Can’t you hear it? The Fat Lady is tuning up as the season draws to its finale. Even the angling clubs are staging their final few in-house competitions and hoping the weather holds for just long enough. The good conditions that held for most of the ...

As her guy friends hunted fish with knives and spears, Taylor Barit looked on wondering if she also had what it took to go for the kill. She decided she did. Within a week she had a fishing licence and a 10ft spear. Her first catch, off Shelly Bay S...

Where have all the anglers gone? It seems that they have just about all given up on the present season and turned to other things. The thought that Florence might visit did lead to a lot of boats being hauled out of the water and it is reasonable to ...

Boom, it is autumn and slowly but surely, the weather is on the change. Cold fronts have started to blow on through, bringing a bit of thunder and lightning, and showers that were certainly well needed by most tanks and gardens. Does this mean that s...

A woman swimmer was chased by a three-foot-long sucker fish for an hour in a bizarre game of tag that left her with a bite on her toe. Rachel Ann Garbett said the remora fish stalked her as she swam from a boat in the waters off Admiralty Park House ...
