Izaak Walton, famous for his “Compleat Angler,” published in 1653, was an enthusiastic advocate of fishing as a thera-peutic endeavor and approach to life as a whole.

“Oh the brave Fisher’s life, It is the best of any, ‘Tis full of pleasure, void of strife, And ‘tis belov’d of many: Other joys Are but toys; Only this Lawful is, For our skill Breeds no ill, But content and pleasure.”

There are some who might balk at that overly pleasant outlook, because fishing tends to bring more disappointment than reward.

But disappointment also offers many valuable life les-sons, and our features on the Cocoa Beach Optimist Club’s Great Optimist Fishout show that sometimes the biggest catch is the one that got away.

Along with profiles of local fisherman Jamie Glasner and sea life artist Don Ray, we cover Black Dog Bait & Tackle, a fishing emporium located in

Melbourne Beach that is as dedicated to the dyed-in-the-wool fisherman as it is support-ive of neophytes.

“The best advice I would give a beginning fisherman is to just get out there and give it a go,” Black Dog owner Holly Tanis says. “Watch the people who are catching fish. Listen to what they have to say. Take that advice and use what works for you. There is no right way to fish… It’s whatever works for you.”

“Patience is the num-ber-one virtue that you must understand in fishing. Fish-ing can be very humbling. Figuring out this sport takes time and patience, and even when you think you know it all you will still have days when nothing works in your favor.”

“That’s why fishing is so special, and those are the days that make you even bet-ter.”–The Editor

Living so connected to the water as we do here, fishing is an activity kids love to engage in, and fishing with one’s family can offer priceless expe-riences that last a lifetime. The Cocoa Beach Optimist Club helps foster those experiences through events like The Great Optimist Fishout.

On Saturday, April 25, 2015, hundreds of kids and their families will come out to the Port to drop a line in the water and hope for the best. There will be $600 of prize money awarded in four age categories – 5-7, 8-10, 11-13, and 14-16 – which will be given to the catcher of the top-three biggest fish by weight in each age group. One lucky kid and his family could win the great $10,000 catch, a specially tagged fish insured by the Cocoa Beach Optimist Club (CBOC).

Presenting sponsor Southeastern Honda of Palm Bay and dozens of other local businesses have partnered together to make sure there is enough bait for everyone, so no need to bring a bucket of shrimp. Families bring chairs or blan-kets to sit on, sunscreen, fishing poles, and some tackle. It might also be a good idea to bring some snacks and something to drink, but each registered kid will get a free lunch provided by

Sonny’s BBQ in Cocoa Beach. Lunch is also available for purchase throughout the day, as well as sno cones and additional drinks.

Optimist International’s mission is to pro-vide hope and positive vision to bring out the best in kids. Fishing is a great way to teach kids how to be patient, persevere, and wait for the reward by putting in the time. The CBOC and the Fishout sponsors have made it as easy as possible for kids to go fishing by providing free bait, lunches, and some tackle to every kid that enters the contest. A limited number of chil-dren who register early online have the oppor-tunity to receive a free fishing pole, thanks to fundraising by the CBOC and Fish Florida, a non-profit that helps both adults and children learn about fishing and Florida’s environment.

On the day of the Fishout, registration starts promptly at 8 a.m. Contestants who have been coming for years know to get there early so you can get checked in, find a place to set up, and start fishing right at 9 a.m. Registration is open until 11 a.m. though, so if it takes a while to get the kids in the car‚ don’t worry. When you arrive, you’ll be directed by a friendly volunteer to get in line based on your last name to receive an ID that will be used to register each fish your child catches. You could be given a ticket for a free fishing pole if you’ve registered early enough to qualify on www.optimistfishout.com, and while some kids will use their new pole at the event, most come prepared with their own tackle and extra hooks and weights. They’re the ones who know that every minute with your hook in the water counts. Keep in mind, each contestant may use only one pole during the event.

Through the Terminal entrance families are directed out to the dock area. There is plenty of space to spread out and find a great spot, but only fish caught in the designated area will

Since 1983, The Great Optimist Fishout has given the Space Coast kids and their parents or guardians an opportunity to spend a day fishing together at Port Canaveral.

As the owner of Fin & Fly Char-ters, Jamie provides his custom-ers with an innate understanding of our unique lagoon environ-ment. He also understands the habits of the fish who frequent these inshore and nearshore waters, something that has given him unprecedented success and respect as a fishing guide.

The 28-year-old Cocoa Beach native has been fishing for as long as he can remember, thanks to being raised on the canals of Cocoa Isles. “I had the flats down my canal literally in my back yard. I was probably 5 when I picked up my first fishing pole – a Batman pole,” he laughs.

Still, much of his time was spent skateboarding rather than angling.

“I was a huge skateboarder punk in my younger teens,” he says, “hanging out at the skate-park and chilling with Scooter Newell and Jesse Cattelier. Fishing was still my thing on the side, but I didn’t realize its potential until myself and Adam Taylor started fishing together.”

Jamie didn’t have access to a boat back then, so he and Tay-lor found themselves either wading or borrowing neighbor Don Stewart’s ganoe to search the flats for their catch.

Jamie began fish-ing regularly after buying his first jon boat with his father’s help at the age of 17. “I’d have family friends ask me to take them fishing and they would pay me,” he recalls. “I thought it was great getting $100-$200 to go fishing. That’s what gave me the insight into becoming a guide.”

A year later, Jamie purchased a Ranger Flats Boat, got his captain’s license, and continued fishing each day before school – all while working at the Cocoa Beach Publix.

“I was running charters, but I didn’t have a name for my business. Then I ran into my buddy, Pat Wells, who used to run Fin & Fly Charters but then retired from it. I asked him if he minded if I took over, and he said, ‘Go for it.’”

After a few years of guiding full time, Jamie was approached by Blair Wiggins, the host of Addictive Fishing Television to do a show.

“Of course I said yes! We filmed our first show together on redfish and trout on top-water lures, which was a lot of fun. A year later we did another

show on tripletail fishing off Port Canaveral. I’ve also done two shows with Owner hooks that aired in Japan. It was kind of funny hearing the voiceover for me in Japanese,” he smiles. He has also recorded promotional shows for Skeeter boats and Shimano fishing reels.

But what Jamie offers his daily clients is “a good time on the water with many laughs.”

“I can’t guarantee fish – it is fishing, after all – but I am out there every day, so it’s very rare that we get skunked.”

“But it does happen,” he says, “that’s why they call it fishing.”

Jamie currently owns two boats – a flats boat and bay boat – and counts himself for-tunate to have a sponsor that gives him a brand new vessel outfitted with a Yamaha motor every year. “My bay boat is made by Skeeter boats, which is also owned by Yamaha, and if you’re ever interested in getting a boat, give me a call and I’ll take you

Few locals know these waters as well as Jamie Glasner, whose relative youth belies his skills as one the most accomplished fishing char-ter captains on the Space Coast.

Resident ofthe Month

That’s part of the mission of the Cocoa Beach Optimist Club, an organization that helps instill pos-itivity in youth from an early age.

This April 25, the Club is hold-ing its Great Optimist Fishout, which gives kids a chance to exercise fresh outlooks through fishing, one of the most uncer-tain pursuits out there. The event not only offers a chance for personal growth, but helps solid-ify bonds between kids and their families and guardians.

Longtime resident Bob Bevis has been a member of the Cocoa Beach Optimist Club since it was chartered in 1973, and has dedicated much of his life to helping the organization grow well beyond its original scope.

Born in Tallahassee, Bob attended the University of Flor-ida and came to Brevard in 1957 to work for RCA on the missile range on Eleuthera, Bahamas, for two years before returning to the Cape. There he worked for Rock-well and Technicolor Corp as well as RCA. “I got caught in one of the layoffs in 1969 and was unable to find another suitable aerospace job,” he remembers, “but I joined Communicable, Inc., the local cable TV company as Chief Engineer in 1970 and became Manager in 1974.”

