More Tides
Report from Monday, November 24.
The Down Deep will now blackfish, Capt. Mario said. Striped bass fishing slowed, and blackfishing is good. The tautog to 7 pounds were clubbed aboard. Trips, including open-boat, will also sail for sea bass offshore, when weather is fair. Charters are being booked, and sign up for the Short Notice List on Down Deep's website to be kept informed about open trips.
The boat will be hauled from the water on Tuesday for the season, said Capt. Joe from Papa's Angels Charters. The vessel had been striped bass fishing, and Joe thanks all who fished aboard this year, and appreciates them, he said. Trips will resume in mid-April with striped bass fishing, and Joe also wishes everybody happy and safe holidays.
On the party boat Atlantic Star, blackfishing was decent on Sunday, Capt. Tom said. A couple of anglers limited out, and some bagged no keepers. But all left with fish, Tom thought, because some who limited gave away fish. A blackfish heavier than 8 pounds won the pool, and some 5- and 6-pounders were cracked. The number of keepers was about the same as on Saturday, and Saturday's blackfishing was somewhat more consistent. Sunday's fishing started off well, and then slowed. So the boat was moved to a couple of spots, and a few blackfish were axed at each, not the fishing like earlier in the trip. The angling didn't hold up like on Saturday, but was still decent. Both green crags and white crabs caught on Sunday's trip. Greens are supplied aboard, and whites are available for sale on trips. No trip was expected to sail today in forecasts for rough weather. The Atlantic Star is blackfishing 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily, including on Thanksgiving, if weather allows.
Catching large striped bass was tougher in past days, said Capt. Pete from Parker Pete's Fishing Charters. He'd like to start focusing more on blackfishing, and that angling's been excellent. Plenty of dates remain for blackfish charters in December. But trips still boated stripers aboard. Throwbacks were hooked, and sometimes keepers were mixed in. Some days were better than others. On some days, the fish wanted jigs. On others, trolling caught best. If trips were fortunate to find bunker schooling, stripers were hooked on livelined bunker. What the stripers foraged on changed from day to day. Sometimes they foraged on rainfish. Small weakfish were even found in striper stomachs. Bluefish attacked on some days. They didn't the last couple of days with Parker Pete's, but lots previously did. Again, every day could be different. Striper trips sailed south on the ocean the last few days. But talk sounded like stripers were caught to the north in the ocean again now. That could change, and trips found stripers from tight to shore to a couple of miles from the coast, and that could also change. Don't have enough anglers for a charter?

Was a good weekend of blackfishing, Bob from Fisherman's Den wrote in an email. "Blackfish madness," he wrote, and plenty of anglers blackfished, and some tackled big ones. A blackfish heavier than 9-pounds was the largest checked-in. Striped bass were boated on the ocean off Ocean County, to the south. The fish were mostly throwbacks to stripers weighing in the teens that were trolled or jigged. Surf fishing for stripers was a little tough the last few days, and few of the stripers beached were keepers. The surf was loaded with spearing, but fewer stripers fed on them than Bob would expect. Mostly plugs and teasers hooked any stripers from the beach. In Shark River, fishing was good for winter flounder and sundials.
Fishing was slow Saturday on the ocean to the north on the party boat Miss Belmar Princess, an email from the vessel said. Some throwback striped bass and a couple of blues were hooked. On Sunday's trip, bluefish were Mohawked on the ocean to the north. A few keeper stripers and quite a few throwbacks were landed, and Derek Dearnley, Vernon, won the pool with a 25-pound striper. Today's trip was weathered out. The Miss Belmar Princess is sailing for striped bass and blues 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. A trip will fish 6 a.m. to 12 noon on Thanksgiving, and reservations are required for that outing.
Fishing was insane for bluefish and keeper striped bass and throwbacks during the first couple of hours of the trip Sunday on the party boat Golden Eagle, a report on the vessel's website said. Clouds of birds worked the water everywhere, more birds than a trip aboard saw all season. Anglers hooked fish as fast as they could drop a line in the water. The fishing lulled 45 minutes, but became crazy again during the final 1 ½ hours of the trip. Gale wind was expected to keep today's trip docked. The Golden Eagle is fishing for striped bass 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 or 3 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and on Striperthons 6 a.m. to 3:30 or 4 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Offshore wreck-fishing trips will sail every Friday night in December for giant sea bass, porgies and cod, and contact the boat to reserve.
Boating for striped bass gave up pretty darn good numbers, but not so good size, on the ocean, said Eric from The Reel Seat. The fish, mostly throwbacks, a few keepers, were also trolled and jigged on the back of Raritan Bay. On the ocean, lots of throwback stripers, some keepers mixed in, were decked from Sandy Hook to Monmouth Beach. On Saturday, the ocean held stripers from Mantoloking to Lavallette in 60 feet. Stripers in the ocean foraged on small bait like rainfish and spearing, instead of adult bunker like before. A few sand eels were heard about from toward the mouth of Raritan Bay. On the ocean, trolled bunker spoons caught some of the better-sized stripers to about 20 pounds. Closer to shore, like in 30 feet, a pile of throwbacks, occasionally a small keeper, were jigged. In the surf, stripers popped up anywhere from Sandy Hook to Island Beach State Park. Fishing for them was best at night on high tides. Sometimes late afternoons to dusk gave them up. Surf fishing for stripers was kind of hit or miss. Lots of spearing and sometimes peanut bunker showed up in the surf. A few peanuts showed up in the surf at Sea Girt on Saturday night, but not on Sunday morning. Eric surf fished for stripers from Belmar to Lavallette during nights with Yo-zuri Mag Darters and Daiwa SP Minnows. Sometimes he found the fish right away, and other times he fished a few spots before finding them. Blackfishing was great on the ocean at places including Sandy Hook, Sea Girt and Axel Carlson reefs, and Shrewsbury Rocks. The tautog gathered mostly in 30 to 50 feet, and some were sizable. At Manasquan Inlet, anglers picked away at blackfish, including some keepers. The inlet was loaded with windowpanes, and hickory shad swam the inlet. In Manasquan River, striper fishing was slow, but a few were around. Winter flounder bit in nearby northern Barnegat Bay toward Bay Avenue and Point Pleasant Canal. Flounder also bit in Manasquan River from Route 70 Bridge to the canal. Back on the ocean, wreck-fishing was good, was well worthwhile, when party boats could reach farther from shore. Sea bass and quite a few large porgies were pitched aboard. A few large, out-of-season fluke to 10 pounds were caught and released. Catch the shop's big Black Friday sale from Friday through Sunday on items like lots of rods, tuna jigs, fluke and striper bucktails and more.
