T h e V i l l a g e N E W S L E T T E R P a g e 6 J U N E 2 0 0 8 The summer heat is here and with it water temps rise, sea conditions calm and bait fish start to show. The offshore fishing becomes full of life bringing in a wide variety of species to target. The Dolphin are found near floating debris and any other cover that is holding bait fish. Many of the Dolphin caught range in size from 10 to 30 pounds. The Wahoo fishing is great as many anglers target them at sunrise as they high speed troll dead ballyhoo. The Wahoo are very toothy and wire leaders are needed. The size of the Wahoo ranges from 10 to 50 pounds. The Bonita are a fish that many anglers view as a junk fish but they are a blast to catch. The Bonita are very aggressive and school together attacking live baits, dead baits and artificial lures presented to them. They also make for steady action keeping the kids busy all day long. The Kingfish can be found near local wrecks as many of the kings are targeting bait schools. Live baits slow trolled or under a kite will produce many strikes for anglers. Those anglers flying a kite or slow trolling live baits might even find a few Sailfish still roaming our local waters. The bottom fishing for Snapper and Grouper is great on the deeper wrecks using live baits and dead baits dropped down to the bottom. The Amberjacks can also be caught on the deeper wreck. Once hooked up with a fish on a wreck pump hard and fast so the fish does not get you caught on the wreck. This also helps to avoid the sharks from taking your prized catch. The inshore fishing starts to take a turn as many of the fish targeted are found on our local beaches and deep passes. The Tarpon and Snook will be schooled up along the beaches and local inlets. The Tarpon can be seen rolling near the surface chasing bait schools. Live bait works best but artificial lures also produce strikes. The average size of the Tarpon ranges from 20 to 100 pounds. The Snook fishing is great near local inlets using live baits dropped to the bottom. These Snook when caught need to be handled with great care as they are full of eggs for the future. The Snook should be left in the water and not lifted out of the w ater b y th ere ja w. The average size of the Snook ranges from 10 to 25 pounds. The big Jacks will also be cruising our local inshore waters and beaches. The Jacks are very aggressive and will take live bait and artificial lures and jigs. The Jacks school together and make for a great fight on light tackle rods. The average size of the Jacks caught is 2 to 30 pounds. The Mangrove Snapper bite around rock piles and drop offs is great around the full moon. These fish are great eating and will take a wide variety of baits from live to artificial. Well that is the fishing report for June ~ hope you enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch! Tight Lines! Capt.

The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety, in conjunction with the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children, would like to extend an open invitation to all village residents to attend the 2nd annual “Operation Safe Kids” program at the Public Safety building (560 US Highway 1) on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. “Operation Safe Kids” is designed to provide education and awareness to parents and children together about preventable and dangerous situations. This program was established by the North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety in an effort to keep our communities “kids safe”. This assembly style presentation teaches children how to identify potential dangers, protect themselves from abuse, abduction and exploitation through a series of interactive scenarios. The presentation empowers children with the information, tools, and support they need to be safe, without frightening them. It teaches them how to use their instincts, intuition, and common sense sense to make smart choices, not scared reactions when confronted by danger. The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety will provide parents with a checklist of simple safety measures, deterrence strategies and solutions to minimize the chances of harm to their children. The information presented is designed to ignite conversation and interaction between parents and children regarding the dangers posed by abductors and molesters. It will also include a segment on internet safety presented by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

T h e V i l l a g e N E W S L E T T E R J U N E 2 0 0 8 F o l d o u t f o r c a l e n d a r ( P a g e s 7 & 8 ) P a g e 9 Tools and Toys Matches and lighters are useffu tools. To adults, they seem harmless but in the hands of children they can be deadly. You wouldn't dream of leaving sharp knives lying around where children can reach then. Matches and lighters must be treated the same way. Tell children that matches and lighters are dangerous tools that only grownups should use and never utilize them as a toy yourself because children are great imitators. Adults must control the availability of matches, lighters, and other fire-starting tools in the home. If you smoke, keep them in your pocket or your purse and any other implements hidden out of the reach of children. A little prevention goes a long way! Be Sure to be Safe School’s out and the kids are on the water. Now is the time to be extra careful on your boat. Check your safety equipment: life jackets, flares, and fire extinguishers. When you’re on the water you must have a life jacket for everyone on board and a floating cushion or ring buoy to throw if someone falls overboard. Be alert at the helm. Always be on the lookout for other boats and those personal water craft that are always scooting around. Obey the “rules of the road” and pay attention to channel markers and the regulatory markers that establish speed limits and warn of hazardous areas. Personal watercraft owners…remember that you are operating a boat and must obey the same rules on the water as other powered vessels. We urge everybody who launches at Anchorage Park to request a vessel safety check by the Coast Guard Auxiliary examiners on duty at the park on weekends. The Village Public Safety Department will be offering its boating safety course for younger boaters this month. The Coast Guard Auxiliary will be offering the Coast Guard Boating Safety Program for adult boaters also. And everybody – Be courteous on the water and be sure to be safe. Your Police Department recently completed its on-site assessment by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and will be receiving final notification about our accreditation status in July. I would like to personally thank all of our citizens who called in by phone to the assessors or came to the public hearing that was held on April 21st. I was never more proud of this agency and its employees as I was that same evening, as I listened to the numerous examples of the great work that our police staff does on a daily basis. Thank you to each of you who took the time to atteen this meeting and for the many kind remarks that were made. Your Public Safety Department is fortunate to be able to serve such an outstanding and supportive community. Chief Stephen Canfield Want To Keep Your Children Safe? The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety, in conjunction with the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children, would like to extend an open invitation to all village residents to attend the 2nd annual “Operation Safe Kids” program at the Public Safety building (560 US Highway 1) on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. “Operation Safe Kids” is designed to provide education and awareness to parents and children together about preventable and dangerous situations. This program was established by the North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety in an effort to keep our communities “kids safe”. This assembly style presentation teaches children how to identify potential dangers, protect themselves from abuse, abduction and exploitation through a series of interactive scenarios. The presentation empowers children with the information, tools, and support they need to be safe, without frightening them. It teaches them how to use their instincts, intuition, and common sense to make smart choices, not scared reactions when confronted by danger. The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety will provide parents with a checklist of simple safety measures, deterrence strategies and solutions to minimize the chances of harm to their children. The information presented is designed to ignite conversation and interaction between parents and children regarding the dangers posed by abductors and molesters. It will also include a segment on internet safety presented by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety would like to encourage all residents to attend this powerful and informative presentation.