Eleven years later, the com-pany was up for sale, so he accepted a managerial position with Cablevision Industries in Volusia, which was then sold to Time Warner in 1995 before becoming BrightHouse in 2002. Since retiring from BrightHouse in 2006 as Senior Director of Operations over a five-county area of central Florida, he and his wife, Jackie, have devoted their time to Optimist Club activities and cruising through-out Europe, North America, and the Caribbean.

Bob is also a Rotarian, a lifelong member of the Cocoa Beach Elks Club, and has been honored twice as a Paul Harris fellow. He’s also Past President of the Florida Cable TV Association and the Southern Cable TV Association, and has been recognized as a Cable Television Pioneer.

But it’s through his involve-ment in the Club and the Fishout that Bob has reaped the most rewards – and spread them a thousandfold.

“The Fishout Project was the brainchild of Frank Dreyer Sr., owner of Dreyer Advertising and then-current President of the club,” Bob told us. “He came up with selling advertising in the booklet as a way to finance the project and get the community involved. Otto Watson was the first Chairman of the Fishout and got it off to a great start.”

The first Fishout, which took place in 1983, has always been held at Port Canaveral at facilities provided by the Canaveral Port Author-ity. “The Port has always been very supportive of the Fishout and makes every effort to accommodate our needs,” Bob said. “In 2012, a last minute reschedule of a cruise ship required moving the Fishout with one-day notice. The Port Author-ity movedmountains to prevent c a n c e l -

lation of our Fishout, and they provided a different location, cleaned it and the docks, and provided signage and person-nel to redirect the young anglers to the new location. I just can’t say enough good about the Port Authority.”

The Fishout isn’t the only opportunity for the Club to shine, because they’re busy year round searching for ways to help kids. In addition to holding essay and oratorical contests for scholarships, the Club supports other charities like Crosswinds, serves Thanksgiving and Christ-mas dinners to needy children and families, donates school supplies and clothing to local students, and has sponsored pro-grams like Odyssey of the Mind for Roosevelt Elementary. They also bring out the best in kids by sponsoring Cocoa Beach Skate Park contests like “Shred President’s Day” and creating

Is the glass half empty or half full? We all like to look at our problems in a positive light, but it doesn’t always come naturally. More often than not, it has to be learned.

So what is a Budget Babysitter? Budget Babysitters carefully watch and guide budgets before they go overboard, fall off the good judgment jungle gym and skin their knees. You are that heroic babysitter protecting your baby budget from himself and everything the world can dish out. The honor and glory of such a task will be rewarded and recorded with the addition of extra credits in your bank account. But are you worthy of such a monumental task? Like many epic journeys, the road has chosen you. The only question is, will you except the challenge?

Money MondaysAn earlier article suggested tracking every purchase for a week or a month to get an accu-rate portrait of your spending patterns. Money Mondays takes that idea one step further. Once a week sit down and review all your weekly spending by yourself or with your honey or family. Prepare to be amazed.

Money wicks away in tiny drops that add up to pools of cash flowing right out of your wallet.

Daily Dollar Budget

Figure out how much money you have left over after bills. Let’s say you have $500 leftover for two weeks or fourteen days. That means you have $35.71 dollars a day for food, gas and anything else you need to pur-chase. You might get lucky and have a few zero dollar days. Zero dollar days are days that you spend nothing. Add a lit-tle cushion to your savings on these glorious days. Your num-bers might change weekly or month to month depending on bills and expenses. Consider your Daily Dollar budget before making any purchases.

Postpone purchases but never say no

No one likes to hear no. It’s depressing. But planning and budgeting for an item can be exciting. Its like a present you give yourself, but only if you’re very good. Put a reminder online or on your phone and pick the date you can purchase your own dinglehopper or snarfblat.

The role and path of Budget Babysitter is perilous and gru-eling at times. It might annoy your family but can set solid foundations regardless of your income. Be brave. Be a Budget Babysitter and be the hero of your own fairy tale.

by Nataleigh Palmer

Be Your Own Budget Babysitter

Have you ever checked your bank account and were shocked by a low bal-ance? No? Really? Me neither. Have you ever heard about a far away land inhab-ited by a wicked dragon who cursed everyone with low bank balances? You never heard that fairy tale either? No? Moving on..


Horoscopes

AriesEver wonder why bad things happen to good people? Well keep wondering, mister. It just goes to show you not to trust anyone you met through Hard-coreShoeFetishists.com.

TaurusYou have a magical way of bring-ing people together. You haven’t seen your mother’s side of the family in ages, yet here they’ll be later this month attending your sentencing for trying to run Granpa over because of the grief he gave you for refusing to attend last year’s gathering.

GeminiA financial bonus comes just in time to brighten spring. Disap-pointingly, you blow it all on a new integrated dieting system which involves ingesting lique-fied beans and root vegetables. Not only are you in terrible debt, you’ve also got one hel-luva bellyache.

CancerA close friendship develops soon. If you play your cards right, it could turn out to be much more than just a casual, drunken fling. Sadly, “playing your cards right” involves lend-ing all your credit cards to the wrong sibling.

LeoYou’ve been suspecting it for years, but the truth finally comes out later this month. Yes, sorry to say, you are in fact obese. The sheet you have wrapped around your waist in lieu of pants should be the first indicator of this protracted devolution.

VirgoHow do your closest friends describe you? Trust me, you don’t want to know. But I’ll give you a hint in the form of a spoonerism: “stack babbing.” That’ll teach you to go around describing all of your closest friends as “borthless wastards.”

LibraInstead of waiting for the muses to speak to you, summon them with your curiosity. Now if only you’d been more curious before, you’d be able to under-stand what Terpsichore, the ancient Greek muse of dance, was telling you. Throw caution to the wind and just do “The Funky Chicken” -- that’s prob-ably what she meant.

ScorpioThere will be two paths to take this month: one is long and fraught with danger; the other is short and leads straight to catastrophe. If I were you, I’d just leap straight into a pile of TNT with a lit cigar.

SagittariusThe process of personal evolu-tion isn’t as straightforward as Freud would have you believe. Getting older isn’t necessarily for the best. This month I rec-ommend staying Jung.

CapricornOf all the signs in the Zodiac, yours is the most discerning. Which comes in handy when try-ing to choose between Roquefort and Rockford cheese.

AquariusYour true nature will be revealed later this month when you fool-ishly reveal your true nature to a giggling gaggle of spring-breaking coeds after three too many boiler-makers. Next time stick with your usual bran muffin and glass of grapefruit juice for breakfast.

PiscesEach time you look in the mir-ror all you can see is a person looking back at you in the mir-ror. There has to be more per-sonal insight into self-reflection beyond noticing the poor state of your complexion.

by Lance Stardancer


They’ve been grown success-fully one block off the beach from seed. Cosmos prefer loamy soil. Loamy soil is a mix of sand, silt, and clay. They live happily in a pot but can be planted in the ground if mixed with 50% sand and roughly 50% garden soil. Make sure you stir up the mix so it doesn’t have layers.

Cosmos are easy to care for as they don’t require a lot of main-tenance, but they may need to be staked if they get too large. Cosmos are annuals that bloom spring, summer, and fall. They’re fairly hardy and are easy to grow by seed. Simply broadcast seeds into a bed or pot. Broad-cast means to throw the seeds and cover with a sprinkle of

dirt. Then water them in gen-tly. It takes about two months for them to bloom from seed to flower. The yellow cosmos are considered invasive but the mul-ticolored ones in stores are not.

During the summer they pre-fer afternoon shade, so don’t plant them on the west side of your house unless you have some shade. A member of the Aster family, they can sprout from one to five foot tall depending on growing conditions.

Gardening Tips

Cosmos are beautiful wildflowers that hummingbirds and butterflies adore. They thrive in full sun are drought and moderately salt tollerant.

