If homeowners learned nothing elseover the past five years, it’s this: Do notspend more on your home than you canget in return.

Matthew and Laura Kieselbach ofDeltona emailed their Realtor, KathyAparo-Griffin, Aparo-Griffin Propertiesin DeLand, in February. They had decid-ed to put their home on the market, buthad reservations about doing so beforethey could finish some projects.

Mr. Kieselbach wanted to completethe custom closet he’d started. Therewas a second bathroom begging forupdates.

The Kieselbachs were overwhelmed. Ms. Aparo-Griffin did not get to be

number one in West Volusia real estatesales by dallying. She advised her clientsto move forward.

“I told them if they waited until Marchto list the home, all of the people comingthrough now would be under contractby the time theirs was on the market,”Ms. Aparo-Griffin said.

She gave the Kieselbachs a to-do list

and a deadline.“They don’t think they’ll make the

deadline,” she said laughing.But Ms. Aparo-Griffin has faith in her

clients. Her confidence and unsur-passed energy level would reassure themost skeptical sellers and buyers.

Recently she was invited into the WestVolusia Realtor Association’s Circle ofExcellence. Each member must havesold at least $2.5 million that year, pay afee to join the circle; that fee coversadvertising, a paper weight and logousage, she said.

The real value for her and her clients isthe fact that in a down market, Ms.Aparo-Griffin managed to sell over $11million in real estate last year.

In 2010, she sold over $10 million.When the market was at its peak in 2005,she was right in step, selling nearly $16million in residential and commercialproperties.

Her success is attributable to severalthings. She never stops moving. She isknowledgeable and practical. Mostimportantly, she really cares about peo-

ple.“You have to be willing to put the cus-

tomer first,” Ms. Aparo-Griffin said. “Aton of Realtors don’t want to deal withshort sales. I will spend a year workingon a $7,000 trailer in Lake Countybecause it’s important to the cus-tomers.”

She said there’s a human componentto moving real estate, and if that aspectis top priority, word gets around.

“You’ve got to do the right thing,” shesaid. “I tell everyone in here that.”

The advice Ms. Aparo-Griffin mostfrequently dispenses to sellers is thatpeople are visual and want things tolook pretty.

“The biggest improvements peoplecan make are kitchens,” she said.“They’re a big deal. But you don’t wantto go overboard with things like indus-trial refrigerators and huge commercial-grade hood vents in the average three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,400-square-foothome.”

She said maple cabinetry, brushed-nickel knobs and fixtures as well asearth-tone granite will effectively over-haul a kitchen.

Other cosmetic fixes like paint, floor-ing and simple landscaping make a hugedifference in public perception, Ms.Aparo-Griffin said.

A fresh coat of paint is her first suggest-ed remedy for a tired property becauseit’s inexpensive and adds a “fresh smelland clean look.”

“These things make one property, overanother, more sellable,” she said. “It’s notthat it’s going to be worth more — there’snot a lot of worth in fresh paint from anappraiser’s point of view — but it’s goingto sell faster.”

She said just as a detailed car will notchange the Kelley Blue Book value, theclean car will likely sell faster than acomparable car that’s dirty.

Minor staging — things placed inproper positions — is another thinghomeowners can do without spending a

dime, she said.“Clear off those countertops. Shove it

all in a drawer or cabinet, but get it outof sight,” she said.

Like fresh paint, carpet cleaning is anaffordable way to gain a potentialbuyer’s positive perception of the home.

One of the Realtors at Aparo-Griffinrecently listed a house. When it hadbeen on the market for nearly twoweeks and hadn’t sold, Ms. Aparo-Grif-fin went to look at it. She’s not accus-tomed to inventory sitting around.

“I wasn’t in there five seconds beforeseeing it needed flooring and coveringover a window exposing a big mound ofdirt. The green carpet and burgundycurtains had to go,” she said. “Within aweek of making some minor changes,like adding blinds cracked just a little tolet in the light, we got a contract andseveral back up buyers.”

And with regard to flooring: “Oneconsistent flooring works well. It flows,”Ms. Aparo-Griffin said.

For low-cost landscaping upgrades,

she said red mulch and floweringshrubs like hibiscus yield incrediblecurb appeal.

Things that seem like hindrances and

obstacles aren’t, necessarily.“Mr. Kieselbach is a super duper car-

penter,” she said. “There was a planterin the house, filled with toys. A lot of

people might associate problems withremoving it, but I told him to build it up

as a table. It’ll cost him a couple bucksto do, but it’ll make a nice little usefultable, a knick-knack table, when youwalk into the house.”

