<img class=" size-medium wp-image-3118 alignleft" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/snake1.jpg?w=300" alt="snake" width="300" height="240" />By Sue Cocking, Guy Harvey Outpost staff writer
Catching a python in the wild is no easy feat: sort of like trying to solve a large, difficult jigsaw puzzle and then having the puzzle board itself fight back --hard.
That's what the more than 300 participants who've signed up for the 2016 Python Challenge Jan. 16 through Feb. 14 are about to find out for themselves.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Wildlife Foundation of Florida will repeat the South Florida event first held in 2013 when nearly 1,600 participants took out only 68 snakes. But the low harvest came as no surprise to the wildlife agency and other snake experts. That's because Burmese pythons-- despite reaching sizes of more than 18 feet and numbering in the thousands in the South Florida woods--don't just jump out at you like an alligator might.
"The detection rate is very low," said environmental scientist Joe Wasilewski of Homestead, who's been tracking pythons and other reptiles in South Florida since the 1980s. "They're going to walk past them more than not. They could be right next to you and they just blend right in."
Wasilewski has some tips and advice for new and inexperienced python hunters hoping for a shot at winning $5,000 for top team or $3,500 for top individual in the 2016 Challenge:
o Pay careful attention during mandatory online and optional in-person training sessions being conducted by the FWC.
Wasilewski says it's especially important to learn to distinguish exotics like Burmese, rock and reticulated pythons from indigenous snakes.
"Don't be jumping on everything you see," he said. "Be careful and make sure you are grabbing the right snake."
Even experts, he said, sometimes have difficulty discerning a large rat snake (a harmless native species) from a small Burmese python. So study lots of pictures before your hunt so you can make a positive ID.
o Plan your hunt for areas bordering Everglades National Park.
The national park will be off-limits to all but a handful of state- and federally-permitted hunters. So try to hunt in the Southern Glades Wildlife and Environmental Area located between Homestead and the Keys, or in the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area adjacent to Tamiami Trail, Wasilewski suggested. The Rotenberger and Holey Land Wildlife Management Areas straddling western Broward and Palm Beach counties also should be productive, he said.
o Best hunting will be walking canal levees on sunny mornings following cool nights.
That's where the cold-blooded reptiles are likely to be out in the open, warming themselves, Wasilewski said. But if you don't spot them, poke the bushes with your snake hook; look for "sheds" ( the snake's sloughed skin); and check around rock piles and human debris such as old carpet or aluminum siding.
o If you are wrestling with a python and it bites your hand, do NOT try to pull away.
The python's teeth curve inward, causing severe injury if you try to yank your hand out of its jaws, Wasilewki said. The solution: rubbing alcohol.
"Pour it into their mouth and they let go," he said, citing personal experience.
The scientist doesn't expect a huge bounty of snakes to be taken in the Challenge, but says it's still a worthwhile endeavor because it raises awareness of a major environmental problem.
"They're literally eating their way through the Everglades," Wasilewski said. "They eat rats, mice, rabbits, raccoons, bobcats, birds and even full-grown gators. Definitely not a good thing to have in the Everglades."

AUGUSTINE BEACH, FL—NOVEMBER 17, 2015—Malcolm Berg and his award winning design firm E0A, Inc., have been selected to create the interior design of the new Guy Harvey Outpost Beach Resort, schedule to debut in the Spring of 2016. Formerly the Holiday Isle Resort, the 152-room property will feature the adventure lifestyle of Guy Harvey, a world renowned marine artist, documentarian, underwater explorer, marine scientist and conservation advocate.
The resort’s new design concept, according to Berg, “is about new discoveries, about finding the unexpected, about looking beneath the surface to find new perspectives.” Adds Mark Ellert, president of Outpost, “Malcolm is the new voice of design. He’s deconstructing traditional hospitality design, replacing it with the synthesis of art, architecture, technology and cultural narrative that we refer to as social design.”
The project scope entails a complete renovation, including the resort’s registration building, meeting spaces and the poolside bar. Berg said plans call for “lightening up the feeling of cramped compartmentalized public spaces, creating more connectivity to the outdoors and encouraging a carefree, respectful, nature-loving lifestyle as embodied by Guy Harvey.”
The Guy Harvey Outpost Beach Resort, St. Augustine Beach will join the company’s Signature Collection brand The other Guy Harvey Outpost Signature resorts are located in St. Pete Beach and Islamorada. The Guy Harvey Outpost Beach Resort St. Augustine is owned and managed by affiliates of Tampa based, HI Development. https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/celebrated-resorthospitality-designer-malcolm-berg-selected-for-guy-harvey-outpost-resort-st-augustine-beach-conversion/){kind=link}
![](mailto:?subject=Florida Chef Showcases Fishing and Fine Food on "Chopped"&body=<img class=" size-medium wp-image-2998 alignleft" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/chefa.jpg?w=300" alt="ChefA" width="300" height="287" />By Sue Cocking, Guy Harvey Outpost Staff Writer