Don’t Panic – Dinner’s in the Freezer Great-Tasting Meals You can Make AheadBy Susie Martinez, Vanda Howell and Bonnie Garcia, Fleming H. Revell, 2005

If you’ve never tried batch cook-ing before, then this is the book for you. Batch cooking is the term for doing all your cook-ing for the week or month in one weekend. Why would you want to do that? It saves you time, energy and helps you take advantage of sales. The first few pages of “Don’t Panic – Din-ner’s in the Freezer,” provides the method for organizing meals ahead of time to maxi-mize the benefits

The book helps you plan

strategies for shopping and gives you suggestions on how to keep your cooking day organized. A key factor is food storage. The second section delineates what items require freezer bags or custom packaging to retain freshness. It also provides a handy guide to help you know how long they will keep.

The cookbook is divided into sections such as Appetizers, Breads, Soup, Main course, and Dessert courses. Each recipe lists an original recipe for the typical

4-6 servings. It also includes col-umns if you want to increase the recipe by three, four, or six times, essentially making that number of extra meals for your family. If you think about it, it isn’t any more work to make additional portions of the same recipe. You still have to wash the same bowls and utensils. If you have enough room in your soup pot, oven or grill, then why not?

The appetizer section is my favorite. How many times have you had someone pop by for

Decorating eggs is so much fun, but I’m just as big a fan of the chocolate ones. When I was a little girl, my grandma, who was Irish, used to make me this breakfast dish she called “egg soup.” I still love making it, and think of her each time I do.

Leek soufflé is another great recipe for the spring season.

Happy Spring to all!

Grandma Cantwell’s Egg Soup

In a soup bowl, tear small pieces of soft, fresh bread and place in bottom of bowl. Place small dots of butter around the bread. Cook a three-minute egg and break open onto the bread and butter, then add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

To make a perfect three-min-ute egg, bring water to boil in a pot. Place egg in boiling water with a slotted spoon, boiling for exactly three minutes and

removing gently with a slotted spoon. Use care when cracking open the egg; it will be hot and the yolk runny.

The hot egg will melt the butter and when you mix it together so you get “Egg Soup.”

Leek Soufflé12 oz. baby leeks, or the soft inside layers of large onesOlive oil1/2 cup vegetable stock1/2 cup walnuts2 eggs, separated2 tbsp. Herbs de Provence2 tbsp. plain yogurtSalt and pepper

Finely chop the leeks and sauté in a large spoonful of olive oil for about three minutes, add-ing the vegetable stock, and simmering for five minutes. Finely chop the walnuts in a food processor or blender, add the leek mixture and blend to form a puree. Separate the eggs, put the egg whites in a separate bowl and continue with the egg yolks. Mix the egg yolks, herbs de Provence, and yogurt until well combined and then add the puree and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the egg whites until they form peaks. Fold the egg whites into the puree mix-ture, then spoon into a 1-quart soufflé dish. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes when it has risen and is golden brown.


Recipe ofthe Month

Eggs are a big focus this month for those of you celebrating Easter.

a visit and realized you don’t have anything to offer them? When some-one gives you the heads up that they’re on their way, you can warm up or thaw something you already have put together. Pop some Elegant Mushroom Cups in the oven and thaw some Caribbean Cooler. Knowing that you have some food on hand reduces stress and gives you time to catch up with your friends or relatives.

This is a great cookbook for people who have kids in college. Pack some of these dinners in a

cooler for them or share them with a friend who has sick or elderly parents. Anyone with a busy schedule would appre-ciate some frozen meals to eat.

This is also a great idea for people who work long

shifts and have just enough energy to

pop a frozen meal in the oven.

The one drawback to this cookbook

is lack of vegetarian options. Most of the

main courses are meat based, but the appetiz-

ers, brunch and soup options do include some

vegetarian recipes.Life is too short and

the days too long to spon-taneously come up with

dinner ideas. Consider using these kitchen- tested,

freezer- friendly meals and save yourself some time and money.. –Nataliegh Palmer

The Art Side

From the offshore marlin and the ghostly bonefish to the great white heron and the roseate spoonbill, he strives to capture both the essence and form of these inhabitants of the ocean and nature’s masterpieces.

A love of nature has been a part of Don’s artistic vision since he was a boy growing up in Springfield, Ohio, but it was a series of “positive accidents” that eventually led him to the Space Coast.

“I always felt I was an artist,” Don says. “And I was always fishing for small-mouth bass as a kid.”

“I painted a lot back then and was inspired by all the things I witnessed around me, but sev-eral small positive accidents converged to have me meet an

admirer of my work in Miami.”Other connections made

t h r o u g h o u t the ‘80s saw Don travel-ing more and more to Flor-ida and get-ting involved in offshore fishing and organizations like the IGFA and the CCA.

“I was mak-ing a lot of trips back and forth and e v e n t u a l l y moved my family here in 1992,” Don remembers. “We just fell in love with this place and built a life and home here.”

“Here” is a 5-acre plot of land near Sebastian Inlet, a place he and his wife refer to as their “sanctuary.” It’s also the site of the crowded studio where Don spends long hours produc-ing his popular paintings and prints of ocean life.

He guesses he’s produced well over 2,000 works since relocat-ing here, and prefers to paint in oil on linen rather than canvas

because of linen’s abil-ity to accept

the subtler textures that are a hallmark of his work.

But it’s not just the ocean that inspires Don; both fresh and salt water offer challenges to capture the complexities of light that draws him in.

“Water is denser than air and does some amazing things to what you see down there,” he explains. “The way it refracts light and the way waves cre-ate these wonderful shapes on the backs of fish – that’s what’s inspiring to me.”

People love his art for their realism, but Don reveals that he paints with a naturalist’s vision and an artist’s eye.

“I’m not striving for photore-alism; let the camera do that,” he says. “Rather, I’m looking for the human interpretation – my interpretation – of what I see in nature.”

“We don’t see what the cam-era sees – a split-second freeze frame. We combine groups

of ever-flowing images that we follow through emotions that have been memories of our experiences. That’s what

I would like to get closer to in my work. To me, an artist’s expression is human experience transposed into a medium of communication to be shared with others.”

As for his favorite paintings, Don is quick to dispel the com-

mon artistic notion that they’re like his children.

“I have chil-dren and I

have my art. I know the differ-ence,” he laughs.

“Artists also like to say that their favorite piece is the one

they haven’t created yet. The paintings I’m most proud of aren’t the paintings themselves, but the experiences I had mak-ing them.”

“Again, I approach each one by following those positive accidents. I like the result of

how it felt rather than the result itself.”

“I believe art should be a verb, not a noun.”

UFOs AboveRecently, several eyewit-nesses in three Florida locations reported seeing unusual groups of lights in the sky, sometimes forming a gliding triangle pattern.

West Palm Beach native Jennifer Schee saw “saw one first, then it disappeared over the ocean,” Schee wrote. “Then I saw the three... Then there were two that came... Then another. Then another. They all followed the same path and they all disap-peared over the ocean up in the sky, not down over the horizon.”

Schee wasn’t alone during her sighting, and another eyewit-ness, Katelyn, commented on her similar observations about 13 miles north of West Palm Beach.

“I saw three, but one at a time in my neighborhood going towards the east coast, each one bright and when their light disappeared, I kept tracking it with my eye and could see a sil-ver dot still gliding through the air in Palm Beach Gardens. It was going west to east all three of them,” Katelyn commented on ufocaptor.com

Members OnlyIt was meant to be a light-hearted joke, but when FL res-ident Christopher Taft’s sister Holly Hill baked him a penis-shaped birthday cake for his 21st birthday, things got ugly when Taft shot her in the rear end with a BB gun.