According to an HGTV report citingremodelingmagazine.com, it’s lesslikely homeowners will recoup theirinvestment in a major kitchen orbathroom remodel than it is they willrecapture money spent on basic homemaintenance, such as new siding. Sid-ing replacement regained 92.8 percentof its cost, according to the study. Theonly home improvement apt to handback more at resale was a minor —around $15,000 — kitchen remodel,which returned 92.9 percent. Replac-ing roofs and windows also were highon the list, returning 80 percent ormore at resale.

Licensed plumber Chip Ferranteand his wife, Mary, like to amusethemselves while driving to dinner.That’s when they play “the power billgame.” Mrs. Ferrante will tell Mr. Fer-

rante to “guess how much this month’spower bill is.” He’ll play but not duringthe summer months. He said thegame is way too stressful then.

Mr. Ferrante works for Elder Plumb-ing in DeBary. He and master plumberEarl Elder work all over Central Flori-da. Their jobs range from replacingfaucets to complete gutting andrestoration of kitchens and baths, andbeyond. Years of experience havetaught these men what constitute sen-sible and valuable home improve-ments. Recently, they’ve been workingon a lot of foreclosed properties,replacing fixtures — even copperpipes — that have been removed fromthe homes.

“As silly as it sounds, clean up first,”Mr. Ferrante said. “Then see what’s anabsolute, what has to be done.”

Mr. Ferrante, who owns severalrental units, recommends replacinganything that consumes excessamounts of energy — switching oldertoilets to the newer, low consumption,models as well as changing out olderfaucets and shower heads to thosewith water saver features.

“Whatever you can do to get the

biggest bang for the money you’reputting out,” he said. “Keep the samecabinet and put a new top on it.Change the faucet. Take the old tuband shower trim off and replace it. Re-grout the tile. That gives you a nice,new look at a low cost.”

And, for those who want to play the“power bill game” even during thesummer months, Mr. Ferrante saidswapping older appliances for newerones will conserve energy.

“If you replace a 10-year-old A/C,that’s $75-$100 off your power billright now,” he said. “We knockedabout $100 a month off of our powerbill when we got a new fridge and anew A/C.” That piece attached to thebottom of the refrigerator?

It’s removable for a reason. It shouldbe taken off and vacuumed behind ona regular basis, pets or no pets, Mr.Ferrante said.

“It would blow your mind howmuch it costs in electricity when that’sclogged (with particles),” he said.

To avoid clogs and back-up prob-lems with septic systems, Mr. Ferrantesaid to keep in mind the need forhealthy organisms living there. He

suggests a regimen using inexpensiveFleischmann’s yeast to keep bacteriaactivated and doing its job breakingdown septic tank contents.

“Whatever you do, don’t kill the bac-teria with bleach,” he said.

Overall, it boils down to upkeep. “The greatest things to improve a

home … fix missing grout, re-caulk,keep appliances and fixtures cleanand updated and you’ll always feellike you have a new home,” Mr. Fer-rante said.

You can go greenby using less water

Competitive neighbors are likelygearing up, plotting, scheming — curs-ing watering restrictions. After all, isn’tit true that he who dies with the green-est grass wins?

Some will comply. Others, no matterhow law abiding, may rebel in the nameof sweet verdancy.

Daylight Saving Time began the sec-ond Sunday in March.

The rules, according to Volusia Coun-ty, are as follows:

— Residential irrigation is allowed atodd number addresses from 4 p.m. to10 a.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays andeven number addresses Thursdays andSundays.

— Businesses may irrigate from 4p.m. to 10 a.m. Tuesdays and Fridays.

— Watering is not allowed between10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

For decades Floridians have beenwarned: water is not in endless supply.

Groundwater is the source of drink-ing water for 90 percent of Florida resi-dents. Public water supply use hasincreased 134 percent since 1970,according to the Southern RegionalWater Program’s website. Two major aquifer systems under Flori-da supply most of the state’s water. TheFloridan aquifer is the largest anddeepest in the state, stretching for82,000 square miles beneath Florida,parts of Alabama, Georgia and SouthCarolina. The Biscayne runs beneathsouth Florida.

Millions of years of skeletal pileup inthe sea created limestone hundreds —in some places thousands — of feetthick. Appalachian Mountain erosiondeposited sand and clay over the lime-stone’s surface.

The porous limestone gradually gaveway to the water’s persistent glide,forming cracks and passageways andyielding underground areas, whichhold large amounts of water —aquifers.