Striped bass schooled the ocean close to 3 miles from shore, said Capt. Frank from Melanie Anne Sport Fishing Charters. Fishing for them is open within 3 miles from the coast, and Melanie Anne scored a good catch of the bass to 40 inches and larger Sunday. Striper fishing was dead on Delaware Bay and in the Cape May Rips. The water was full of mud. Sea bass fishing was good, and sea bass close to shore started to be small, so trips had to sail farther from the coast for good-sized ones. But the fish were there. Plenty of blackfish are biting. ***Update, Tuesday, 11/25:*** A sea bass trip was cancelled aboard Monday, because of forecasts for wind. Trips will fish for stripers on Thanksgiving and for a combo of sea bass, blackfish and stripers on Friday. That trip will fish wrecks at first for sea bass and blackfish, and then for stripers closer to shore. Anglers booked for a trip Sunday want to fish for whatever bites. So the trip will head out for whatever fishing's best at the time.
The anglers limited out on blackfish by 9:30 a.m. on Sunday on the Down Deep, Capt. Mario said. The fish weighed up to multiple 7-pounders, and the catch was super, he said. Charters and open-boat trips are fishing. Open trips include ones for striped bass, and an open trip will fish for sea bass and cod at the first window of weather. See open trips listed on the vessel's website. Sign up for the Short Notice List on Down Deep's website to be kept informed about open trips.
Atlantic Highlands
Wind fail to blow a gale forecast for today, Capt. Ron from the party boat Fishermen wrote in a report on the vessel's website. Only a handful of anglers showed up at the harbor, and the Fishermen was one of two of the head boats that fished from the marina. Plenty of life – birds working the water, and fish on top – was around at several areas. Some of the fish wanted to bite, and some didn't, and the trip kept fishing different patches, looking for the ones that wanted to feed. A couple of keeper striped bass and mostly smaller ones were hooked, but action was good for anglers who worked at the catches. White rubber shads caught best, like recently. The shads were reeled slowly along bottom. Northwest wind will be fishable on Friday, for sure, with an outgoing tide most of the day. The Fishermen is sailing for striped bass and blues 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily and for stripers 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
The party boat Atlantic Star fished on no trips Monday through today, in the weather, Capt. Tom said. But the crew shaped up to sail every day, and he'll see whether Friday's trip will sail. Weather sounds okay for the weekend. The Atlantic Star is focusing on blackfish, but also sailing for porgies and sea bass, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. ***Update, Saturday, 11/22:*** Blackfishing was a nice pick aboard today, Tom said. It wasn't great, but was good enough to stick with. Anglers with patience were able to feel the tautog scratch and hit, so that when the fish bit, the anglers caught. The trip fished several spots, and a couple of customers bagged four or five, and one or two anglers landed no keepers. But some of the anglers who bagged more than they needed gave away the fish, so that all customers left with fish. Action with throwbacks kept all anglers alert, and the trip's fishing wasn't fast and furious, but was somewhat steady, and much better than on Friday. Friday was cranky in wind, and today's weather was calmer. Sunday might be the day to jump aboard, because Monday sounds like a blow out. Wind is supposed to build and gust from Sunday afternoon to Monday.
Blackfishing was good, when boaters got the weather to sail, said Jimmy from Julian's Bait & Tackle. A friend on Sunday, when the bag limit was hiked to six of the tautog, from one previously, nailed a 16-pounder, a 9-pounder and an 8-pounder. Boating for striped bass was good when trips could sail. Surf fishing for stripers picked up. One angler beached a 20-pounder and four throwbacks in only an hour. Jimmy would fish plugs in the surf but bring bunker and clams, definitely, in case bait needed to be fished. The bunker and clams, if not used, could be frozen to use afterward. If clams are salted a little before freezing, they'll catch stripers. The clams will need to be tied to the hook then. Many anglers prefer tying anyway, because they think that prevents dog sharks and skates from being hooked. But nothing stops dogs and skates! Jimmy said. Nobody really sailed for sea bass and porgies, because they switched to blackfish. The crabs, hard bait, for blackfishing, instead of clams, soft bait, helped avoid dogs from "eating anglers alive."
With Last Lady Fishing Charters, blackfishing was fantastic today, Capt. Ralph said. Some of the anglers limited out, and all landed some blackfish. Space is available on individual-reservation trips for blackfish on Monday and on Sunday, November 30. The trips will also sail every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, when no charter is booked. Charters are available daily.
The party boat Big Mohawk fished Wednesday, clobbering blackfish, a great catch, Capt. Chris said. That was after the week's worst weather kept the fishing docked. The trip's catches included limits, and the tautog weighed up to 8 pounds. Previously, the boat last sailed on Sunday, before the weather. Catches that day included limits, and the fishing wasn't as fast as on Wednesday. The fish on Sunday weighed up to 5 pounds, and the Big Mohawk is blackfishing 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Green crabs are supplied, and white leggers can be purchased aboard.
Fishing for striped bass and blues was tough during the weekend on the party boat Miss Belmar Princess, an email from the vessel said. But blues to 12 pounds were caught. No trips sailed since, because of weather, and the crew expected to shape up for a trip today, but 25- to 30-knot wind, from northwest, was forecast. "We will see what happens," it said. Trips are expected to fish Saturday and Sunday, because forecasts look good. The Miss Belmar Princess is sailing for striped bass and blues 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. A special trip will fish 6 a.m. to 12 noon on Thanksgiving, and reservations are required for that outing.
Weather kept the party boat Golden Eagle docked, but wind and cold is supposed to ease up a few days now, and the boat will be ready to sail today, a report on the vessel's website said. The Golden Eagle is fishing for striped bass 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 or 3 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and on Striperthons 6 a.m. to 3:30 or 4 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Offshore wreck-fishing trips will sail every Friday night in December for giant sea bass, porgies and cod, and contact the boat to reserve.
Lots of bluefish and a couple of striped bass were pounded Wednesday on the ocean with Parker Pete's Fishing Charters, Capt. Pete said. A few stripers were lost, and a few were seen, "but bluefish crushed us," he said. The blues were trolled, and the stripers were taken on livelined bunker. Bunker schooled, but not as many as before, and they swam deeper than previously. Snagging-hooks had to be sunk to catch the baitfish. Seas weren't rough close to shore in the west wind, and weather was frigid. The trip fished to the south, and the angling was a little tough, he said, and the water temperature dropped somewhat. But striper fishing will bounce back, he thinks. No trips fished aboard in Monday's storm and Tuesday's wind. Blackfishing's been good, and plenty of dates are available for blackfish charters in December. Blackfishing was good aboard Sunday, covered in the last report. On the trip, Ken Russell's 8.9-pound blackfish won second place in the Jersey Coast Shark Anglers blackfish tournament. Don't have enough anglers for a charter?