Taft never aimed – as it were – to hurt her, but the BBs got

embed-ded in his sister’s buttocks, forcing her to go to a local emergency room. Taft’s sister then phoned the police, and the overly sensitive Taft was arrested for aggravated bat-tery, but she declined to press charges, and Taft was released shortly thereafter.

Texter Survives Run-In with TrainPolice say a 27-year-old woman who was texting walked into the

path of a freight train, was clipped

and thrown into the air, but

survived.Sheena Keynna

appeared to be tex-ting Monday after-

noon as she walked around the crossing

gates and into the path of the passing

freight train in Lake-land in central Florida.

Police Sgt. Gary Gross told the Led-

ger of Lakeland the woman “wasn’t paying

attention.” She suffered a compound fracture to

her right arm, and her right leg was injured.

She was taken to a hospital, but no additional information was available.

CSX spokeswoman Kristin Seay says the train had two locomotives and was carrying consumer goods from Winter Haven to Jacksonville.

Two Amtrak trains were delayed during the investigation.

Strange Florida

The Cocoa Beach-based col-lective started out back in 2010 as a broader outlet for singer/songwriter Dave Miller, who sought to augment his solo sound with a rotating cast of like-minded musicians. The

band has since gone through a number of roster changes – either by accident or intent – but the results have always been original island-style music that both calms and energizes every-one who hears them.

Honey Miller prides them-selves on refusing to be pigeon-holed, and any given set will yield songs influenced by reg-gae, ska, blues, jazz, rock, and several other surprising genres. And that’s the key to their music: prepare to be both sur-prised by the new and com-forted by the old.

The beachside lifestyle plays

a large role in their sound, but it’s informed more by the all the variegated joys of life, regardless of the backdrop. It’s a sound Miller has referred to as “sideways surf ” and “the city and the country meeting

the beach.” As vague as that description sounds, it’s an apt definition of original material based on waterbound imag-ery and played with a level of sophistication heard rarely in the local music scene.

Truly jobbing musicians, what drives the loose collective is a dedication to their craft. But the bottom line isn’t money or even fame – it all comes down to spreading truth and beauty.

That they gig tirelessly is no secret; that they find the time to practice, record, and con-tribute soundtracks to several locally-produced films and

documentaries still manages to astound. Surely some higher spirit must be guiding them.

Honey Miller band has also forged solid relationships with the Space Coast Office of Tour-ism, festival organizers, and clubs all over Brevard County, proving that there are listeners who want to be challenged with something different. Their level of professionalism is also note-worthy; it’s that steadfast ethos that has made them one of the most sought-after bands in the area. Paradoxically enough, they’re also solid enough to adapt to all the changes life throws at them.

Taking this organic approach to music to another level now, several upcoming shows feature supporting musicians in vari-ous roles. Scheduled April gigs might see appearances by col-laborators Aren Winebrenner, Seth Chipman, Tom VanDyke, David Bitner, Brad Martin, and other guests, but Miller, Mar-vin Parish, and singer/song-writer Anna Lusk currently form the band’s core. Anna herself completed a successful Kickstarter campaign and is currently wrapping up work on a new children’s album.

After a few months’ hiatus, Honey Miller will start the month off with a series of per-formances throughout Central Florida they call “Introspection Sessions,” during which they’ll be performing their new, unre-leased single, “One Face, One Human Race,” as well as other fresh, unheard material. The first of these Sessions takes place at Cocoa Beach’s Casa-blanca at 8.30 p.m. on March 3. They’ll also be performing locally at Hogan’s Irish Bar on 4/11; as an Anna & Dave duo at Barcelona Tapas on 4/16; Juice N’ Java on 4/17, and as part of WFIT’s 40th Anniver-sary on 4/18 at 1 p.m.

Check their Facebook and Reverbnation sites and this issue for updates. Honey Miller’s Music is available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify. Free song download available at www.honeymiller.com

Waves lapping the shore, the whisper of gulls wheel-ing overhead, the distant strum of a guitar… This is the sound of the beachside lifestyle. It’s the sound of Honey Miller.

To celebrate the landmark, WFIT 89.5 FM, Public Radio for the Space Coast, is host-ing a 40th Anniversary Cele-bration on Saturday, April 18. The free event takes place on the Florida Tech campus from noon until 6 p.m.

“I think the most exciting thing about it is that after 40 years, it’s an o p p o r t u n i t y for the station to thank the c o m m u n i t y for the support during all these decades,” said Rose Mantle, WFIT’s public service announcement direc-tor and the leader of commu-nity outreach for the station.

In April 1975, WFIT first began broadcasting as a stu-dent-run station in the base-ment of Roberts Hall on campus. Now, the station operates out of a new facility located on University Blvd.

“The whole idea is we’re

t u r n i n g 40 and that’s a big m o m e n t in our his-tory from our hum-ble begin-ning in the

basement of Roberts Hall to where we are now,” said Todd Kennedy, WFIT’s program director and the host of the show Sound Waves.

“It’s an amazing adventure and we just wanted to have a big party and thank the com-munity for 40 years of sup-

port because we couldn’t be here without listener support and the c o m m u n i t y embracing us.”

This free event will fea-ture live music at the Panthe-reum and at

the WFIT Broadcast Center, tours of the station, and non-profit and retail vendors.

Kennedy is excited to see all the members and the lis-teners come out to the event. And he’s most excited for the music. “They are all local bands that have supported WFIT in one way or another

throughout the years and we just wanted to showcase that great talent that we have on the Space Coast.”

Performing bands include, Honey Miller, The Bees, JC and the Knick Knacks, and Lights Out Project playing at the Panthereum Stage. The bands performing outside the WFIT Broadcast Cen-ter are Simone and Super-cats, Robin and Eddie, Ras Michael, and Orangatanga.

During the celebration, food will be served from Hazel’s Caribbean Restau-rant, Slow & Low BBQ, and Steamed Corn.

Along with other ven-dors, participating sponsors include Florida Wildlife Hospital, Space Coast Pro-gressive Alliance, Space Coast Pride, Brevard Cul-tural Alliance, Marine Resources Council, Evans Library University Archives, Florida (Cocoa Beach) Surf Museum, Surfrider Foun-dation, Humane Society, Brevard Lure Course, Brevard Recycles, Eau Gal-lie Arts District, and Main-Street Pub.

WFIT is kicking off year 40 with a bang, and they show no signs of slowing down.

Bob DylanShadows in the Night

Columbia Records, 2015When the name Bob Dylan

appears alongside the phrase “cover version,” it almost always implies someone else paying tribute to the venerated song-writer. But here, Bob Dylan, The Bob Dylan, takes the time to pay respects to a hero, albeit an unexpected one: The chair-man of the board, the king of cool, Frank Sinatra.

The first thing Dylan does is noticeably tuck away his famous squeaky hinge croak of a vocal delivery, and uses a voice closer to the one he used on “Nashville Skyline.” The music itself is dominated by the strong presence of a pedal steel guitar which poignantly laments alongside these refined readings of Sinatra numbers. Dylan sounds like a singer into his third and final set of the night, at ease with himself and the audience, in no rush to finish up, but who happens to be enjoying these songs, less of a jazz take than an artsy folk-house spin on the numbers. The song selection itself could be cause for a great deal of scrutiny. These Sina-tra- related numbers are missing the notable firebrands. “My Way,” “New York, New York,” and “It Was a Very Good Year,” are all notably missing. Instead, Dylan has chosen to focus on “Autumn Leaves,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” and the standout track, “Full Moon and Empty

Arms.” This is no hip-ster disc of s w i n g i n ’ b a c h e l o r pad tunes or mob s t r e n g t h glitz n’ glamour. Most likely, this is the closest Dylan has come to standing emotionally vulner-able since the 1983 disc “Infi-dels.” He doesn’t stand behind any of his usual assortment of bravado or rambling rhymes. His voice is as light and hard to catch as cigarette smoke. This is deeply personal, and makes you think “Even the most noted folk-singers in the world/Sometimes must have to stand naked.” – M.A. Rivera

Pink FloydThe Endless River

Parlophone; 2015This latest and final release

from the storied psychedelic band Pink Floyd is a mostly instrumental affair. Surviv-ing members David Gilmour

and Nick M a s o n c u l l e d t h r o u g h t a p e s r e c o r d e d with key-b o a r d p l a y e r

Richard Wright during The Division Bell sessions and assembled these songs. Wright passed away in 2010.

