TARPON BASICS
How to Catch Your First Big Tarpon on Fly By Pat Ford
Anyone with basic fly casting skills can catch a 100 lbs. tarpon as long as they are willing to prepare for the chal-lenge. In order to succeed, you must keep the following principles in mind.Most beginners can cast a light fly rod with some accuracy but in order to fish for large tarpon you must be able to cast a heavier fly rod such as a 12-weight rod.Practice with a heavy fly rod ahead of time until you can cast 60 feet comfortably and accurately. Tarpon fishing is expensive; you don’t want to start practicing the day
you are fishing for them. Your tarpon outfit will require a medium size fly reel with braid backing and a good floating fly line. A Tibor Gulfstream is a good example. Your local fly shop can help you put a good outfit together. Choosing a good tarpon guide is very important. You want to be guided by someone that guides fly fishermen regularly. Florida is the best tarpon destination and you can get a good guide recommendation from the following outfitters. The Fly Shop of Miami (305-669-5851), Florida Keys Outfitters in Islamorada (305-664-5423) or in Key West, the Salt Water Angler (800-223-1629). Tell them that you want a fly-fishing tarpon guide. For tarpon fishing in Northwest Florida contact Captain Ghuro Bruer at 850-637-2628 and Capt. David Magnum at 850-534-4349.Before your first tarpon trip I strongly recom-mend that you purchase Stu Apte’s video “The Quest for Giant Tarpon” You can order this video from Stu’s website Stuapte.net. This video will provide valuable insight into fly-fishing for tarpon and will definitely speed you along the learning curve. I consider this video a require-ment for all tarpon fly fishermen.At the end it will be you, your guide and a group of big tarpon in front of you. You perfor-mance will greatly depend on your preparation prior to this encounter. Good Luck!

if you happen to be fortunate (or just plain rich) enough to believe that caribbean vacations merit exorbitant prices such as $50 breakfasts, $450 seaside hotel rooms, $250 romantic dinners-for-two, and fishing expedi-tions for $350/hour, then we strongly recommend you steer yourself to the many islands in the region which begin with “saint” – too many to list here.On the other hand, sharp tourists and those adventurers looking for untouched, largely passed-by tourist destinations would do well to head to corn island, found off the coast of nicaragua. be forewarned – leave behind all sense of expensive luxury and opulence, as this is truly for the adventurers out there. Deep pock-ets don’t guarantee a memorable, gorgeous caribbean vacation – and corn island proves this many times over.corn island is located 74 kilometers from the coast at bluefields, found in the caribbean side of nicaragua. This is a place where you can find seaside accommodations for about $45/night at the more modest hotels,

up to a very manageable $85/night for top-notch, four-star rooms, the likes of which you would find at those other islands for five times the rate.During a recent visit to Managua for a tourism conference, i was invited to this small island and immediately thought, “mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes.” in short order i was whisked to a small plane right out of indiana Jones or world war ii to set off for my adventure. i am an avid traveler and love flying, but much prefer the larger, more modern jets. Though the take-off left me sweating and gripping the arm rests, the trip itself was pleasant and comfortable. The flight attendant was one of the most friendly i have ever met, and did an excellent job. after a brief stopover in bluefields, we were on our way to corn island. total travel time from Managua to corn island is just under two hours, including the layover.One of the first things you’ll notice about corn island is that traffic sim-ply doesn’t exist. neither do paved roads, for the most parts, or stores. Everything is as close to nature as you can get, and this is the true draw of the island – it is largely as it was when it was occupied by the sumu and Kukhra natives ages ago.tales of lore and pirates seeking refuge in the calm waters of the island became legendary and at the end of the 16th
century, the island was a major thor-oughfare for pirates of all stripes and nationalities – a short layover stop, really, for plundering the lucrative spanish gold trade routes between central and southern america. This history lesson is relevant even today – the adventurous spirit of those pirates still permeates the island.to speak of corn island is to speak of exotic beaches and tropical bliss, with waves lapping the gorgeous beaches and a quiet peace permeat-ing the island. Your worries will leave you behind while you are on the island – a kind of tropical haze will make you forget all about them. The best beaches are found on the west coast. There, you’ll find the arenas beach Hotel. For the island, it is relatively pricey at $50, but well worth it, with all the accommoda-tions you would expect – especially such stellar seaside vistas. Open your room windows, and the fresh ocean breezes will take you away. The hotel is owned and managed by a family, and are friendly and attentive. Leslie, the owner, invited us for a drink one night on the beach. it was an excellent experience, and one i hope many can share – it is one of my fondest memories from the island.