Point Pleasant Beach
A few anglers limited out on blackfish, and most others bagged two to four apiece, on the party boat Norma-K III on Wednesday, Capt. Matt wrote in an email. "The blackfish were hungry …!" he wrote, and all anglers left with the fish. A few of the tautog were picked at the first two drops, "and our third made the day," he said. The Norma-K III is blackfishing 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. A trip will fish for the tautog 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving, and a Striper Special Trip will sail 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Black Friday. Magic Hour Ling and Cod Trips are fishing 3 to 9 p.m. every Saturday.
Seaside Heights
Surf anglers banked some striped bass this morning, said Kevin from The Dock Outfitters. "They're liking the low-light bite," he said, and lures like Bombers and Daiwa SP Minnows were cast to the fish. The catches he heard about were from Island Beach State Park and Seaside. Sand eels showed up along the coast, but were "spotty." The west wind probably shoved them away from the surf. Boaters nailed stripers well on the ocean the past couple of days, fishing bunker schools, snagging the baitfish and then livelining them. Blackfish snapped along Manasquan and Barnegat inlets' jetties. A buddy just put together a good catch of them on green crabs. Baits stocked include green crabs, eels, fresh bunker, fresh clams and sandworms. The Dock Outfitters, located on Barnegat Bay, blocks from the ocean surf, features a bait and tackle shop, boat and jet ski rentals in season, a café and a dock for fishing and crabbing.
Toms River
For those braving the cold, striped bass gave up a night bite, said Mario from Murphy's Hook House. Daiwa SP Minnows lit into them well, and Hank Pryor beached a 30-incher last might on a dark-colored Mambo Minnow. Rumors said sand eels began to appear in the water, and if sand eels are around, metal jigs like Jetty Ghosts and A.O.K.'s with teasers will be tackle to toss to the bass during daytime. Abigail Murphy, no relation to the shop, boated an 18-1/2-pound striper and two blues 8 and 9 ½ pounds on the ocean Sunday. A customer was stopping by for green crabs for blackfishing, and Mario knew that the tautog bit along Barnegat Inlet's north jetty, but didn't know how large they were. Murphy's, located on Route 37, bought Go Fish Bait & Tackle on Fischer Boulevard in Toms River this year, and is running both shops now.
Forked River
The radio was dead this week, said Kyle from Grizz's Forked River Bait & Tackle. He keeps the radio on in the shop to listen to boaters, and they almost said nothing in the weather. One today on the radio said one of the party boats from Barnegat Light moved all around the ocean, looking for striped bass, but found none. But the shop last week reported stripers boated on livelined bunker and trolled umbrella rigs on the ocean, and stripers eeled on Barnegat Bay at Oyster Creek and Double Creek channels.
Barnegat Light
Space is available for a charter Sunday on the Super Chic, because of a cancellation, Capt. Ted said. Striped bass fishing was great on the ocean Friday aboard. Lots of boat traffic sailed the water Saturday and Sunday, but trips aboard put together catches of the bass those two days. All three trips livelined bunker for bait. Weather was rough, but Ted heard stripers were boated from the ocean Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday's wind blew fiercely. He knew the stripers were trolled on Wednesday, but didn't know if any were caught on bunker.
There weren't really customers in the weather in the last days at Bobbie's Boat Rentals, Vince Sr. said. But when customers fished, they caught. Nothing was different about what and where. In the shop's previous report here a week ago, Vince said lots and lots of striped bass were docked from everywhere from the ocean to Barnegat Inlet to Barnegat Bay, and livelined spots seemed to catch them best, and plenty of blackfish were snatched from along Barnegat Inlet's rocks. Bobbie's features a complete bait and tackle shop, a fuel dock and, in season, boat and kayak rentals. The boats are used for fishing, crabbing, clamming and pleasure. The store is known for bait supply. Baits stocked currently include live spots and green crabs.
Surf City
One angler stopped in with a 19-pound striper beached from the surf Monday in the storm, said Joe from Surf City Bait & Tackle. Not much news rolled in since, and few anglers fished in the cold. Besides stripers from the surf, anglers hooked blackfish along jetties, when they fished in better weather. Sixty pounds of fresh bunker arrived, after the baitfish was unavailable, because of weather. Fresh clams and green crabs are on hand. Like Surf City Bait & Tackle's Facebook page.
Mystic Island
Was nothing to report about past days because of the weather, said Brian from Scott's Bait & Tackle. But striped bass, many, were sacked during the weekend from the ocean. The fish were weighed-in every day through then, and were trolled from the red tower on Long Beach Island to the north. Tony Maja's bunker spoons caught them best, and umbrella rigs with rubber shads caught second best. Nothing was reported about blackfish in the weather, including on Sunday, when the bag limit was pulled up to six of the tautog, from the previous limit of one. Seas were still rough then. White perch fishing was good on Mullica River. Green crabs, fresh, shucked clams, live grass shrimp, and bloodworms are stocked. Fresh bunker will be on hand for the weekend.

Anglers will need to make their own reports, because few fished in the weather, said Capt. Dave from Absecon Bay Sportsman Center. But one trip returned with a 35-pound striped bass boated on the ocean Wednesday on bunker snagged and then livelined for bait. The trip's bunker were snagged deep, and none of the menhaden showed along the surface. The trip fished to the north, but probably not far, because of the cold. A few stripers were reported banked from the surf that day, and the week's weather might amp up local striper fishing. Dave's been fishing the back bay for stripers, before the weather, and anglers will see how that fishing goes when the weather straightens out. Winds were calm this morning, though forecasts called for strong winds, and Dave wished he had headed out to fish in the morning. A few blackfish caught were heard about on Sunday, when the bag limit was lifted to six of the tautog, from the previous limit of one. Then the weather turned, and nobody mentioned blackfishing. Baits stocked include live spots and green crabs, and fresh bunker will arrive this afternoon. Weather was much warmer, of course, in Guatemala, where Dave is a partner in a charter operation. This was a time when anglers begin thinking about trips there for winter. Sailfish and dorado will bite, and do year-round. But many anglers look to Guatemala to escape the cold season. Click here for info about the trips.