This is an intensely personal collection of sounds, stu-dio sculpted into songs, not intended to enter the Billboard 100 and stay there ad infitum. Ambient and dreamlike, this is reminiscent of their film soundtracks. This is largely restrained, and calls to mind their early work on Meddle. There’s no walloping single to wrap your head around or to lament the inevitable passing of everything. This is an unhur-ried collection of fragments of songs never fully developed, but worth a second listen. And the songs have been arranged into movements. The casual lis-tener may fail to be intrigued, and will probably wonder what

the fuss is all about. It can’t begin to be qualified as a rock record, or even an art jazz one. It mean-ders too much for easy definition. Where The Endless River succeeds, is when we listen to it as two dear old friends who’ve seen and shared things almost no one else can begin to understand, and are saying goodbye to a brother-in-arms the best way they truly know how. – M.A. Rivera

Album Reviews



If you’re serious about the beachside lifestyle, you’ll want a fresh fish taco to complete the blissful scene.

No one’s quite sure of the fish taco’s exact origins, but it’s safe to assume that they’ve been

part of the Latin and South American diet since people started catching fish and grind-ing corn to make tortillas.

The Baja peninsula is often cited as the birthplace of the fish taco as we know it

– whether from San Felipe or Ensenada still stirs fierce argu-ment – and surfers returning from Mexico are credited with bringing this simple dish state-side sometime in the 1950s.

The fish taco as we know it consists of lightly fried white fish enfolded in a tortilla and topped with shredded cabbage, a cream-based sauce, fresh salsa or pico de gallo, and a squirt of lime juice. Variations on this theme exist of course, but that combination is generally agreed to be the ideal one. However Americanized the fish taco has become is beside the point, because its popularity as the quintessential beachside food is unprecedented.

Locally, some of the best examples can be found at the Sandbar Sports Grill, the “home” of the fish taco.

Sandbar owner Andrew Bunin has made fish tacos his signature dish since moving the restaurant from California to Cocoa Beach 10 years ago. All it takes is a visit during one of their Taco Tuesdays to see that they’re one of the Sandbar’s most popular items.

“We felt the East Coast needed to experience what they

do all up and down the West Coast and Mexico,” he told us. “We’ve sold roughly 1.5 million of them since we opened here.”

“What makes our tacos unique in that we only use mahi-mahi. We try to keep it simple. Good old-fashioned fresh ingredients. Our pico de gallo is cut by hand every day, but our homemade jalapeño white sauce is the true secret weapon.”

The mahi (also hand cut) is prepared three ways – grilled, blackened, or Baja style.

Each version has its propo-nents, but we love the Baja style best. The mahi is hand breaded in panko breadcrumbs to make it light and crispy, and the special spices give it a unique, zesty twist.

Fish tacos are such an inte-gral part of the Sandar’s iden-tity that their mascot – “Mahi Mark” – is an enthusiastic, wide-eyed mahi, beckoning patrons to sate their appetites with food, drink, and fun.

“I had a old ‘88 Bronco when I moved to Cocoa Beach and I had it wrapped,” Bunin explains. “My designer, who I like the call ‘The Dream Maker,’ came up with the design of the mahi since that’s our specialty and

the other o w n e r of Sand-bar is Mark Phelps, who I’ve been pick-ing on for 21 years now. I thought I would just be a wiseguy and make him our mas-cot, and then it just snowballed!”

Fish tacos are so light and refreshing that they lend them-selves well to beverage pairings, and the Sandbar offers a multitude of beverage options to go with them.

“Everything goes with fish tacos,” Bunin laughs. “From Sex with an Alliga-tor to a nice frozen San-drita. But people also love the mother of all Hurricanes, the Category Five.”

“But I like to keep it sim-ple. Nothing beats your favor-ite ice cold beer, for whatever mood your in, and a shot of brown liqueur for dessert!”

Beer or liqueur notwithstand-ing, the fish taco is the ideal meal of the beachside lifestyle – fresh, cool, and delicious enough to leave you wanting more.

The Sandbar is located where 520 meets the beach, at 4301 Ocean Beach Blvd. in Cocoa Beach, adjacent to Alan Shepard Park behind Ron Jon Surf Shop. Taco Tuesdays see half-price tacos and drafts.

Sun, sand, waves, mellow music, a cold beer… What could possibly be missing from the equation?

Sandbar Sports Grill’s Fish Tacos

Melbourne Beach’s Black Dog sets itself apart by offering more than just bait and tackle; it adheres to the inef-fable spirit of the beachside by going all-in.

Owners Christopher and Holly Tanis themselves live the lifestyle they’re selling, but it didn’t happen overnight.

“The start of us at Black Dog was rough,” Holly admits. “Christopher

decided after a lifetime in the restau-rant industry that he wanted to ven-ture out and run his own business. He’d always loved to fish and decided after seeing Black Dog up for sale that it was going to be his next move in life. So we packed up our stuff in New Jersey and moved here to open up. We thought it would be easy, but it wasn’t!”

Keeping live bait alive, for instance,

was something they had to learn the hard way, but after three years in the industry Christopher and Holly can confidently say that they know what they’re doing.

“I wasn’t very big into fishing,” Holly admits, “but I told my husband that I’d read and listen and learn everything about it. Needless to say, I’m now com-pletely addicted to the sport – I even fish more than my husband now!”

Both Holly and Christopher have a passion for fishing that bleeds over into finding exceptional gear and tackle to keep the sport fun and rewarding.

“We stock our store with stuff that we fish with, products we wear and stand behind. There is nothing on our walls that we would not buy ourselves. I think that’s what makes Black Dog so special,” Holly says. “We may be a small shop, but we take pride in every little or big item on our walls.”

Christopher’s mother was already residing in Melbourne Beach, and the couple met in South Florida, so local connections made the big move easier for them.

“We already knew we loved the area,” Holly smiles. “There is just something special about ‘the island’ we call home. When you come up on the bridge looking overlooking the Indian River Lagoon, something inside you just relaxes and says, ‘Ahhh, home.’”

“Most people residing in Melbourne Beach have a passion for the out-doors. Whether it be fishing, surfing, biking, metal detecting, seashelling,

skateboarding, kayaking, gardening, swimming or boating, it makes for a passionate group of people who love nice weather all year round.”

Black Dog provides everything the avid angler could want or need – both live bait and artificial Fishbites, pom-pano rigs, leads, spoons, Power Pro, jigs, bucktails and flairhawks, Bomber, Yozuri, Live Target and Rapala plugs. You name it, they’ve got it.

Black Dog Bait & TackleBait and tackle shops are a dime a dozen along the Space Coast, so it takes something really special to stand out from the crowd.

This month’s recipe high-lights their famous fresh tuna salad, made with albacore tuna caught by the Albi, a long-line boat work-ing in international waters off the coast of Cape Canaveral.

The Albi is just one of many vessels that supplies Seafood Atlantic with its fresh fish, and they routinely bring in sword-fish, mahi mahi, yellowfin, blue-fin, and bigeye tuna as well.

Seafood Atlantic’s Master of Salads is Holly McRoberts, an original restaurant employee since they opened in 2009, and a “gun totin’, 4-wheel drivin’, pitbull havin’, fierce Florida cracker!”

The tuna salad Holly created and shares with us here is avail-able by the pound and is served on an excellent tuna melt at Sea-food Atlantic.