When the Food Network's hit series "Chopped" premieres Dec. 3 at 8 p.m., four pastry chefs will compete to create sumptuous chocolate dishes for the host and judges. One of the contestants is Fort Lauderdale's Anthony Hunt, 39, corporate pastry chef for the Restaurant People group that operates popular eateries YOLO and S-3. But Hunt is unique--he's the only professional bass tournament angler ever featured on the show.
With the nickname "5oz" representing the margin by which he lost a tournament a few years back, Hunt is preparing to break into the bass fishing majors-- the Wal-Mart FLW Tour and the Bassmaster Elite Series-- in 2016. But he still keeps a foot in the kitchen and spends time with his four children aged 1-14.
"I'm working; I'm fishing. I'm pulled in 20 different directions," Hunt said.
With a high social media profile and Internet prominence on both angling and foodie sites, Hunt has been able to attract both fishing industry and non-endemic sponsors to further his tournament quest-- something that many would-be bass pros have had difficulty doing. He's as likely to get hits and 'likes' for promoting a chocolate maker as a plastic frog lure.
"No one's ever had a chef on board as pro staff," he said. "I can grab the two audiences at one time."
Hunt has been a professional chef for 15 years, but he has aspired to a professional bass fishing career since he was seven years old watching Larry Nixon catch the big ones on television.
The first step in his quest will be the FLW Rayovac Tournament on Lake Okeechobee in Clewiston January 14-16-- one of the qualifiers for the national tour.
To score a paycheck, he needs to spend a lot of prep time on the water.
"I approach it like a new lake every time I'm up there," he said of the 730-square mile Big O. "I go fishing like I've never been there before. I try to keep an open mind on what you're going to have to do to catch 'em. The 'home court' can hurt you."
Hunt is hoping for cold weather because he "fishes stronger" under those conditions. But he's ready for whatever.
Meanwhile, he's enjoying his time in the culinary spotlight on "Chopped".
"It's just awesome. I'm happy I made it," he said.
Now here's a delicious Chef Anthony recipe you WON'T see on the television show-- Swordfish Lollipops:
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. cleaned swordfish rectangles cut 1 inch by 2 inches
2 oz. chopped Italian parsley plus 1 tsp. kosher salt
2 oz. blackening seasoning
1 oz. ground fine black pepper, preferably dry table pepper, plus 1 tsp. kosher salt
3 tbsp. olive oil
8-inch skewers soaked for 1 hour in water
DIRECTIONS:
Skewer fish rectangles three quarters of the way into the flesh. Pat dry with paper towel. Roll the fish into each spice or herb to coat all sides. Sear fish in olive oil in a medium sauté pan on medium-high heat, flat sides down, for 30 seconds on each side or to desired done-ness. Remove from heat.
Slap on the sauce of your choice, such as homemade guacamole; lemon-garlic mayo; or classic sriracha.
EAT!

