Well, the weather certainly isn't helping the weekender and the year's sport fishing is rapidly drawing to a close. Part of the problem is that the sportsman is limited to which days he or she is free to fish. Add in the increasing pressures arising ...

Where, oh, where have all the fishermen gone could be a lament of the time. The recent downturn in activity seems to have dissuaded amateurs from even attempting to try their luck offshore and the shift to lobstering by commercial operators has helpe...

Even the grizzled old salts have trouble remembering a year that seems so bereft of fish. While there are a few reports of wahoo and tuna being caught, most of the effort seems to be directed at bottom species and many commercial operators are really...