Boating for striped bass turned up good catches Sunday on the ocean, said Capt. Andy from Riptide Bait & Tackle. The Elks striper tournament was held during the weekend, and a 31-pounder won, covered in the last report. In the surf Wednesday, despite cold, Linda Davoli bagged two stripers 29 and 30 inches on plugs, and another angler landed three throwbacks on bunker. But surf fishing was slow. Fresh clams are stocked, and fresh bunker will arrive Friday. The annual Riptide Striper Bounty was up to $1,220. Sponsored by Hess Plumbing, the bounty awards the total entry fees to the angler who enters the season's first striper 43 inches or larger from Brigantine's surf. Entry is $5 and required before catching the fish. The annual Riptide Striper Derby is under way until December 23, awarding prizes, and allowing beach-buggy access to Brigantine's entire length, when accompanied by a Brigantine beach-buggy permit. Otherwise, not all the beach can be driven.
Atlantic City
A 57-pound striped bass was weighed-in that was smashed at Harrah's Casino from the dock this week, said Noel from One Stop Bait & Tackle. The fish was hooked on cut bait, and Noel was unsure what kind, like herring, bunker or mullet. A 32-inch 14-1/2-pounder was checked-in that was bagged from the T-jetty on fresh bunker during the week. Stripers were eased in from shore at Absecon Inlet and the surf, "but you know," he said. Sunrise, sunset and nighttime were the times to try for them, and fresh clams, fresh bunker and eels were baits to fish. Blackfishing was good along the inlet for shore anglers, but wasn't phenomenal. Seemed like the tautog knew when the bag limit was raised. The limit was increased to six on Sunday, from the previous limit of one. Mostly green crabs clocked them, and sometimes clams did. The inlet, located near the shop, is lined with fish-attracting jetties. Green crabs are $4 per dozen or three dozen for $10, and eels are $1.50 apiece or $15 per dozen. Baits stocked, a large supply, also include fresh bunker and clams. Enter the ***48 Hour Striper Happy Hour*** for free at the shop. The striper tournament, to be held Friday through Sunday, is for Atlantic City's beaches only, and will offer a $400 purse. That's a $300 cash winner and a $50 gift certificate apiece to One Stop and Ducktown Tavern in Atlantic City. Get a 10-percent discount just for registering at the store. About 90 anglers registered in the past two days. Friend One Stop on Facebook.
Twelve striped bass, including two 33-pounders, were trolled from the ocean Wednesday on the Stray Cat on 9er rigs, Capt. Mike said. "Got to have 9ers," he said. So the fishing, with a group from Harrah's Casino, was great, and all the stripers were keepers that bit. Seas weren't bad close to shore in the west wind, but the day was bitter cold. Cleaning the fish was the toughest part of the day, he said. Blackfish remain on the ocean wrecks. "Just sitting there waiting on me," he said. Charters are fishing, and space is available on open-boat trips Friday and Sunday. A few spots remain for an open trip for blackfish 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Thanksgiving, and the fare is only $29.95. More open trips will be scheduled for next week.
Ocean City
No trips fished in the weather in past days on the party boat Miss Ocean City, Capt. Victor said. But the vessel is sailing for blackfish and sea bass 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday and every Friday through Sunday, and reservations are required. The trips are available for groups on any other day by reservation.
Before the rough weather, a good number of striped bass, 36 to 40 inches, 20 pounds and larger, showed up in the ocean, within 2 miles from shore, said Justin from Fin-Atics. The fish were mostly trolled on umbrella rigs and Stretch lures. The fish schooled Saturday and Sunday, and heavily on Monday, during the rainstorm. Strong wind and cold arrived during the next days. But a few trips sailed on Wednesday, and caught the fish. Nothing was really heard about blackfish. The blackfish bag limit was increased to six starting Sunday, and anglers had planned to fish for them on the ocean, but sailed for the stripers instead. Whether blackfish still bit in the back bay was a question, because the bay's temperature dropped. The bay was 40 degrees the other night. A few stripers, not many, were beached from the surf. Sometimes small ones, occasionally a keeper, were hooked along the surf jetties. But keepers were rare. Small stripers bit along the 9th Street Bridge, especially at night, on lures like soft-plastics or Diawa SP Minnows, sometimes on clams or bunker. A few were angled during daytime on the bait. But nothing was reported about the fishing in the weather the past days.
Sea Isle City
When boaters sailed between the weather, they caught striped bass well on the ocean on a couple of days this week, said Mike from Sea Isle Bait & Tackle. The fish were mostly trolled on the ocean on shad umbrella rigs. The stripers fed on bunker, and had bunker in their stomachs, and the shads imitated the baitfish. Nothing was heard about fishing the back bay for stripers in the weather. When trips could sail for blackfish, they caught fairly well, not furious, but if anglers put in the time, they limited out. Blackfishing from land slowed somewhat, but still produced catches.
Trips were docked in the weather aboard, but striped bass were jigged and trolled on the ocean Monday, said Capt. Joe Hughes from Jersey Cape Guide Service, affiliated with Sea Isle Bait & Tackle. His trips Mohawked them, big bass, Saturday and Sunday, and also large blues in the mix Saturday, covered in the last report. The migration had arrived, and usually remains locally well into December. But the fish are here now, so go for them. Joe heard about no bluefish since Saturday, but wouldn't be surprised if they showed up again, and he was sure they were around. Coming up, annual traveling charters will fish the Florida Keys from Christmas to Easter, and this is the time to book, while dates are available. See Jersey Cape's traveling charters Web page. Keep up with Joe's fishing on Jersey Cape's blog.
Cape May
The Heavy Hitter will fish this weekend, Capt. George said. He knew about good catches of striped bass boated from the ocean and Delaware Bay this week. The angling was so-so on Sunday. On Monday, it was good, both in the ocean and bay. On Tuesday, a friend scored well on stripers on the ocean.
Fishing for striped bass was off the hook on the ocean, said Capt. Frank from Melanie Anne Sport Fishing Charters. No trip sailed aboard today, but Frank got a call that said the fishing was slow today. But a trip with Melanie Anne on Wednesday sailed at 6:30 a.m., and was back at the dock at 10:30 a.m., limited out with stripers. The trip trolled umbrella rigs with rubber shads, and Stretch plugs. But whatever was fished, anglers couldn't really miss. Stripers in Delaware Bay bit at the mouth, right off the Cape May Rips, but deep, almost in the ocean. Windy weather wasn't so conducive to fishing there. Frank would like to try for stripers on the Delaware side of the bay, but wind prevented that. Small stripers were sometimes found farther up the bay. A sea bass trip aboard was postponed until Monday to fish the ocean, because of wind. Wind also looks questionable for that day. Blackfishing's been good, and trips for them didn't need to sail offshore, but still needed to fish 18 miles off. But the catches were good.