When groundwater in the aquifer isplaced under enough pressure fromconstraining sediments, it eventuallypushes through the surface. The resultin Florida: hundreds of springs bur-geoning crystal clear, temperate water

— so many billion gallons that itseemed there would always be enough.

But years of unrestrained growth inthe state has put water supplies in seri-ous jeopardy. Decades of pumpingfrom the aquifer to supply increasingnumbers of wells and irrigation foragricultural concerns have begun todeplete groundwater resources. Cur-rent-slowing algae and fast-growingnon-native plants are choking springs.

Dry conditions make it difficult toreplenish the underground reservoirs,and many surface water sources aredrying up, as well.

Tom Mirti, the bureau chief for the St.Johns River Water Management Dis-trict’s Bureau of Water Resource Infor-mation said it’s hard to say whether ornot there’s a drought at hand.

“It’s not just water levels or rainfall,but an assessment of how they gotogether,” he said. “Volusia, of all or partof the 18 counties in the district, has thelargest rainfall deficit right now.”

Mr. Mirti said at 10.5 inches behindas of the first part of February, Volusialags in rainfall by 19.5 percent.

“We’re pretty far behind, but not asfar behind as we were last year, beforeTropical Storm Beryl and TropicalStorm Debbie, when we were 12.5 inch-es behind,” he said.

Mr. Mirti dismissed the notion thatconcrete stymies evaporation, callingthe theory a myth. He said weathertrends such as La Niña and El Niño,“things of a global nature” are biggerplayers in Florida when it comes tounusually dry (or wet) conditions.

Courtesy of the Hanrahan FamilyBarbara Hanrahan could really use more water for her butterfly gardenso the caterpillar she’s holding will survive after it comes out of itscocoon. With a drought continuing, many Volusia County homeownersare finding it difficult to maintain their landscape. Her small rock pondprovides water for the butterflies as well as her cat.

been planted with butterflies in mind. Butterfly gardens are easy to con-

struct, require little water once estab-lished, and need no fertilizers, accord-ing to theconservationfoundation.org.

A dry river bed comprised of natural-looking and inexpensive river jackrocks in one corner of Ms. Hanrahan’syard evokes a “Zen-like feeling” whileeliminating the need for thirsty grassthere. She said it provides excellentdrainage when needed. Excess water isdiverted to other areas to be utilized byplants and grass.

“Not only is it very pretty, but it servesa purpose,” Ms. Hanrahan said. “Whilewe’ve been dry lately that is the areathat will flood when it rains a lot. Whenthe rock is wet it’s just beautiful.”

Her next step: a rain barrel. Both Volusia County and the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency rec-ommend the use of rain barrels wherethey are legal.

This system collects rainwater from

roofs that would otherwise be lost asrunoff.

DeLand Ace Hardware manager GregMetz said rain barrels may be orderedthrough the store for $80 to $140,“depending on how fancy you want it tolook.”

But, he said, they are simple to con-struct. A 55 gallon drum with a holedrilled for the hose bib, sealed with sili-cone following bib installation, and ahose attached to the bib will completethe task.

“You just cut the gutter at the heightof the rain barrel,” Mr. Metz said. “Somepeople cut a hole in the lid (of the 55gallon drum) and place a mesh screenthere to filter out the debris.”

Mr. Metz, who transferred to theDeLand Ace store from Sanford, saidthere are fewer requests for rain barrelshere than in Seminole County.

“We had a lot of requests for ordersthere,” he said.

Rain barrels reduce water bills. Gar-den and lawn irrigation accounts for 40percent of residential water use duringthe summer, according to the EPA. By

using rain barrels, homeowners cansave 1,300 gallons of water during thegrowing season.

In some U.S. states and localities theuse of these water receptacles is illegalbecause water that collects in rain bar-rels does not flow into streams andrivers where it may be needed.

DeBary Nursery owners Beverly andDoug McCain advertise “native plants”on the sign in front of their business.Ms. McCain is a wealth of informationwhen it comes to all things green.

She said while it’s always good to gowith as many native species as possi-ble, because they are more insectresistant and drought tolerant, it’s notimperative.

“A good alternative to grass isgroundcover,” Ms. McCain said. “Themost popular are the mimosa, Asiaticjasmine and the perennial peanut.”

The perennial peanut is used inhighway medians and is a more vigor-ous grower than some other types ofgroundcover, she said.

The mimosa strigillosa is native to

Florida and extremely drought toler-ant, very aggressive and fast growingwith “pretty powder puff pink blooms.”