Our visit to the Kamayura Tribe was a great cultural exchange and also a terrific fishing experience. On this trip we had the opportunity to fish with Ian-Arthur de Sulocki and Allan Zaremba as our guides; both of these gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable about fishing in the Amazon. We caught a number of large fish that we submitted as potential world records to the International Game Fish Association.

Sunken Treasures By Clement Atia
The discovery of America on Friday October 12, 1492 was linked from the outset, trade, smuggling, theft and piracy. The fleet of the Indies, as he was, carrying gold, silver, precious stones, and some agricultural products like cocoa, from the Spanish viceroys in America to the growing power of the Crown of Castile. This trade was tightly controlled by strict laws that established not only high taxes of 20%, but only one port in Spain to receive all the goods, Sevilla. Because of this tight control, Spain became the richest and most powerful country in Europe and that wealth allowed him to cover their inter-nal wars, but also battles against his enemies the Eng-lish, French and Dutch. Know-ing these details is not difficult to imagine how im-portant it was to

guarantee the successful arrival of the fleets of the New World. For this reason and in 1520 be-gan organizing fleets protected by armed vessels, in order to pre-vent the robbery by the French and English pirates. After com-pleting their precious cargo in Cartagena de Indias, Colom-bia and Portobelo, in what is now Panama, the fleets met in Havana to prepare to return to Spain. This was not unknown to the enemies of the Crown, which led many attacks on these con-voys or caravans, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, but it was the hurricanes and tropical storms that caused more damage to these fleets dragging to the bottom of ocean million in gold coins and silver bars, emer-alds and fine jewelry. The drop in production of precious metals in America began to decline in the mid-seventeenth century, and
the threat of the enemies of Spain also caused serious damage to the empire, but was certainly a devastating blow as the loss of fleets of 1622, which sailed the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, and the fleets of 1715 and years later in 1733. Others were captured with all its treasures in 1628 in Matanzas Bay, Cuba. A fleet of 1656 and 1657 were captured by the British in 1702 and was destroyed in the Battle of Rande. From this information we will focus only later in the fleets were destroyed by storms off the coast of Florida and that still continue to make coins and relics in the sands of our beaches when the wind blows hard...

Successful fishing from a young Venezuelan fisherman
We received these photos of catches made by Gustavo, a cheery young fisherman of Venezuela. The Los Roques bonefish weighed 8 pounds, 8 pounds tippet. The peacock weighed 16.5lbs., El Guri with 12libras tippet, and of Uraima payara weighed 17 pounds Falls with wire tippet of 15 lbs.
A total of 50 billfish were released at this year’s Venezuelan International Super Slam tournament in two days of fishing including three Grand Slams. Uncharacteristically, there were more sails than whites released during this event held on October 1st and 2nd; the traditional height of the white marlin season. The totals by species were 9 blue marlin, 12 whites and 29 sailfish. All catches were on 30-pound-test line and verified by highly Quali-fied Observers on every boat. It was the team aboard the Venezu-elan 58’ Viking, Plastika, skippered by Capt. Jorge ‘Carapacho’ Mayorca that took the early lead at mid day of the first day of fishing when they added a blue marlin release to the sailfish they had caught earlier in the morning while Florida boat 60’ Carolina