Daily blackfishing trips were kicked off Sunday on the party boat Porgy IV, and some of the tautog were cranked up, Capt. Paul said. Most were swung in toward the end of the trip, and some of the anglers limited out. Carl Keehfuss from Villas won the pool with a 6-1/2-pounder, bagging six of the fish. Small boats like outboards 20 or 25 feet long covered most of the larger wrecks, and the bag limit was increased to six blackfish that day, from the previous limit of one. After that day, no trips fished on the Porgy IV, in the rainstorm Monday, and wind on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wind was supposed to blow today, but a trip might sail, because anglers called who wanted to. The Porgy IV is blackfishing at 8 a.m. daily.
Boaters trolled striped bass, good catches, on the ocean, within 3 miles from shore, said Nick from Hands Too Bait & Tackle. Nothing was heard about striper fishing on Delaware Bay since Sunday, the last day when weather was really boatable. But boaters there got into good striper fishing early in the day then, and had slow fishing for them later in the day. A few boaters eeled stripers at the Cape May Rips during the weekend. One of them was known about who heaved in a 42-incher. Trips boated for blackfish on the ocean before the weather, axing some good catches. Nick would say fish for blackfish within 10 miles from shore, and for sea bass 25 or 30 miles from the coast. Blackfish were tugged in from along Cape May Inlet's jetty. Seemed the fishing was good, if anglers got a spot to fish for them. Anglers were reportedly elbow to elbow there on Sunday. Fewer probably fished in the middle of the week. Shore anglers fished one jetty, and boaters fished the other, at the inlet. Live spots, eels and green crabs are stocked. Fresh bunker will arrive Saturday morning.

If you want someone to speak English or Esperanto with and you're willing to spend some time speaking French, please contact me. Also feel free to contact me to practise Esperanto even if you don't speak French.
I've been learning Esperanto for a year and I want to move on to learning French. If I can become sufficiently fluent in just one year, I will study physics in the language at university (which is one of the more ambitious goals of mine). Any and all help is appreciated!
I learned French in high school and I was quite good at it *however* I have forgotten pretty much all of it. Basically, I'm starting from scratch. While some aspects might be like riding a bike and some might be aided by my knowledge of Esperanto, I imagine the vast majority is likely to take the usual amount of effort - which is to say a lot.
Hey, I'm getting somewhat decent with Esperanto (started in May) and always looking for more language partners. I also started dabbling in French last week, although I'm prioritising Turkish over it so not sure how good a language partner I'd be for that.
Still, nice to meet ye!

This application claims priority to the German application No. 10344361.4, filed Sep. 24, 2003, and to the International Application No. PCT/EP2004/009597, filed Aug. 27, 2004 which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
The invention relates to an apparatus for communicating with a system, in particular for operating and monitoring an automation system in industrial manufacturing.
Input and output devices must be connected to industrial automation systems in order to run said systems; this is known as process interfacing. Output devices (monitoring devices) include e.g. check lights, alphanumeric or graphical displays, which inform the system operator about the current system state. Input devices (operator devices) include e.g. switches, rotary knobs or keyboards for alphanumeric input, which allow the operator to act on the system.
In order to allow communication between user and system, so -called operator devices and monitoring devices, subsequently referred to simply as communication devices, are usually installed permanently on the system itself or e.g. in the manufacturing hall where the system is located. A typical communication device has a convenient casing in which input and output devices are arranged. The data interchange with the system or its control unit takes place via an interface cable which is permanently installed.
Provision is also made for communication devices which are connected to the system via a cable of greater or lesser length and allow mobility for the operator at or along the system within the limits of the range of the cable, wherein the operator can take the communication device with him or her.
In the case of very large or relatively inaccessible systems, cable -based communication devices are no longer practicable. Mobile communication devices, i.e. freely movable communication devices which communicate wirelessly with the system and are battery powered, exist for this purpose and handle the data interchange with the system via radio connection. So-called docking stations exist for this type of communication device, e.g. in the form of a storage receptacle, and are used for housing the communication devices and charging the batteries which are present in the devices. The storage receptacles are located e.g. near the system or in a separate area such as the supervisor cabin.
In order to set up a manufacturing process on a system, said system is first started in a running mode which is known as setup mode or learning mode. Fine tuning of the system is performed via the connected communication devices in this context, e.g. the traverse paths of robot arms are configured. Communication devices which work in a wireless manner are normally only used during the setup mode, since here the operator requires maximal mobility at the system in order to be able to monitor and thus configure subprocesses accurately.
Once the manufacturing process has been set up on the system, the system is switched into the normal mode, e.g. its production speed is increased. During the normal mode, wireless communication devices are not usually required or are even undesirable because they are battery driven and therefore have only a limited service life or because they place an unnecessary load on the radio network of the system provider. The mobile communication devices are therefore stored away or, according to DIN, must even be locked away if they include safety-related functions (stop functions or permission functions). Communication with the system during the normal mode then takes place via conventional, permanently installed communication devices, which often also have different functionality, e.g. do not provide any specific functions for setting up the system process.
Until now, therefore, different running states of the system have required different communication devices, and these must therefore be procured concurrently. All communication devices must also be serviced, managed or programmed accordingly, thereby incurring significant expenditure in terms of cost and effort.
The present invention addresses the problem of specifying an apparatus for communicating with a system, wherein said apparatus is designed to be less resource intensive and less costly.
The problem is solved by an apparatus for communicating with a system, in particular for operating and monitoring an automation system in industrial manufacturing, which apparatus features a mobile communication device for wirelessly exchanging data with the system. The apparatus also includes a connection interface for the communication device, said connection interface being installed at a fixed location, and a sensor for detecting whether the communication device is connected to the connection interface.
As a result of the mobile i.e. freely movable communication device, which includes wireless functionality, the system operator has maximal freedom of movement at the system. In setup mode, the operator can freely select an optimal location in order to check or adjust the system function as effectively as possible.
Upon completion of the setup mode, the operator can connect the communication device to the connection interface which is installed at a fixed location.