“Groundcovers grow so thick thatthey choke out the weeds,” she added.

Ms. McCain said Bermuda grass isthe most drought-tolerant, butrequires frequent mowing or it will lookbrown.

Bahia, she said, is probably the mostdesirable for homeowners because it islow maintenance and also drought tol-erant.

Another is Empire Zoysia, which, Ms.McCain said, “grows very lush andthick,” presents fewer weed problems,and is more drought tolerant than St.Augustine grass.

“With any lawn you should have irri-gation, because when grass getsstressed, it will get sparse and that’swhen weeds come in,” she said. “Dripirrigation is good.”

Drip, or trickle, irrigation deliverswater and nutrients in a slow, localizedmanner to the soil or root zone througha system of valves, pipes, tubes andemitters. Drip systems usually operateat lower pressure than other pressur-

ized systems, reducing energy con-sumption and minimizing soil erosionand weed growth.

Ms. McCain also is a proponent ofxeriscaping, but she cautions her cus-tomers who live in subdivisions tocheck the rules.

“Some subdivisions won’t let home-owners go totally xeriscape,” she said.“Some require a certain percentage ofgrass.”

Xeriscaping is a style of landscapedesign requiring little or no irrigationor other maintenance, used in aridregions. There is no particular roadmap when it comes to this type ofplanting. Homeowners can get as cre-ative as they want, embracing the ideaof an oasis.

The intent of xeriscaping is to con-serve water by using native and aridadapted plants to create beautifullandscapes and wildlife habitats.

Talking with a professional like Ms.McCain will make xeriscaping anadventure in creativity and conserva-tion.

Another watering option is greywa-ter, from bathroom sinks, showers,tubs, and washing machines.

According to greywateraction.org:“Greywater may contain traces of

dirt, food, grease, hair and certainhousehold cleaning products. Whilegrey water may look ‘dirty,’ it is a safeand even beneficial source of irrigationwater in a yard. There are many simple,

economical ways to reuse grey water inthe landscape.”

This is a hot place for some coolboats, with Volusia County home tofour boat makers.

DeLand’s Mystic Boats makes theC5000R, which the company claims isthe world’s fastest offshore catama-ran.

“We do limited marketing andadvertising,” owner John Cosker said.“The name’s pretty much word ofmouth. When you get into the high-performance offshore market, it’s asmall community.”

The winner of the 2011 Lake of theOzarks Shootout Top Gun Trophyclaims a satellite-tracked speed of

223 mph. The 50-foot boat comes in apleasure model with seats for six toeight, too — the C5000S. Don’t expectto find either one at a local boatretailer.

“When someone is up to our boats,they’re a pretty educated buyer andseek us out,” Mr. Cosker said. “There’sonly a handful of companies thatbuild boats like we do.”

With an entry price of about$800,000 for a Mystic, it seems likelythat not many are used for familyfishing. The company’s 15 workersbuild boats to order, and make about15 to 20 a year.

marketing manager at EdgeWaterPower Boats in Edgewater, has a dif-ferent customer.

“We just introduced a new model ofcrossover called the 280CX,” he said.

So far, it’s getting a warm reception.EdgeWater officially rolled out the280CX at the New York National BoatShow in January.

“It’s meant to do a number of differ-ent things in it, and that’s what’s pop-ular,” Mr. Orlando said. “Today peo-ple are doing multiple things withproducts.”

The company has built six so far,and sold two. “The Fisherman” maga-zine called the 280CX “the queen of(The EdgeWater folks) crossoverfleet.”

Getting into an EdgeWater boatcosts $20,000 to $450,000. The com-pany has about 20 models and makes

about 350 boats a year. About 100people work at EdgeWater.

“We have about 30 domestic dealersand worldwide 45 to 50,” Mr. Orlandosaid.

Atlantic Marine in Port Orange is arecent addition to the company’sdealer lineup. Another company inthe Southeast Volusia city of Edgewa-ter is Everglades Boats. Bryan Harris,vice president of sales and marketing,said the company is proud of its latestoffering, the 355T.

“We’ve been building it for awhile,but we just redesigned it,” he said. “It’sour first tournament boat. It’s forhardcore tournament fishing. Werolled it out at the Fort LauderdaleBoat show last October.”

The company combines fishing andluxury with boats that run $95,000 toabout $500,000.

The company has 35 dealers inNorth America, and a few interna-tional ones. The closest is BoatersExchange in Rockledge. Evergladeshas about 140 workers.

“We plan to build about 300 boatsthis year,” Mr. Harris said.

