Introducing The Quiet Kat Off Road Electric Bike

St Augustine Marina is thrilled to offer the Quiet Kat all-terrain electric bike and we can’t imagine another vehicle perfect for navigating the historic coastal byway, zipping down the sidewalks and side streets of downtown, and cruising the beach when you aren’t taking this fat tire e-bike off road in the country.

If it surprises you that we carry a few of these at all times, it shouldn’t. Quiet Kat is known for dependable, off-road electric bikes with all the features you would want for your next hunting and fishing trip. We also carry accessories and parts to maintain your QuietKat and other electric bike modes if you have already made your purchase.

Electric bikes are obviously not for everyone. They do not have fuel capacity like a dirt bike. Instead, the battery is charged by pedaling the bike. The more you pedal, the more downtime you can have on a single charge.

In addition to the model shown here, St. Augustine Marina has access to the full catalogue of QuietKat fat tire e-bikes, parts, accessories, and models. We will be more than happy to get you set up with the perfect fat tire e-bike for your purposes, confidence, and budget the next time you stop by our store. Ask one of our staff to assist you with a viewing of what is currently available in the back.

Features and Benefits

QuietKat redefines outdoor adventures with its umatched lifetime frame warranty,  impressive battery capacity, and robust motor designed to conquer even the steepest inclines with ease and minimal effort.

Proudly crafted in the USA in Irvine, California, the QuietKat outshines traditional dirt bikes and ATVs by offering greater versatility and a friendlier price point. Its lightweight aluminum frame design ensures that anyone can ride it comfortably—if you can pedal a bike, you can master an electric bike.

If you’ve been eyeing an off-road vehicle to traverse your preferred hunting spots, ranges, and game trails, your search ends here.

With attractive financing options available, you can start your journey now and pay later.  Come in our store with your pre-approval and we will get you squared away!

In addition to what we mentioned before, electric bikes don’t require DMV registration in the state of Florida nor special licensing, making them accessible to anyone aged 16 and older.

For younger riders, we offer covered wagon attachments and trailers at St. Augustine Marina for family adventures with an adult behind the wheel. As fishing and boating season winds down and autumn and winter hunting seasons approach in northeast Florida, consider the benefits of exploring rugged terrain on an electric bike equipped with off-road tires and a GPS navigation system that tracks distance and battery life, ensuring you have everything you need to reach your destination—perhaps just an added light for those nighttime excursions.

Did we mention they offer a 15 day trial period for new purchases?

Other Options For Catching Shrimp

If you’re new to throwing a cast net, don’t worry—there are plenty of alternatives you can explore, and you might even have a dip net ready to go.

If you own a boat, this can be a great option. After anchoring in a prime spot, set up a lantern, spotlight, or other light source at the bow, and wait for the telltale reflection of the shrimp’s eyes signaling the perfect moment to dip your net and catch them as they drift downstream.

You can also consider push nets attached to a pole for dredging the bottom while wading, haul or beach seines that are less than 500 feet long, and frame nets with openings not exceeding 16 feet. While traps require more regulation, they can be quite effective, especially when enhanced with bits of cheap processed meat or even dog / cat food. 

Additionally, using poles to bait shrimp is an option, but be sure to check FWC regulations regarding the number you can deploy and the necessary markings for compliance.

Keep in mind that the rules around nets and traps vary, and obtaining a saltwater recreational license is essential for enjoying the season.

Where and When

Shrimp are more active at night and particularly respond to the full moon. You will want to plan your shrimping trip based on your preferred method of catch and

The locals tend to have the best luck recrationally shrimping on the St. John’s River, particularly under or near the Shands Bridge or the nearby pier, but shrimp can be located downstream on the St. John’s River at virtually any point.

Looking to learn how to throw a cast net? There are many videos on Youtube and the web in general that can teach you step by step, but you may even get the opportunity to learn by watching others throughout the season. Perhaps even make a new friend or two on your shrimping adventures!

Scent Jammer, St. Augustine Marina, Product Recommendation, Bow Center

Attract What You DO Want

A deer’s sense of smell is estimated to be about 1,000 times better than ours as humans, so if you find that you aren’t seeing as many around as you would hope the next time you go hunting then this next one was picked just for you.

It won’t make you smell better if you generally smell awful, however, but it will mask your pheromones which could be repelling game.

Scent Killer and Nose Jammer make a variety of products for removing the natural pheromones that make up the human stench, including aerosols, oils, and even laundry detergent.

Wildlife Research Center makes Scent Killer, which is well known for the efficacy of these products. You would use this similarly to doe pheromones used to attract bucks, but for the opposite purpose.

We sell a variety of these products at St. Augustine Marina starting at around $10 a bottle and up. We recommend using this product in conjunction with a pheromone scent to enhance its attraction ability.

Thermocell, Mosquito Repellent, St. Augustine Florida, Archery Gear, Supplies

Repel What You Don't Want

If you are considering coming to Florida and spending any amount of time outdoors for any reason (save for offshore fishing in the intercoastal or Atlanic), you’re going to want to protect yourself from the many critters that will inevitably cause you much pain and suffering. 

Thermacell is not like the mosquito repellents in aerosol cans you can purchase at any grocery store.

The creators of this product have combined the use of a dispersion fan and atomizer with rechargeable lithium ion batteries in all their units, sort of like the way an automatic or timer based air freshener works. The units can also be powered using fuel.

The active pest repellant in Thermacell is a synthetic form of allethrin which is found naturally in Chrysanthemum flowers and has proven its capacity for repelling mosquitos in lab studies. The product is EPA approved and independently tested to be safe for humans and pets, provided the user has known allergy to allethrin.

We recommend going to the manufacturer’s website and trying the nifty product finder tool which find the best Thermacell product for you based on how you plan to use it.

Unlike citronella based products and others that claim to be environmentally safe, Thermacell has been field tested by our own staff and patrons where it has proven its efficacy in the field time and time again, making it worth the price.

You can purchase Thermacell at St. Augustine Marina starting at around $35 for a personal unit that can be refilled and used each time you find yourself wandering mosquito infested areas. We carry units for personal and area use as well as accessories such as belt clips (also recommended.)

You may also purchase Thermacell directly from their website.

 

Broadheads, St. Augustine Marina, Dead Meat, Mechanical Broadheads, Archery, Bow Center, Bow Hunting Gear

The Right Tools For The Job

Broadheads. We mentioned them before when we announced that Deer Season was coming up, but we didn’t elaborate too much on what you would want to grab from this section for the hunt.

This may be a common sense recommendation to some – kind of like saying ‘don’t forget to pack your bow’ – but if this is your first deer hunt or first time out in the field and not on the range, you will find that having the right broadheads equipped for the type of game you are hunting is the key to securing the kill.

 St. Augustine Marina carries many different types and brands of broadheads in our Bow Center, but for deer season, you will probably be looking at mechanical broadheads like those shown above. To be fair, some may still prefer using fixed broadheads or removable blades as it often comes down to what you have experience using and are comfortable with.

Luckily for you, Outdoor Life has tested various brands and types of broadheads out on the field.

Each was tested for accuracy, durability, sharpness, wound channel, and potential penetration to give you the best idea of what to expect from each and how you can integrate this into your kit. 

We carry these brands and others here in our Bow Center and the higher-end mechanical broadheads will cost you around $50-$70 for a pack of 3.

Our staff will help you mount these to arrow shafts if you would like and also have several pre-assembled arrows available for purchase ready to go.
