Ice Fishing the Mississippi River
The airboat's 650 h.p. Marine Power engine roared to life, its fan blades cutting through the frosty morning air as I, Captain Jarrad Fluekiger, secured the fishing gear. The Mississippi River stretched out before me, its mighty flow a mix of open water and frozen patches. It is a maze of opportunity for the adventurous angler.

Cedar Key Waterway Cleanup
If you’ve never had the chance to check out some of the small communities along our Gulf Coast I highly recommend it. Cedar Key is a little town that’s off the beaten path, but one of the neatest little towns there is. Prior to this past hurricane season, you could take a ride out to the coast and hang out at some of the local spots and eat right on the water or enjoy a beautiful sunset watching the dolphins frolic in the water right in front of your table on one of the many outdoor decks along the boardwalk area.

Removing Invasive Species in Florida Iguana Hunting
I was born in Coral Gables and moved to North Florida, specifically Live Oak, when I was around 8 years old. Growing up, I spent countless hours on the Suwannee River, Santa Fe River, and Ichetucknee Springs. I have always had a deep love for the outdoors. As a teenager, weekend trips to Steinhatchee or Horseshoe Beach for fishing were a regular occurrence.

United Sportsmen Airboaters Alliance New Years Day Cookout
Today's (January 1, 2025) adventure to the annual United Sportsmen Airboaters Alliance proved one thing, the spirit of past USAA president, Jerry Wetherington, is alive and well. Jerry led the USAA for many years and this New Years Day event was always his favorite. It was not just the great food, or the promise of starting a new year of airboating, but the gathering of so many club members who had become his extended family. This cookout for the club members was just a little way for the club to enjoy and give back to the members who support the many functions of the USAA. Many club event fund raising efforts are donated to area community projects including organizations like the Ronald McDonald House for Children, the local fire department and others.
