A Great White Shark and A Lizard Off Durban - 06-02-10 by
Mike Laubscher (2/06/2010)
[Durban,KZN] I was a GREAT WHITE SHARK and I could tell by the gill slits and underbelly. It was massive, way longer than my boat, I estimate around 6m long which puts it over 1500kg, its pectoral fins were longer than my arms and its head was almost as wide as my boat. And here it was breaching 20m behind my boat, what a huge and magnificent creature and for sure the master of the sea.

Late report for Wednesday from the Beach by
Rory Rorison (1/31/2010)
[Shell Beach,LA] My guests for the day were Michael and his dad Richard. I was hoping that we would have a nice calm day so we could head out to the Sound and chase Reds and Heads since the reports from the marsh have not been so hot for Trout. Instead the tide was dead low and falling with the wind blowing. Good thing was that the temps were mild and the sun was shining.

Yellowstone River Winter Fishing by
JB Klyap (1/30/2010)
[Yellowstone River,MT] The icebergs offer good vantage points-slippery casting platforms. The river is lower than normal, easily waded. When there's normally 1 fish per square foot...what happens when the river comes down 10 times the norm...you do the math, I am tying on a bug and casting first!
