Steady breezes and a building sea were enough to force a postponement of the 2019 BFCAT tournament last Sunday. The alternate is not this weekend which, if it had been, would have caused all kinds of upheaval, it being Mother’s Day. Instead, it is s...

What a glorious week this has been! All tied up with work on land while the ocean beckons with near-flat calm seas and sunny skies — very poor planning. One should have known better because by all indications spring came early this year and now the ...

We’re back! And how did you spend your free time this winter? Visiting the gym, watching football, NFL, binge watching, house chores? Bet it wasn’t fishing and that is probably what you should have been doing. For one, the weather was not all that aw...

And herewith endeth the season; for most, at least, with the tropical season finally winding down and the water temperature dropping below the threshold at which such systems can strengthen. Although hurricanes and tropical storms will no longer be o...

With most of the year now a matter of history, the penultimate month of 2018 will be angling’s last stand before the winter sets in and other avocations take priority. If the weather holds, there may be opportunities for forays off on to the briny an...

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...

It was with some trepidation that the organisers awaited the dawn on Sunday. Florence fears were abounding, and many boat owners had decided to be proactive and to remove their various craft from the water, concluding this year’s boating season. Stil...
