Boat Safety Essentials, Sea Tow Stories, and Real-Life Rescue Lessons
This week on the Northwest Florida Fishing Report, we’re shifting gears from rods and reels to one of the most important topics on the water—boating safety. Captain Walt Bohn joins the show to share critical insights from his decades of experience as a firefighter, dive team member, port safety manager, and now Sea Tow captain in Central New Jersey.
Captain Bohn walks us through what it really means to be prepared before leaving the dock—whether you’re trailering a skiff or running offshore in a center console. From essential gear like radios and life jackets to dewatering tools and float plans, this episode dives into the must-haves and the mindset that can save lives. Packed with real-world stories, sharp advice, and a heavy dose of humility, it’s a must-listen for every Gulf Coast boater.