All three companies said that whileno one’s willing to say everything’sgoing to be smooth sailing this year,the waters have been getting betterfor boat makers lately. The economiccrash in 2008 sank sales for a coupleyears.

“It was very busy to 2007, then thebottom fell out,” Mr. Cosker said. “Itwasn’t a slow down, it was shut off.Interest is much better now. I’ve gotmore deals on the table now than thelast few years.”

Same story at EdgeWater. “The marketplace turned in 2010,”

Mr. Orlando said. “Things have been

pretty positive since 2010. We’re verypleased in what we see in our salesfor 2013 so far.”

Everglades, too, feels like the indus-try is getting out of the swamp.

“Things are looking up for all of us,”Mr. Harris said.

Also in Volusia is Boston Whaler.The company couldn’t respond torequests for an interview by presstime.

So, why is Volusia a big boat-mak-ing town? There’re a lot of reasons,Mr. Orlando said. Plenty of differentwater types are around for producttesting, for one. Proximity to Inter-state 95 is another. And, he said, thearea has quality workers with aninterest in boating.

“It’s the versatility of the workforceand central location among thevenders,” Mr. Orlando said.

Butcher’s offers a hugevariety of plants and theowner knows them all

DAYTONA BEACH — It’s spring andmany of us are thinking about beauti-fying our homes and yards.

Winter here isn’t as cold and drearyas up North, but when spring comes,we still need to prune and plant,maybe adding new color and freshannuals.

At Butcher’s Nursery in DaytonaBeach, the ad says, “Is your yard amess? Don’t stress.”

The only stress when visiting theirexpansive location at the DaytonaBeach Flea and Farmers Market onTomoka Farms Road is deciding whichof the hundreds of flowers, vegetables,shrubs, trees and fertilizer to buy.

Owner Mike Butcher said he keepshis prices lower than the area’s big boxstores as an added incentive for hiscustomers.

A new customer, Terri Parsons ofDaytona Beach, was ordering Red Ruf-fle dwarf azaleas for her beachsidehome.

She also ordered white plumbagosthat bloom three to four times a year,Mr. Butcher said.

“That’s why I ordered them,” shesaid.

Mike Butcher grew up in the busi-ness. The 56-year-old nurseryman hasbeen at the flea market for 23 years.

“I was born and raised in this busi-ness” that started with his dad at JimButcher’s nursery on 15th Street inHolly Hill.

“We’re the best in the area,” he said,not bragging as hundreds of flowers,shrubs and trees surrounding him areevidence of his success.

Many of the area’s cities purchasenursery items from Butcher’s, includ-ing Daytona Beach.

Tony Maggio, a maintenance super-visor for the city, was at the nurseryrecently buying Indian Hawthorne juststarting to bloom.

South Daytona, Holly Hill and othercities also shop at his business, Mr.Butcher said.

The best thing about buying atButcher’s is Mike’s vast knowledgeabout anything that grows.

You live on the beachside, you needsalt tolerant plants.

You like palm trees, he recommendspalm tree fertilizer.

You have a leaf or blossom from anunfamiliar plant, “I can tell you what itis. I don’t have to look it up in a book,”Mr. Butcher said.

His staff also is very knowledgeable,including his daughter, Julie, who doesestimating and also planting.

“I was born in the business. He wasmy classroom,” she said when asked ifshe took horticulture courses.

His wife, Janet, also helps with thebusiness.

“She is the force behind me,” hesaid.

While the nursery was hit hard bythe Great Recession, “sales went down60-70 percent,” he said he doesn’t see itcoming back anytime soon.

But this time of the year, and again infall, business is booming. That’s whenhe needs his experienced help.

Employees, such as Cory Kunkel,have been with him 10 years or more.

“I’m constantly learning,” Mr.Kunkel said, both from his boss andthe customers, many who come fromoutside the county to shop.

Rick and Sherry Sabal drove fromPalm Coast to buy jalapenos and palmtree fertilizer. Mr. Sabal said he plantsthe peppers between bushes in hisyard.

“I can’t grow tomatoes there becausethe raccoons get them,” he said.

Mr. Butcher holds court with thecustomers and employees, dispensingadvice and also listing what plants arein stock, what is on order, and what hecan get to the nursery in a day or two— all without paper or computer.

He told one customer holding a leafthat he would have more star dust cro-tons coming in a couple of days fromHomestead.

“Every plant I have is grown in Flori-da,” he said. “We don’t ship in anything

customers have won their city’s beauti-fication awards.