In this context, installed at a fixed location means that the connection interface has a permanent connection to the system and is assigned a defined location at the system. This can also include a service line from the system to the connection interface, said service line being slightly flexible, such that the connection interface can be positioned in a user-friendly manner.
The sensor can be a light barrier, a proximity sensor or a contact loop, for example. It detects that the communication device is connected. The system control unit is connected to the sensor and is capable of analyzing this information and also notifying the communication device. The connecting of the communication device can therefore serve as a signal, for example, in order to switch the system into the normal mode and to deactivate the setup-specific functionality at the communication device.
It is therefore possible to influence the functionality of the communication device by utilizing the sensor information. For example, specific keys can be rendered inactive when the communication device is in the connected state, if said keys are only required for the setup mode. It is also possible for a graphical display on the communication device to show other information depending on its connection state. A wide variety of possibilities are available here via the programming of the system or the control unit. The subsequent operation of the system in the normal mode or manufacturing mode takes place using the same communication device, now connected to the connection interface, as was used during the setup mode.
It is financially advantageous for the system provider that it is only necessary to invest in a single communication device, with which the system can be operated and monitored in all running modes. A further advantage of the apparatus is that a defined position is established on the system, namely the permanently installed connection interface, at which the communication device is connected during normal mode and is there fore easy to find at any time. Therefore it is not necessary to lock the communication device away, since it is also intended for the normal mode of the system.
Additionally, it might be necessary during normal manufacturing briefly to switch the system into a correction mode which is similar to the setup mode, in order to make post-adjustments to parts of the system, for example. This would previously have necessitated the reactivation of the separate communication device having wireless functionality, wherein said communication device would often have to be retrieved first from the place where it was stored.
If the claimed communication device is removed again from the connection interface, which action would be detected by the sensor, the system switches into a correction mode, for example. In this context, specific additional functionality similar to that of the setup mode can be activated on the communication device. In this way, it is possible to perform corrections on the live manufacturing and then simply reconnect the communication device afterwards, without any additional expenditure in terms of devices or time. The system can then switch over to manufacturing mode again.
The detection of the device connection by the sensor can also be utilized e.g. for checking whether all of the communication devices available on the system have actually been reconnected to the intended positions at the end of a shift, for example.
In an advantageous configuration, the communication device features an interface cable and the connection interface includes a cable connection interface for this interface cable. In comparison with the complete freedom of movement allowed when the communication device is not connected, this allows the operator limited but nonetheless possible mobility, within the limits of the interface cable, when operating and monitoring the system even while the communication device is connected and the system is e.g. in the normal mode. The sensor interacts with the communication device via the interface cable in this case. Of course, the interface cable can also be detachable from the communication device.
The connection interface advantageously includes a storage location in which the communication device can be placed. As a result, there is a defined location at the system where the communication device can be stored for as long as it is connected. This avoids the need to place the communication device on an additional table or on the-ground, and the precise position where it can be found is known. In this case, the sensor detects whether the communication device is inserted in the storage location and is therefore attached to the system.
Furthermore, it is advantageous if the communication device is fixed in the storage location in a lockable manner. When it is in the connected state, for example, it cannot then be stolen or removed by unauthorized personnel, which would result in the system switching from the manufacturing mode into the setup mode or would allow the user to carry out settings or changes to the manufacturing processes by changing the functionality of the communication device. Any removal of the communication device is e.g. only possible using a key which is managed by the supervisor.
If the sensor is a switch which interacts with the communication device or its interface cable, it can be implemented in a manner with is particularly easy, interference -proof and inexpensive.
In a particular embodiment, the apparatus features a data connection interface for wire-based data interchange between system and communication device. This can be integrated in the interface cable or the storage location. In addition, the apparatus includes a changeover unit for changing over between wireless and wire-based data interchange. According to the invention, the changeover of the data interchange can take place in such a way that the process interfacing is not interrupted. The data connection interface can also include an integrated field bus coupling or even additional lines for safety -relevant functions, for example.
In general, wireless data interchange is always more interference-prone or unreliable than wire-based data interchange. Furthermore, radio mode normally requires greater energy expenditure, which must be provided by the communication device, and e.g. in the above mentioned normal mode of the system the wireless data interchange is not usually required since the communication device is connected in this case. The changeover to wire-based communication therefore results in communication which is more reliable and less interference-prone and e.g. causes less EMC burden on the system from radio waves. The load on the radio network is also reduced.
The apparatus is particularly advantageous if the sensor interacts with the changeover unit in such a way that an automatic changeover to wire-based data interchange takes place when the communication device is connected to the connection interface. This ensures, for example, that a changeover to the less interference-prone wire-based data interchange always takes place when the communication device is connected. In addition, the operator cannot forget e.g. to change over the type of data interchange manually.
In order to run the freely moveable wirelessly functioning communication device, it must be equipped with a source of electrical energy. An advantageous development of the invention therefore makes provision for the connection interface in the apparatus to include a power supply for the communication device. This can again be integrated e.g. in the interface cable or the storage location. As a result, the energy reserve in the communication device is spared in the connected state, or can even be recharged if it is an accumulator. This also ensures that, in the connected state, the communication device has sufficient energy e.g. to run lighting at maximum brightness on the communication device.
For a further description of the invention, reference is made to the exemplary embodiments in the drawings in which, by means of a block diagram in each case,
The connection interface 7 a has a storage receptacle 24 which is used for holding the communication device 3 a, though this has been removed from the connection interface 7 a or storage receptacle 24 in
The connection interface 7 b likewise comprises a sensor 8 and a connection interface socket 19 a including data connection interface 9 a and contacts 18 a for a supply voltage. The connection interface 7 b is not designed as a storage receptacle, however, but as a connection interface port or so-called access point which is suitable for use in industry. A lock 25 which can be closed using a key (not shown) is also attached to the connection interface 7 b.
All components of the system part 2 are connected together via a field bus 10 for the purpose of data interchange. The data connection interface 9 a therefore provides a field bus coupling. Further additional interface cables (not shown), e.g. having safety-related functionality, can be integrated in the connection interface socket 19 a. The contacts 18 a are connected to the voltage network 20 of the automation system 1.