Seafood Atlantic Real Tuna Salad1 lb. tuna (albacore, yel-lowfin, or both!)3 oz. double egg mayonnaise2 oz. diced red onion4 oz. diced celery

1 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning3 oz. relish

Fresh tuna can be baked in the oven. Line a bak-ing dish or cookie sheet with foil, leaving enough to fold over the fish (this

will keep all the juices in and prevent it from drying out). Drizzle some vegetable oil in the bottom to keep it from sticking. Bake for 12 minutes at 400 degrees. The cooked fish can be broken and fluffed while still warm. Break apart any large chunks. Layer in ingredients, leaving the mayo for last. Mix thoroughly and enjoy.

Bartender ofthe Month

Lory Corzine, also known as LoLo, was born in Louisville, KY, and studied to become a high school teacher – “to be like Michelle Pfeiffer from ‘Danger-ous Minds,’ she says – before moving to Cape Canaveral three years ago.

LoLo has poured drinks on and off since college – for cor-porate bars, family owned bars, corner bars and country clubs – and currently plies her trade at Milliken’s Reef, where spring is in full bloom.

Drop by there to see LoLo for a quick smile, an expert-ly-poured beverage, and, if you’re lucky, some illuminating insights on classic American literature.

What’s your favorite thing about your job?

I love all the different mixes of people I get to talk to. I love hearing the stories that people come up with and watching the antics and loss of inhibitions after they have a few drinks.

Least favorite thing?

Not being able to enjoy last call.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve witnessed from behind the bar?

When Al Gore came into Mil-liken’s and ordered a Grey Goose on the rocks. He was actually very nice and very down to earth, and he drinks good vodka.

What’s the strangest concoc-tion you’ve ever been asked to make?

A brandy Old Fashioned Sour. I was living in Milwaukee and had never heard of this. The bar went through three cases of Korbel brandy a week. They drink a lot of brandy in Wisconsin.

What, in your opinion, is the most overrated drink out there?

Long Island Iced Teas. Everyone thinks there is so much alcohol in an LIT. Not so much; have a martini.

The most underrated?

A proper Bourbon Manhattan, shaken hard and served with per-fect ice crystals on the top. When ever it’s cold or I just need a feeling of warmth, I make one for myself.

What is your own drink of choice?

I drink sugar-free Red Bull and grape vodka on the rocks. There are several beachside bartend-ers that refer to this as a LoLo instead of a grape bomb.

Can you recommend a tried-and-true hangover cure?

Bitters and ginger ale. Then find the best cheeseburger you can. Always works for me.

Which celebrity, living or dead, would you most like to serve in your bar?

I have three, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and Sam-uel L. Clemens, also known as Mark Twain. I can only imagine that conversation.

What are some of the things on your bucket list?

I want to move to St. Croix and open a little place on the beach that serves breakfast, lunch, and good cocktails. It will close by 2 p.m. and then I can relax on the beach and write my book. I want to immortalize people in fiction.

What would you order for your last meal?

Ginger, soy, cilantro, mari-nated Ahi tuna, served over brown rice with asparagus. And a bottle of Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay.

Any parting words of wisdom?

“Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That’ll teach you to keep your mouth shut.” – Ernest Hemingway

I saw the whole crew. Your crew, my crew and their crew were all present and accounted for and more than proud to be onsite for this historic home-town moment.

I started to stress out when I saw Jimmy Leasure there with his skateboard as well. Was he there to try and steal my juice? Was he going to be the first to skate the Post Office? I’m certain that Rich would have wanted someone to be the first to skate around it after the dedi-cation, but Jimmy? I knew I had to keep a close eye on him.

The ceremony was as beau-tiful as it could have been. It was lighthearted and heartfelt,

which is always the way when Rich is the subject. We all got a kick out of Congressman Posey and Phil Salick, who apparently switched outfits for the day. Posey showed up in beachside dress with a Hawai-ian print shirt, and ironically, Uncle Phil was dressed top-notch in a suit and tie. Photos were snapped, Instagrams were posted. Facebook was flooded with group shots of family and friends who witnessed the incredible occasion.

After the ceremony and giv-ing Philip and David a hug and high-five there was a tap on my shoulder. Bruce Walker said, “Scooter, you can get a nice sla-lom line through those cones

over there!” My mind froze and I thought: “Bruce had been skating already. Bruce was the first person to skate the Salick Post Office. Not you.” I actually smiled and laughed and thought that Bruce was way more suited than me to be the first to roll under the new name. Anyway, I put my board down and carved through the cones smiling and thinking that in some way Rich would have wanted this. I was happy to be the second one to skate it. Well, I lost track of Jimmy, so I might have been third… Either way, way to go, Bruce. Thanks a million to Mr. Posey and lots of love to Rich!

RVCA Demo

SRVCA was in the house last month when Greyson Fletcher and Curren Caples stopped by the CB Skate Park March 14. After hanging out at the Beach N’ Boards fest, the skat-ers came to the Park to ride the concrete. The park was filled

with skaters, parents and per-fect weather. Greyson had been to the park in 2013 and was charging the entire place – huge stalefish airs, crazy long grinds, and that element of “Oh no, is he going to fall?....NO!” Gre-syon put on a real show. He and Curren were joined by Alex Sorgente, Mike Rogers, Killian Horne, and Keith Baldassare as things heated up in the flow-course and deep end. Alex has the place wired and was putting together some nice lines. Mike did the gnarly cradle carves and Keith B. did every trick to revert or disaster. Kids got autographs and Instagram pho-tos with the Cali-crew and we saw some amazing skateboard-ing. Greyson and Curren even handed out RVCA gift cards for tricks that they liked during the best trick jam. They also threw out a slew of socks, hats, and shirts to the groms. Big thanks to RVCA for making it happen!

St. Flat Tricks Day

Top o’ the muffin to ya… We pulled this one out of thin air the night before St. Patrick’s (Flat-Tricks) Day, a small flat-ground contest where the skat-ers had to do three tricks in a row. Richard Hatten of Mel-bourne took top honors with two great combo runs for the 12-Up Category and Grace Marhoefer took 2nd in the 11 and Under. We will be back next year with parades, Irish dancers, green soda, and better accents.

Operation Surf

Operation Surf was going on as we went to press and my work schedule made it difficult to get there as a volunteer. On Sunday I disconnected from the workplace, the internet and the telephone and started my day at the Hilton, where Todd Holland, Sean Slater and an “army” of surf gurus volun-teered to help take wounded veterans surfing. The energy was amazing. These servicemen were

surfing like naturals – cutting down the face, locking in to a high line, riding to the sand! I think I even saw a guy get bar-reled. I hold a special place for our military, having served in the Air Force from 91-95. I was lucky to never see combat when I went to the Middle East the-ater, but these guys did. They paid about as high a price as any-one possibly could during their tours and they have my utmost respect. It was great seeing them enjoy the surf. It made me think twice about all the nonsense I complain about. Get involved or donate at: www.amazingsur-fadventures.org

Earth Day

On April 22 we will not be turn-ing on the lights at the Park. Come on out for an afternoon

of free skating, best trick contests, gar-dening and whatever else we think of by then.

This page is dedicated in lov-ing memory to our good friend, Amy Gellert 1973-1994. Rest in peace.

Break Out the Warm Water WaxBy Dan Reiter

At first glance, Aggie seems like your average second grader. He’s funny, fearless, shy, and kind all at the same time. We talked about school, spring break, and the so-close-yet-so-far sum-mer. He said his plans for spring break are to work on some math problems. I couldn’t believe it… A kid who wants to do math on vacation?! He then assured me he also wants to spend plenty of time on his other two loves, skateboarding and surfing.

When Aggie talks about the ocean, a calm-ness comes over him followed by a whirl of excite-ment once when we touch on surfing, and his feelings about the sport are similar to the buildup of a set of waves. His passion for the ocean is contagious, and it’s safe to say he enjoys a healthy addic-tion to it.

