Big-game fish see red when they see flying fish, one of their favorite foods to eat.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
Do you have the GPS coordinates for the deep-water rigs called Oregano and Serrano? I know they are located in Garden Banks within a 20-mile radius south of the Auger.
Thanks for your help![…]
“When I turn on both my console and bow fish finders, at least one of them goes crazy!” This is the most common fish-finder complaint I hear, and it stems from a lack of understanding of how sonar works.[…]
You won’t have to pay $100 for one of the most efficient artificial lures in bass fishing history.[…]
President Bush has had some sort of epiphany.
It’s obvious. Perhaps he was visited by the ghost of Christmas Future one sleepy August night on Pennsylvania Avenue. Maybe Christmas Future held the hand of the leader of the free world and took his spirit on a midnight stroll through the heart of America’s Wetland.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:

When was the last time you caught a limit of speckled trout? Think about it. When was the last time you and your buddies pulled slime-coated, contorted trout, one by one, from the ice chest, counted them and then picked up your rods to catch the number remaining?

Dear Capt. Paul:
If possible, I would like to know the coordinates for Basket Reef on Big Lake.[…]
The cost to the nation to fix the long-ignored problem (of coastal erosion) — $14 billion — is only a fraction of the inevitable cost if the inaction continues — $100 billion in infrastructure alone.

When work or play calls for AC power on your boat or tow vehicle, an inverter is usually the simplest and least-expensive way to provide it. Just plug the inverter into a cigarette lighter or accessory power socket and then plug your AC tools or toys into the inverter.[…]
Hey Capt. Paul:
I inherited a copy of Maptech’s Offshore Navigator 5.01, and am wondering if I can use it in my Magellan Marine Gold model by adjusting the datum in the GPS.[…]
We encounter all sorts of light conditions out on the water, and they all affect the way the screens on our electronics look.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
Can you give me the coordinates for the Sandy Point rigs?[…]
