Early memories - trout Judging by the family photos I caught my first trout at the tender age of four years, although contrary to the experiences of my colleagues, I have no recollection of that momentous event. My memories seem to start at about the same time as I landed the elusive first...

Just seen that Jerry Dunaway passed away August 9th. Jerry was a self made man who dedicated his life to exploring the world and catching billfish. He and his wife, Deborah, ran the "Madam and Hooker" team 1979-1999; the first such mothership and gameboat operation in the world. If you want a...

Hi, Depending on how often I use the boat, depends on how I flush the motors. If I am using it daily, then a quick freshwater flush on the muffs is good enough. If I am leaving it in the water, then a flush through the cooling connection is done. If I am not using the boat for a couple of weeks...

Did anyone see the vehicle rolled into the wall at GB road and Broadlands intersection, almost into Greenways? Looks like they were being chased and lost it. There were at least 30 large bags of perlemeon scattered around and being collected by the police. Any one got any additional info?

Hi All, After 8 years my old LCX 112 has given up. I am considering replacing with 2 x 5" units. I liked the large screen of the LCX, but it was in dual display most of the time, hence I am looking at 2 individual units. For the GPS, I do not think 3d mapping etc is necessary, basically I need a...

Heard a rumour of a new IGFA world record yellowfin landed last week off of Richards Bay - 191kg's. Apparently caught deep around the castle. Can any one confirm?? If true, AMAZING.