Custom, Jessica Lee, and Puerto Rico’s 62’ Hatteras, Bluebird, were right on their tails with two sailfish and two white marlin releases respectively. However, in the afternoon Plastika added two white marlin to their day’s total earning them an additional 200 bonus points for completing a Grand Slam (sailfish, blue marlin and white marlin). Jessica Lee added a white and a sail in the afternoon and Bluebird added a sail keeping both within striking distance at the end of day one. Coincidentally, the three leaders scored bonus points by using circle hooks. On the second
and final day shortly after lines-in both Jessica Lee and Bluebird released a sailfish each, but Plastika answered with a sail to maintain their lead. Meanwhile Venezuelan 35’ Bertram, Someday Lady stole the morning as a new player making their move by releasing four sails plus a white. They had only released one sailfish the day before having lost the morning at the dock with mechanical problems. In the afternoon Plastika continued to build on their lead adding a pair of sailfish, but at 2:10PM, Some-day Lady released a blue marlin, thus completing a Grand Slam, “leap-frogging” in the standings from ninth place at the start of the day to second place and putting them within striking distance of the leader However, by the time the call for “lines out” came at 4:30PM, neither Plastika, nor Someday Lady had been able to reg-ister additional catches. Team Plastika with Venezuelan anglers Dr. Roger Galindo, Juan Angarita and Alvaro Galindo emerged victo-
rious with an impressive total of 2,220 points. Team Someday Lady finished second with a score of 1,900 points, followed by third place Jessica Lee with 1,620 points and team member, Yerison Millan, as the Super Slam’s Top Individual Angler.

Vizcayaby lilene faroy

From the moment we step foot in the portals of the palace of Viscaya, it is like having been transported as if by the art of magic to Tuscany in Italy, during the time of the Italian Renaissance. With its majestic gardens, immaculately landscaped and manicured, and the nostalgic beauty of the mansion, Viszcaya is very coveted to serve as the head-quarter for different events and functions, such as weddings, Quincea-ñeras, End of Year parties, political fundraisers and many others. Throughout the years, it has been used to host meetings of prominent dignitaries, such as the one between President Reagan with Pope John Paul II in 1987, as a result of the Supreme Pontiff’s first visit to Miami. The pictures taken in the palace of Vizcaya, be it those of its beautiful
interiors, romantic gardens or the ones with an aerial perspective, have a truly wonderful quality, which is etched in our minds as an unfor-gettable memory. That is why avid photographers, amateurs or profes-sionals, go there to realize their photographic visions with excellent results. Furthermore, it has been the backdrop of many movies and other film projects because of its visual impact, such as “The Money Pit”, “Any Given Sunday”, and “Tony Rome”, just to mention a few. Even though as the years have gone by Vizcaya has suffered damages because of hurricanes, the environment and simply by the inexorable passing of time, it still retains remarkable beauty and allure. At this moment, there are plans in place for its restoration and the preserva-tion of its formal gardens and other areas of the mansion as well. The impressive collection of sculptures scattered throughout the patio is also in the process of renovation.
Vizcaya shines in the map of Miami as an enigmatic treasure that seems to have been preserved in a time capsule to be enjoyed by all the people that visit it.

Native Tribes Fight for Survival in the Amazon

day by such factors as globalization, deforestation and climate change. Every time that I have the opportunity to visit such groups of native people I learn many valuable lessons about life and return home enriched by the experience. This summer my son Martini and I traveled deep into the Amazon Jungle on an explor-atory fishing expedition organized by Fish Quest outfitter Captain Alan Zaremba and guided by renowned Amazonian fishing captain Ian -Arthur de Sulocki.
This adventure took us to the banks of the Xingu River and home to the Kamayura Indians of the Amazon. The most interesting part of our adventure was the fact that we had the opportunity to stay at the Chief’s
house and live among the tribe’s people for a week. The Kamayura tribe has about 500 members in total, living in four villages in close proximity to the upper Xingu River. We stayed in the village of Morena with Chief Yo-Wopi and his family in a large hut built with tree branches and covered by a roof made of Sape grass that reached all the way to the floor.
The Kamayura lead a very simple existence with minimal outside contact. Their diet consists of fish from the rivers and lakes, which they shoot with bow and arrow, vegetables and fruit that they grow or gather from the rainforest. They have very little outside income and totally depend on the rainforest for their survival.
In 1961 the Brazilian government established the
Xingu National Park in order to protect the Kamayura and their lands. Today the kamay-ura are threatened by defor-estation and climate change, which has had significant negative effects in this part of the Amazon, leading to hotter weather, increased incidence of forest fires and decreased food supplies. At the end of our stay I wondered how it would be to live such a simple existence devoid of the pressures of our civilized world and the constant stream of bad news that we are always exposed to. As we said goodbye to Chief Yo-Wopi and his family we could only hope that the Kamayura can live in peace and prosperity for many generations to come.