He also helps out in the community. “I rebuilt the Hurst School play-

ground. Then I had the kids write lettersto Santa and arranged for Santa to landin a helicopter. It made me feel good,”he said.

He also likes to inform his customers,with handouts available on citrus andother plants.

“I am a handout,” he joked, with thevast amount of information he can dis-pense on his trees, plants, shrubs andflowers.

“I sell plants and trees from 4 inch to200 gallons,” he said. They plant thelarger trees with tractors.

“Whatever nursery item is popular, Ihave it or can get it,” he said.

With the arrival of spring, I couldsay it is time to get out of the housewhere we fishermen were trapped allwinter, but with the months justpassed being so mild that would notreally fly. Still, even though our sea-sonal change may be subtle, there is adefinite effect on area fishing.

In West Volusia County, springmeans blue gill and shell crackers. Ifyou are new to Central Florida, youmay not have experienced our typesof perch from the freshwater sunfishfamily. These big, fat and strong bluegill may be so large they look asthough they may have been swim-ming too near a nuclear plant. At thistime of year those tasty critters are onthe bed all across the lakes that feedthe St. Johns River. Some of the oldtimers swear they can locate thosebeds by sniffing them out, but if yournose is not quite so educated all youneed do is look for a cluster of boats.

The shell crackers bed up in a verytight space and that calls for closequarters fishing. Some years back mybuddy, the late Andy Anderson, and Iwere on a bed in Lake Jessup alongwith six other boats. We had anchoredin a circle and were pitching to thecenter to catch fat perch. We werejoined by another fisherman, aneight-foot alligator that would try tograb each fish as we reeled it to theboat. “Look out, he’s after yours,” wasthe warning cry. All of us caught alimit and the alligator did pretty well,too.

At Lake Monroe, the sea wall alongthe highway at Sanford is anotherfavorite place to catch the big bluegill. There you fish a worm on the bot-tom and some are tempted to lay therod down on the wall. These are notthe types of blue gill that make a bob-ber dance. When they hit, they canpull that rod and reel into the lake.Each time I fish there I am likely tocatch a rod or pole that has sufferedthat fate. Lake Woodruff and LakeGeorge near Pine Island are two morehot spots for this type of spring fish-ing.

As soon as the water warms just abit, I am bound to get in. Although Ienjoy boating, my real fun is wadefishing. At Ponce Inlet, go to the southside of Jetty Park and wade the clearwaters off the dog area. There is agood hard bottom there and all sortsof fish can be caught. Blues, ladies,jacks and flounder will likely be thereand if luck is with you, a passingschool of Spanish mackerel can pro-vide lots of fun. Use artificial or natu-ral bait. These guys are not particular.

If you read this column regularly,you know my main wading target isthe flounder run that begins eachspring. Wade the west bank of theIndian or Halifax Rivers for thosetasty flatties. I prefer to use a jig, buthave caught them on plugs, spoons orstrips of mullet. Keeping the baitmoving is the secret to flounder wad-ing. Another good spot to wade isnear the old Coast Guard station atthe end of A1A in Canaveral NationalSeashore. There you will find spottedsea trout and the occasional red fishwilling to play.

Of course, when the weatherwarms, the beach is a great place tobe. Surf fishing for whiting and blue-fish will keep you busy until the fatred and black drum come along. Ifyou are on the beach during the mul-let migration, unfurl that cast net youreceived from Santa Claus and catcha cooler full. Great for frying or smok-ing, the mullet in the Atlantic aremuch cleaner and tastier than theriver mullet. A great place to wadeand surf fish is up at Matanzas Inletjust 15 miles or so north of FlaglerBeach. That clear water holds all sortsof pelagic species and once I caughtan eight pound bluefish there. Thatstill ranks as one of my all time

biggest. While the warm sun has still not

reached its sub-tropical intensity, youmight want to take the opportunity totry and neutralize the gray color yourskin has taken on over the winter.Take a rod and a chair to one of thearea fishing piers for sun and fun. SunGlow Pier just south of A1A at Dun-lawton Boulevard is a good place tocatch some sun and some dinner. Upat the Daytona Beach Main Street pierthere is good food and good fishingfor every sun worshipper. If you hap-pen to be there when the big mantarays pass under the pier, be sure tofish them for the tasty cobia that willbe tagging along. A Sea Hawk clothes-pin type lure is a good bait for that.

Well there you have a few of myfavorite springtime fishing spots. Ihope you will get out and give it a try.If you go, be sure to take a kid along.Have fun!
