wahoo to improve as the…