the reef, its beauty, economic value and conservation, a major challenge
By Maria BelloScientific Director of Sol y Mar Magazine
Photos cortesy of NoAA
The reefs, with its extraordinary beauty have not only served as a source of inspiration to artists, educators and researchers in the course of human history, but also play a key role in protecting coastal ecosystems from erosion, storm and hurricanes, provide habitat for many species and provide materials for the phar-
maceutical industry. But perhaps the added economic value to coastal communities is what leads to greater reflection. Although the economic value of coral reefs is widely accepted, it has not yet been actually estimated in real terms on many communities dependent on this resource, let alone the negative economic impact (destructive fishing practices, marine pollution, sedimentation and physical destruction of coral among the most notorious) for this unique ecosystem of great value for their high productivity, diversity, besides being extremely attractive and generate multiple sources of income. According to recent reports from the global monitoring network in 2008, 27% of the existing reefs were lost,
16% due to global warming caused by climate change and 11% by human activity such as pollution, sedimentation, tourism, urban development and exploitation of reef communities. If we consider that the formation or recovery of the reef takes thousands of years and in most cases it is an irreversible loss, this is a great challenge: PRESERVE THE REEFS
Although in the last decades a lot of progress on efforts has been made to conserve coral reefs, both nationally and internationally, these still are not enough.
The International Initiative on Coral presented at the “Convention
of Biological Diversity” in 1994, was the result of collaborative arrangements of 8 countries to implement conservation measures for corals. It has expanded and now involves numerous governments, private industry, nongovernmental organizations and concerned citizens around the world. The United States was among the first countries to adopt a national initiative with an international platform that would allow the conservation of coral reefs and associated ecosystems. In 2000, President Bill Clinton recognized the value and the plight of the corals, authorizing the “coral reef conser-vation Act” for the preservation of the reef, which has been ratified to date. But this is an effort of every citizen of the world.
Have you ever ask how can you help?
Do not touch: when diving or snorkeling, do not touch the coral structures, not collect pieces of coral as a trophy, do not sit or stand on the reef, enjoy its beauty, but not damaged.
No anchor: be cautious when deciding to anchor in a reef area, do not throw the anchor over the reef, and lie on the sand or on buoys insurance if they exist.
No Littering: Do not throw debris on the reef, store them in the boats and place them in the garbage of the sea.
Navigate with caution: Find out the location of the reef before sailing near them, thus avoiding extensive damage caused by impacts.
No advertising your business is sinking!
What good is having a great product or service if you are not advertised?
No advertising your business and finances will suffer in the economic field, no matter the years that has been open for business, or how many customers you have. In these times of global economic crisis must invest much more money on advertising to get ahead and to counter the competition. If you do not invest in advertising their financial performance will remain the same. You can have the best product or service in the world, but if not disclosed, nobody knows, or visit it: it is like there. If you want to expand your business must increase its advertising. A well-known businessman recommends: “In the world of business when a company’s sales begin to decline, the first thing some owners make is to cut expenses. Adver-tising and promotion are the first to apply the cuts. But with less advertising sales slow more and the problem only gets worse. Instead of making cuts in advertising, you should begin an intensive period of advertising and promotion. “In United States 65% of Americans prefer
to learn, shop and request services through the Internet without wasting time or gas to get to a store when they have the option of receiving the product or service in the comfort of your home or office and, in many cases, with free shipping included. In these times of global economic crisis, the business owner who does not advertise their products or services is doomed to complete failure of your business. The digital magazine advertising through the Internet, for massiveness of its speed and reach thousands of people in seconds, is the best way to publicize their products and services to succeed in the competitive world of business. www.solymarmagazine.com