The communication devices 3 a,b when used as input devices have push keys 11 by means of which the machine 4 can be operated via the control unit 5, and when used as an output device have a display 12 on which current machine parameters of the machine 4 are displayed and by means of which the machine 4 can therefore be monitored. Also attached to each of the communication devices 3 a,b is a connection interface terminal 19 b which corresponds to the connection interface socket 19 a and includes the reciprocal contacts corresponding to the connection interface socket 19 a, e.g. a data connection interface 9 b and contacts 18 b for supply voltages. The power supply for the communication devices 3 a,b in
The communication devices 3 a,b differ by virtue of the connection interface terminals 19 b which are attached thereto. In the case of communication device 3 a, the connection interface terminal is permanently attached to the casing, whereas it is attached to a removable contact unit 22 in the case of communication device 3 b. T he contact unit 22 in turn is permanently connected to the communication device 3 b via a flexible service line 23.
The communication between a communication device 3 a,b and the control unit 5 takes place in each case along communication paths which are shown by the arrows 13 a,b. The communication paths 13 a,b initially travel between communication device 3 a,b and radio station 6 over radio sections 14 a,b which are formed between the antennas 15,16 on the communication devices 3 a,b and the radio station 6. At the radio station 6, the communication data is converted from the antenna 16 to the field bus 10 and transmitted via the field bus 10 to the control unit 5.
The sensors 8 are connected to the control unit 5 via the field bus 10. The sensors 8, which are open because the communication devices 3 a,b have been removed in
The utilization of the information from the sensors 8, i.e. that the communication devices 3 a,b have been removed, is freely programmable in the control unit 5. In
In the setup mode, as a result of the process interfacing to the machine 4 via radio, an operator handling the communication device 3 a,b can freely select an optimal position to occupy at the system part 2 or change said position without restriction, and operate and monitor the machine 4 from there.
The connection interface sockets 19 a are connected to the connection interface terminals 19 b, thereby connecting the data connection interfaces 9 a and 9 b, the contacts 18 a and 18 b for the power supply and any other lines which are included. The communication devices 3 a,b are therefore supplied with energy from the system part 2 via the voltage network 20, and no longer require energy from their integrated accumulators. These are recharged via the power supply, such that sufficient energy is stored for the next radio mode as per
Since the control unit 5 is informed by the depressed sensors 8 that the communication devices 3 a,b are connected, the data interchange between communication device 3 a,b and control unit 5 is changed over from wireless to wire-based, and the antennas 15,16 are therefore not in use. The data traffic travels along the communication path 13 a,b which now travels from the communication device 3 a,b via the data connection interfaces 9 a,b and the field bus 10.
In order to change over between wire-based and wireless data interchange, a changeover unit (not shown) is integrated in the control unit 5, for example. This can be a program section of the control program, but it can also be an actual switch. In the present case, the changeover unit is linked to the sensors 8 in such a way that the changeover takes place automatically as soon as the switch state of the sensors 8 changes.
The operation of the overall system 1 therefore continues to be coordinated using the same communication devices 3 a,b as in
Of course, it is also possible to remove only one communication device 3 a or 3 b from the corresponding connection interface 7 a,b and to operate only this communication device wirelessly while the other communication device 3 b,a continues to communicate in a wire-based manner with the control unit 5. The utilization in the control unit 5 and in the communication devices 3 a,b of the information from the corresponding sensors 8 in such a case must of course be adapted to the needs of the production system 1 concerned.

Your pre-holiday briefing: From luggage to lounges, car hire to currencies
You've chosen your ideal summer break – but what about those extra little details that will help it all go smoothly?
Saturday 24 July 2010
Baggage is, of course, a weighty matter: the new battleground of the airlines. It's also likely to be the cause of much airport upset this summer.
At one end of the spectrum is Ryanair. For a family of four, baggage fees on Ryanair could quickly dwarf the price of a ticket, with a £15 fee per bag up to 15kg for each flight, and a £25 fee for bags of up to 20kg. This month and next – "peak travel" according to Ryanair – these fees rise to £20 and £40 respectively. Checked baggage must be booked in online up to four hours before the scheduled flight departure time, otherwise higher fees (of £50 each way for 20kg bags during July and August) will be charged.
For free carry-on baggage, the dimensions are strict: 55cm x 40cm x 20cm in size, and 10kg in weight. And the good news? One collapsible pushchair per child may be checked in free on a Ryanair flight.
British Airways has a baggage policy almost entirely at odds with this. Travellers in economy can check in one bag of up to 23kg for free (raising this to 30kg costs £30). One item of hand baggage is permitted, with a maximum dimension of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, and you can also carry on a laptop bag, or a handbag of 45cm x 36cm x 20cm in size. As far as weight is concerned, the only stipulation is that you are able "to lift the bag into the overhead locker unaided". Time for mum and dad to do some anticipatory press-ups, perhaps.
A recent survey from Lastminute.com revealed that the average cost of luggage for a family of four travelling in Europe is a total of £90 return, and that up to 75 per cent of holiday-makers are planning to travel with smaller bags to avoid charges. Check the policy of your airline at the time of booking – and to pack within the allowed weight. Excess baggage fees can be substantial (£20/kg in the case of Ryanair).
Airport lounges
Lounges are no longer solely the preserve of business travellers; families and economy-class passengers can also avoid the airside scrum and enjoy the benefits of a calm environment, Wi-Fi, newspapers and a supply of refreshments and entertainment prior to boarding the plane. You can expect to pay an average of £20 per adult and £10 per child to gain up to three hours' access to a UK airport lounge and can usually book up to a few hours prior to travel. Most open at around 6am and close around 10pm. Even easyJet has been getting in on the act, selling a range of low-cost lounges that start at £14.50 per adult. The no-frills airline ( parking.easyjet.com ) uses Servisair lounges at more than a dozen UK airports, plus Málaga, Barcelona and Malta.
A more indulgent option is Manchester Airport's recently opened Escape Lounge T1 (0871 200 4450; manchesterairport.co.uk ). After a £1.7m refurbishment, it boasts an on-site chef, a fireside "snug" and a fully equipped business room, plus a Scalextric set for children (£25 per adult, £12.50 per child). A good option at Heathrow is the new 4Deck Lounge at Terminal 4 (020-8750 9807; heathrowairport.com ), with four floors of facilities, including a family zone and an striking rooftop observatory offering panoramic views.
Lounges can be booked direct or via holiday frills websites. Try holidayextras.co.uk and gosimply.com .
Finally, Virgin Holidays passengers flying from Gatwick have the option of the V-Room, an impressive lounge with a canteen, table football, TVs, PlayStations, play areas, runway views and a tranquil adults-only zone. The cost is £17 per adult, £10 per child (01293 496 316; virginholidays.co.uk ).
Motoring abroad
How dangerous is your destination? The latest figures (for 2007) from the UN Economic Commission for Europe show dramatic differences in the standard indicator for road safety: fatalities per 100,000 of population. Taking Britain (4.8 in 2007) as the base line, only Holland, Malta and Iceland do better. But in key holiday destinations, the odds worsen rapidly.