![](mailto:?subject=Take 10 Lionfish, Get an Extra Lobster During Sport Season&body=<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/lionfish-being-netted_359x479.jpg"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-2791 alignleft" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/lionfish-being-netted_359x479.jpg?w=225" alt="Lionfish-Being-Netted_359x479" width="225" height="300" /></a>At its June meeting in Sarasota, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved a new and exciting opportunity that will encourage divers to remove invasive lionfish by allowing them to take one extra spiny lobster each day during the two-day sport season this summer (July 29-30) that they also harvest 10 lionfish.
In addition, people can take a photo of their lionfish and lobster catch during the two-day season and post it on Facebook.com/LionfishReefRangers to get a “Be the Predator” T-shirt. One lucky photo entrant will also win a lifetime saltwater fishing license via a drawing held shortly after the sport season.
“The FWC operates in a culture of innovation. Opportunities like this are a great way to get divers who are already in the water accustomed to removing lionfish,” said Commissioner Brian Yablonski. “Our hope is that once lobster divers realize how easy it is to remove lionfish, they will continue to do so throughout the regular lobster season and beyond.”
Lionfish are invasive species that have a potential negative impact on Florida’s native wildlife and habitat. With no predators or other mechanisms such as disease or parasites keeping the lionfish population under control in Florida at this time, harvest by divers is the primary means of lionfish removal.
For the 2015 spiny lobster sport season only, divers will be allowed a single spiny lobster over the bag limit per dayfor each day that they also harvest 10 or more lionfish. Lionfish must be kept as proof of harvest while on the water. When off the water, a photo of harvesters with their 10 lionfish must be kept to document eligibility for harvesting an extra lobster. Lionfish must be harvested the same day and prior to taking the additional lobster. All other rules, including no spearfishing zones, apply.
The two-day spiny lobster recreational sport season (also known as mini-season) falls on the last Wednesday and Thursday of July each year before the Aug. 6 opening of the regular season. During this two-day season, the regular bag limit is six spiny lobster in state and federal waters of Biscayne National Park waters and off Monroe County, and 12 spiny lobster elsewhere. There is no bag limit for lionfish; harvesters can take as many as they want.
If the program is successful at encouraging lionfish removal, it could be continued in future years.

 is the newest member of <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/">Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts & Lodges' </a>Expedition Collection. The Ms B Haven, mother-ship & fleet are based in Panama City, Panama and available for charter in both the Caribbean and Pacific. “Panama is an adventure travel paradise and a destination without equal for world class sportfishing and island hopping," commented Guy Harvey Outpost President, Mark Ellert announcing the new partnership. “Instead of settling for a single location, this Outpost offers the best of all worlds - a fleet of rooms that can move around this amazing country. Whether it’s offshore big-game fishing in the Pacific, backcountry fishing along the Caribbean coast, exploring the Canal Zone, or discovering the remote and beautiful Pearl and San Blas Islands, there’s literally something of interest for everyone and PYFC Outpost can take you there.”

Fishing from a mother-ship allows you the freedom to fish legendary places like Pinas Bay and Hanibal Bank or explore the idyllic San Blas archipelago. The PYFC Outpost fleet includes a 98’ tri-deck motor yacht, two sportfishing boats – a 66’ Buddy Davis and 37’ Strike – and a flats skiff. The mother-ship carries a complement of water-toys, jet skis and a complete dive center.

Owned by a Florida based fishing enthusiast, the <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/beyond/panama-yacht-and-fishing-charter.html">Panama Yacht & Fishing Charters Outpost </a>is operated by South Africa native Hennie Marais, considered one of Panamas’ most respected sportfishing outfitters and lodge operators. “We have assembled a group of captains and crew to rival any tournament caliber sportfishing team you’ll find stateside”, notes Marais. “The Buddy Davis and Strike are equipped with all the best big-game tackle, and the mother-ship is our luxury lodge that is never far out of range when it’s time for lines-out.”
Panama native and seasoned sportfishing Captain Yasser “Jacko” Torres runs the Buddy Davis. Adds Marais, “experience and communication in the cockpit are essential to consistently catching big fish and having fun and PYFC Outpost has that covered. Jacko and his crew have all the requisite tournament credentials and are fluent in English, French and Russian, as well as Spanish, so anglers from all over the world will certainly enjoy their time with us.”
In commenting on the newest Expedition Collection property, Outpost co-founder and <a href="http://www.igfa.org/">IGFA</a> trustee Bill Shedd compared the new PYFC Outpost to long-range fishing operations common to southern California, where his company <a href="http://www.aftco.com/">AFTCO</a> is based. “While I’ve enjoyed many long range fishing trips, and you can always move around to find fish, they seldom have the space, amenities and comfort to bring along the family or business associates. Our new PYFC Outpost eliminates that problem, without question. Fish or fun, dive or sun. You decide, but its top-of-class”.
The PYFC Outpost fleet accommodates up to twelve guests and is available for three and six day charters, with customized float plans based on cruising or fishing preferences.

He is co-founder of the IGFA School of Sportfishing and has lectured on fishing techniques around the world through his <a href="http://www.saltwaterproconsulting.com/">Saltwater Professional Consulting</a>.