Aggie wants to become a marine biologist when he gets older so he can always be close to the ocean. He loves all sea life, and isn’t even afraid of sharks. “We are going into their house,” he told me. “We need to be careful.”’

Be sure to support Aggie at the 2015 Eas-ter Fest this month. He’ll be surfing in the 12-and-Under /

Division, and will also be participating

in NSA and Gnarley Charly events as well as local surf and skate competitions.

As we parted, Aggie gave shoutouts to Todd and Lauren Holland, Speedy, Colby, Grant from the School of Surf, and all the guys at the Cocoa Beach Skate Park.

Casually sitting on skateboards at the end of his drive-way, 8-year-old Aggie Leonard and I settle down for a chat.

An Australian geologist and professor at the University of Melbourne, Ian Plimer, claims that volcanoes emit more car-bon than humans and s u g g e s t s we should a b a n d o n our efforts for change. W h e n pressed for explanation, he evaded q u e s t i o n s and demonstrated inaccurate or selective interpretation of data. Pilmer is the director of several mining companies that would be adversely affected if govern-ments enact climate legislation. Plimer has also spoken at the Heartland Institute’s Interna-tional Conference on Climate Change, which received more than $21 million in fund-ing from Exxon Mobil and the Koch brothers.

More recently, Wei-Hock Soon, a physicist at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astro-physics, claims that climate change is caused by variations in the sun’s energy. Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act revealed that Soon’s research was funded by at least $1.2 million from Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum Institute, and the Charles. G. Koch Charitable Foundation. It appears to me that we have scientists getting paid to blame climate change on volcanoes and the sun, both of which have been around since long before the industrial revolution, which is the true catalyst for climate change.

Florida is the canary in the coal mine when it comes to climate change. Miami Beach has started experiencing water

rise with f l o o d i n g of garages, residences, and busi-n e s s e s . Insurance c o m p a -nies are r e c e i v i n g claims for salt water

damage to cars during flooding. If all of the ice on the planet melted, much of Florida would be underwater. It’s no help to us that Florida has a climate science denier as governor that recently responded to the threat of climate change by pretend-ing it doesn’t exist. Officials with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have been restricted from using the terms “climate change” and “global warming” in official documents.

If there is one environmen-tal issue significantly more important than all others, it is climate change. With the tech-nology and innovations that are becoming available to lessen our dependence on oil, gas, and coal it is possible to prevent climate failure, but we need to work together. When more of us realize that big corporations extracting oil, coal, and gas from the earth are only inter-ested in money and that their greed is driving us toward vir-ulent living conditions the nor-mal human response would be anger. Maybe we can use anger to get over our fear of change.

Changing our way of living is the most important challenge for homo sapiens. Some see change as a threat to their way of life, but continuing to live this way is a threat to our chil-dren’s futures.

We’ve made it through Bike Week, Spring Break and Snowbird Season. It’s time for things to warm up, both the weather and the fishing. I’m looking forward to both. It’s been a particularly cool winter for us and I’m ready for some warmth!

Last month there were early signs of the dolphin run

beginning. There’s just some-thing about a warm spring day and mahi dancing behind the boat on every line. Well, maybe not every line, but there were definitely a few around. Maybe not double-digit catches, but a couple of fish scattered here and there.

If conditions remain rel-atively constant and/or

improve in April, look for the dolphin run to ramp up to full speed. Mixed in with the ‘phins, there should be a few sails and an occasional wahoo or blackfin tuna. Bal-lyhoo rigged on mono is the best way to target the sails and dolphin, while the ballyhoo/lure combo rigged on wire will work for the ‘hoos. Keep the mono baits tight to the teaser and the wire rigs either long or on the downrigger.

On the bottom this month, we should start to see some of the larger amberjack as they will group to spawn. Most of the action will be from the 27-fathom ridge on out to the deep wrecks and cones. Once you find where the fish are holding, they could stay on that spot for the whole month. Take plenty of large live baits as there are still plenty of red snapper and gag grouper to contend with.

The slow trolling last month was very hit or miss because of some bad water hanging around. Provided conditions improve, the live bait bite could be red hot this month. When the kings show back up there should be some cobia, sails, and mahi joining them on the reef.

Either way, make the most of the bluebird days and go get ‘em!

A couple of weeks ago we were catching some black drum up to 70 lbs., which gave us an awesome fight. Tar-pon should start showing up here on our beaches anytime now with all of this warm weather we’ve been having; same with the tripletail. You can find the tarpon anywhere down the beach; just look for where the bait is or if you see them rolling on the surface. The kingfish bite has been also decent with slow troll-ing live pogies or dead cigar minnows.

April is also a good month to target the spring migra-tion of cobia. They’re awe-some fighting fish and are a lot of fun because you

sight-fish them. On top of that, they make for some delicious eating. Cobia can be caught and found in mul-tiple ways. When chugging along in the ocean look out for manta rays, because cobia love to hang out with them. You can also find them on bait pods and free swim-ming on the surface, so make sure to keep an eye out at all times. If you’re a bottom fisherman, you can also catch them on the wrecks just off-shore of here. Cobia can be a very aggressive fish that will pretty much eat anything, but the most common thing to use for them is a cobia jig tipped with squid.

The redfish bite is still

going strong in our lagoons. You can find them in schools and singles along the shorelines and on the flats. Most of the fish I’ve been catching on my char-ters have been from 20”-35”. Jigs, jerk baits, and cut bait have worked the best for us; concentrate on fishing the potholes, which are the sand spots you see on the grass flats.

You can also find the seatrout intermingled with the redfish on the flats. My clients have been catching some nice trout, some com-ing in at up to 8 lbs. You can use the same method I men-tioned for the redfish.

Good luck out on the water!

The Sweet Smell of Fish

Well, can you feel it in the air? I can, and I hope you can too. It’s the sweet smell of spring time.

Hoppy April!By Capt. Jamie Glasner

This month the targeted species are cobia, tripletail, redfish, black drum and sea trout. So far everything has been hopping out of the water and biting well.

The payload for the launch included the Air Force’s ninth Block IIF navigation satellite for the Global Positioning System.

GPS IIF-9 is a next-gener-ation satellite, incorporating various improvements to pro-vide greater accuracy, increased signals, and enhanced perfor-mance for users.

Hours before launch, two wing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters took off from Pat-rick AFB to patrol the Eastern Range, the 70-mile long by 10-mile wide swath of ocean extending east from the Cape that must be cleared of all air and marine traffic prior to every launch to ensure boaters

are a safe distance from poten-tially falling rocket debris.

The 920th performs combat search and rescue as its primary mission, which includes rescu-ing servicemembers trapped and or wounded behind enemy lines.

Additionally, the wing is responsible for civil search and rescue, humanitarian relief and support of rocket launches. To date, the unit has saved more than 4,000 lives, both in peace-time and combat.

For more information on the 920th Rescue Wing, follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Another thing that sets Fin & Fly apart from other charters is the top-notch gear Jamie has chosen to use– Shimano reels and rods, Owner hooks, Minn Kota trolling motors, Power Pole shallow water anchors, and Humminbird electronics among them, tools that help him get the job done and catch fish.

In the future, Jamie plans to get two more boats and hire cap-tains to build a premiere fishing charter service, which should be easy enough considering his contagious passion for one of the beachside’s favorite sports.

the Optimist International World Championship for Junior Golf in Palm Beach. Bingo is another major fund-raiser for the Club, and Bob is their Bingo Project Chairman.

When I ask Bob about some of the more memorable events during past Fishouts, he subtly reveals the core principles of the Optimist Club.

“All of the truly memorable events are negative – centered around the one that got away,” he says. “Like the 7-year-old whose big drum came off the hook with the landing net just inches away.”

It’s hard to keep a positive out-look at times like those – par-ticularly if you’re 7 – but the Cocoa Beach Optimist Club is here to make it a little easier.

