I find that photography can have a powerful impact on the way people see the world around them and perceive things. It can even help us determine how we should feel about something. I love sharing images of shark and stingray smiles because they are actually quite comical, especially the rays. I hope they make people themselves smile, but also encourage them to think differently about these often demonized creatures.Guest ColumnistSep 8th, 2016
Reefs in 55-foot depths have resulted in diverse fish assemblages. Eighteen species in the snapper-grouper complex, including black grouper, black seabass, gray snapper, mutton snapper, cubera snapper and yellowtail snapper have been documented on artificial reefs at these depths...Treasure CoastSep 8th, 2016
One of the most impressive things to witness on a windy day is a kiteboarder soaring high above water level being held up by just few thin lines and a colorful kite.Guest ColumnistSep 8th, 2016
Buying the land will not stop discharges in the next 30 years. Buying the land will not stop algae blooms. Buying the land will not stop the loss of oyster beds or sea grass, but all this hype over an anticipated weather event has brought overwhelming national attention to our state. If we allow water to be discharged to the Everglades as is presently suggested by the Buy the Land folks, HABs will flow through those gates just as they do east and west now. And why should we expect anything different?Guest ColumnistSep 8th, 2016
Bottom fish, especially snapper and grouper, will continue to be a main focus of offshore grocery getters, as many species will begin to post up on near shore reefs in 50 to 80 feet of water. Large schools of vermilion snapper will be found on area reefs, as they continue to spawn this month.Capt. Rocky CarbiaSep 6th, 2016

This is the time to catch a lot of snook, tarpon, big jacks, and big sharks. Look for the bait and you will find the fish. You will see tarpon and snook jumping out of the water getting ready for winter by filling up on these mullet.Capt. Chris SharpSep 1st, 2016
A drop in barometric pressure before a storm will be an additional bonus to this epic fall fishing. Snook season is open (on September 1) and the scouting trips indicate a good bite. Plenty of snook are being caught over the last couple weeks from the inlet to the Roosevelt Bridge.Capt. John YoungSep 1st, 2016
