Another weekend beckons and the question in every angler’s mind is whether or not the weather will allow for fishing. Certainly, the last few have not and it is getting rather late in the year to even be considering an offshore excursion. In fact, m...

Last Sunday sure wasn’t a day for wahoo fishing; especially not in a small boat! Conditions saw the Royal Gazette Wahoo Tournament postponed yet again with a small craft warning keeping much of the fleet at home. Leaving that aside, it really looks...

Enough already! The active Atlantic has already pretty well exhausted this island and its willingness to batten down hatches, add hurricane lines, shift moorings and otherwise ready oneself for what is called “the tropical season”. Perhaps one of th...

Decision made! It won’t be this weekend, that’s for sure. The RG Wahoo Tournament that is. A firm decision taken by the organisers in a most timely manner. Not that there will be too many who will be complaining. The amount of marine mayhem that to...

The doldrums are upon us! Not just the flat calm seas that are rolling on a long, lazy swell ­— these are described as “doldrums”, but also the lacklustre interest shown by most anglers with many shunning the heat and preferring to seek the solace of...

Almost done, now! All the big billfish tournaments are in the past and only the Bermuda Blue Marlin Release Challenge is to come. A tournament designed to attract lower-key participants, this is a single-day tournament and is based solely on release...

High summer and it is moving at a pace with July nearly upon us! It is well into the fishing season now and the tournaments are coming fast and furious. May and June are the month for the most traditional fishing with wahoo and tuna the primary targ...