“We also sell a lot of Penn and Shimano rods and reels, Star Rods, and CPI fishing carts,” Holly tells us. “Tim Wade Cast Nets are also a top-selling item; they’re the best cast nets in the business made right here in Melbourne.”

Black Dog also currently rents kayaks and offers guided kayak fishing trips and plans to expand their services even further.

But for now, they continue stocking their store with the right products for one of the beachside’s favorite pastimes.

Being the right people also helps. It’s what makes them so special.

qualify. Sheephead like to hang out near the pylons, and some fish like trout prefer to swim up top, others on the bottom like flounder. There will be plenty of volunteers walking around to assist families with tips and tricks for catching the big one, and hopefully this year (the Club is always optimistic), someone will catch the $10,000 fish.

When a contestant lands a fish they’ll bring it to the judg-ing booth located in the mid-dle of the dock area. The catch must be on the hook and alive to qualify. There’s nothing more exciting than watching a kid walk swiftly to the judging booth with their prize catch, and when that big fish gets paraded down the dock, every-one clamors to see the event.

One of the big rules to be aware of is that kids must be accom-panied by an adult at all times, but a parent or guard-ian can assist the child fishing only when he or she cannot control their catch. Addition-ally, if this happens the child must still have at least one hand on the pole at all times. Also be aware that if a fish bites the line of a unmanned fishing pole, the contestant must be the one that gets it out of the water.

Once the contest is over, everyone is invited inside the Terminal to witness the final tally to determine the winners for each age group. There will be some prizes given out and raffled off before the winners are announced.

At the Fishout’s inception 32 years ago, there weren’t as many other fishing activities for kids to engage in. The Cocoa Beach Optimist Club began the Fishout with the intention of allowing children to catch

the fishing bug all and spend time with their families all in one go. It has become an event

teens look forward to compet-ing in, and younger kids enjoy the chance to learn the tricks of the fishing trade, all while wait-ing on the great $10,000 fish to take their bait.

The Great Optimist Fishout takes place April 25 at Port Canaveral. Rules and conditions apply for catching the award-winning fish, and will be posted only at the event. Fish must be caught on a line with one barbed hook or lure (no multiple hooks) and no nets, traps, spears, or snagging are allowed. A land-ing net may be used. Be sure to register online at www.optimistfishout.com early to qualify for the free fishing pole to speed up your setup time the day of the event, however the Cocoa Beach Optimist Club will be happy to register anyone that shows up until 11 a.m. All decisions of the judges as to the weight and condition of the fish will be final and binding.

CinderellaDirector:

Kenneth Branagh Stars: Lily James, Cate Blanchett,

Richard Madden Having recently directed two action movies, Kenneth Branagh treats us to a live-action version of the classic story “Cin-derella.” The Disney cartoon-turned-film has all the fantastic elements you’d expect, with the fairy godmother, the handsome prince, and the glass slipper and the culmination is a delight-ful movie with a positive mes-sage. Featuring two leads from “Downton Abbey” and “Game of Thrones,” the casting for every role is perfect, especially Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother, and everything from Ella’s animal friends to the staff at the royal palace is color-ful and vibrant. Unlike last year’s “Maleficent,” the Disney story doesn’t stray far from the car-toon in which it’s based (albeit Ella’s initial meeting with the prince). The only misstep is the exclusion of songs to make the film even more memorable, but thankfully some are included in the film’s end-credits. Whether you’re a lifelong Disney fan or someone looking for a nice moviegoing experience, “Cin-derella” is just as sweet and charming as its characters. And don’t worry, though the magic may wear off, the hope and joy that it instills will endure far beyond the stroke of midnight. Grade: A

The GunmanDirector: Pierre Morel

Stars: Sean Penn, Jasmine Trinca, Javier Bardem

Jim Terrier (Sean Penn) is part of a team of mercenary assassins protecting miners in the Congo. When his final mission is car-ried out, he leaves, trying to put his dangerous life behind him. But any attempt to settle down is jeopardized when people attempt to kill him. Jeff Spicoli isn’t in high school anymore and has graduated to professional killer. As someone who rarely dabbles in the action genre, the Oscar winner fits right in. When the action isn’t keeping you on the edge of your seat, the story’s intrigue will keep you riveted. “Gunman” is an excit-ing thriller with some ingenious spots, including an intense knife fight and a home invasion with an explosive outcome. With the director of “Taken” at the helm, the movie proves it’s about more than just fast action, because it deals with realistic attributes like lost love, PTSD and how people live with the consequences of their actions. Penn may not be everyone’s first choice for a film of this nature but since much of it is a dramatic tale, he brings the right amount of depth and emo-tion to the story. Grade: A

Run All NightDirector: Jaume

Collet-Serra Stars: Liam Neeson,

Joel Kinnaman, Ed Harris Jimmy (Liam Neeson) and Sean (Ed Harris) have been friends since childhood. They share a bond deeper than brothers. One night, in defense of his son Michael ( Joel Kinnaman,) Jimmy kills Sean’s son, shatter-ing their bond. Jimmy and his son must survive the night and evade Sean’s vengeance along with the danger that comes with it. Neeson doesn’t play the nice hero this time around, nor does he pretend to be anything other than a father with a criminal past who seeks redemption by saving his son. The dark mood and atmosphere throughout the movie is a refreshing departure from Neeson’s previous work. Despite the fact that Neeson sel-dom changes his overall appear-ance in his films, he’s still able to play various characters with different perspectives and the backgrounds. Harris is just won-derful as Neeson’s old friend turned enemy, and they share strong chemistry in every scene. “Run All Night” isn’t the typi-cal Liam Neeson action movie one might expect, but rather a believable story fueled by its characters. Not only is “Run All Night” the third (and best) collaboration between Neeson and Collet-Serra, it is perhaps Neeson’s best action movie since “Taken.” Grade: A-

Inquire of RomeoBy Romeo Pomodoro

37thebeachsideresident.com

Romeo,The most fantastic girl in the world dumped me recently and I still can’t get over it. I don’t know what to do – I’ve never felt this low in all my life. They say there are plenty of fish in the sea, but I don’t know where to start looking.

Pete R. Satellite Beach

It’s true, Roger, that there are plenty of other fish in the sea, most of them probably even more fantastic, and with my help, you will find them! The perfect place to start is by let-ting me take you on one of my charters on my long vessel, “The Macaroni Daddy.” As the temperature out there be-gins to drop, I highly recom-mend we go inland just after sunset and toss our lines in the

hidden pockets where many of the beauties tend to congre-gate during mating season. I think we’d be best off affixing a few 12-ouncers and some Spanish fly to our equipment, then dangling our poles just in front of their noses. It might take a while to get a nibble, but be patient. Once you feel the slightest tug, jerk back and reel ‘em in. We should ex-pect plenty of rod-bending ac-tion! Let’s hook up!

Romeo,If you’re not using one of your many concubines, can I borrow one for a few weeks? Ha ha!

“J.T.” Cape Canaveral

There is one I’m not using at the moment actually. She’s

rather rough, but very will-ing. Look for her in the Yel-low Pages under “Stump Grinding.”

Romeo,“Shelley,” my girlfriend of six months is very amorous. The problem is that she’ll do every-thing but straight intercourse. As much as I enjoy all the other playing around, I really want to take our love life to the next level, but she’s vehemently against it. I still get satisfied, and even though I find it a little strange, I’m afraid to jeopardize our relationship because she’s so hot and so skilled. What should I do?

“Jim” Cocoa Beach

This girl sounds like a curi-ous case, Kyle. In fact, she reminds me of the faulty elevator in my old Milan apartment building. Each time I wanted to go up to my luxurious penthouse on the 30th floor, it dropped me off in the basement. Each time I pushed the “Up” button, it was going down on me. If she’s as at-tractive and as skilled as you claim, staying where you are might be better than taking the stairs.