Germany, France, Ireland and Portugal are around the 1.5x mark. In ascending order of road deaths, Austria, Spain, Italy and Cyprus rate about 2x. Moving east, there is a cluster in the former Yugoslav components of Croatia and Slovenia, and Greece, around the 3x mark. The worst fatality rates are Kazakhstan and Kyrgystan.
Be aware that drivers on the Continent must use a set of beam converters. In France you must also carry a high-visibility jacket stored in the front of the car, rather than in the boot, as well as a hazard warning triangle. Photocopies of insurance, V5 (log book) and MOT documents are also required.
The AA (theaa.com/ shop) offers a European travel kit (£34.99) with most of what you are likely to need, including a magnetic GB badge for your car.
"Make sure you get your car serviced before you go," says Vicki Burn, a spokesperson for the RAC. "Do the simple checks like making sure your coolant and oil is at the right level." Some countries also require an International Driving Permit. For a list, see rac.co.uk/driving-abroad . For driving regulations abroad, see fco.gov.uk/travel
Lost your passport? If you're departing from the UK and are a UK national, your only option is to call the passport advice line on 0300 222 0000, organise an interview and apply for the one-week passport replacement service, which will cost you £112.50 per adult or £96.50 per child. You will be unable to travel abroad before this time has elapsed.
If you are renewing your passport, the Identity and Passport Service aims "to process applications in around three weeks from the time they arrive at a Passport Office", but this is usually extended at busy times of the year, such as school holidays. The standard adult fee is £77.50 (£49 child). You can also apply to renew your passport before your old one has expired; up to nine months can be transferred to your new passport ( ips.gov.uk ).
Finally, if you lose or have your passport stolen abroad, first report it to the police and obtain a report, and then apply to local British embassy or consulate for an emergency replacement. This usually takes a couple of days. To speed things up, take a photocopy of your passport's information page and keep it separate to your passport so that you have the details to hand.
Airport hotels and parking
One reason speculators invest in airport hotels is to capitalise on delays and disruption. But to boost occupancy, proprietors offer good deals for travellers with early flights.
Location is very important. At the UK's main holiday airport, Gatwick, the ideal hotel for North Terminal is the Sofitel, and for the South Terminal it is the Hilton. Stansted's Radisson is a short walk from check-in.
You will pay a premium to stay at these properties compared with "off-airport" locations. But crafty travellers could try the Arora in Crawley, which is right next to a railway station with four trains an hour to Gatwick taking eight minutes to South Terminal.
Hotels in the Heathrow area have no conventional shuttle buses, but a "Heathrow Hoppa" that runs as infrequently as once an hour and charges £4 for the privilege; if you are flying from Terminal 5, the Sofitel is by far the best bet.
Incidentally, if you are staying at an airport hotel, see if "night before" check-in is available; this facility can ease the stress on the following morning. Airlines such as Thomson and Virgin Atlantic make it available from as early as noon the day before you fly.
HolidayExtras.co.uk is a good source of airport hotel bargains, especially the "undercover hotel" feature. Familiar hotel brands protect their core revenue by selling some rooms through intermediaries who undertake not to name them until the booking is made.
Next week, for example, you could find yourself staying at "A three-star hotel within the airport grounds" at Birmingham for £72 double – without breakfast, but including eight days' parking at Airparks. Parking is a very strong incentive, because many hotels will throw in a week or two when you take a room before or after your flight. Booking direct with Airparks at Birmingham, for example, will cost £27 for the same duration – effectively giving you a hotel room for just £45 for two.
If you need emergency health care while on holiday in the European Economic Area (the EU plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) you qualify to be treated on the same basis as a national of that country, which means reduced cost – or free – state treatment.
Get a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), free by calling 0845 606 2030 or by applying online at ehic.org.uk . It should arrive in 10 days or less; if you have applied but your card has not arrived in time for travel, you are still covered. It lasts five years.
Each nation sets its own health care policy. In Spain, treatment in public hospitals is free; be aware, however, that if emergency help is required, tour operators and hotels will often opt for a private health care provider on your behalf, unless asked not to.
In France, some costs of treatment are payable locally. A portion can usually be recovered on return to the UK; keep all receipts for care you have to pay for. The card is not valid for private care, nor in countries that do not have a national health care service.
Check which health precautions are recommended for the country you are visiting well in advance of travel. If you've left it late, or have made a last-minute booking, first check out the fitfortravel.nhs.uk website, which will tell you what's recommended.
The Department of Health ( dh.gov.uk ) gives more specific advice of recent outbreaks. For example, it recently reported an increased number of measles outbreaks in France this year.
After Cheryl Cole contracted malaria in Tanzania last month, there has been an increased focus on this dangerous disease. For a map of malarial regions consult malariahotspots.co.uk .
Private travel clinics can – for a premium – get you covered last-minute. Masta ( masta-travel-health.com ) has 51 clinics in the UK; and Trailfinders (020-7938 3999; trailfinders.com ) has a clinic at its High Street Kensington store in London.
It's also worth travelling with a medical guidebook such as The Essential Guide to Travel Health (Cadogan, £8.99). The author, Dr Jane Wilson-Howarth, distils the vital information: "Consider the health risks before departure. Some, which come with the terrain, are preventable with immunisation and pills. Some risks will be peculiar to you. Know the generic name and dose of medicines you need to take regularly (or that upset you) and find out what will happen if your supply is lost or a stomach upset stops you absorbing them. Gen up on home-made rehydration solutions to treat travellers' diarrhoea and pack a good drying antiseptic and dressings."
You have trawled the internet or the high street for the best holiday deal, found an annual no-frills travel insurance policy that costs less than a pizza in Pisa, and booked airport parking or a train to the terminal in advance for a song. But if you leave it to the airport (or ferry port, or Eurostar terminal), to change cash, you are throwing money away.
Pathetic: that's the state of the pound at the moment. Three years ago we were the rich men and women of Europe, with the pound buying more than €1.40 and better than $2. Since then the number of euros and dollars you get for each £1 has fallen by a quarter – which, because of the cruel way that foreign exchange works, means that prices have gone up by one-third in sterling terms. An example: a New York hotel room costing $300 was a fairly reasonable £150 a couple of years ago; today, to buy those dollars you will need to change £200. Ouch.
Unless you are an international financier, you cannot do much to influence the feeble state of sterling, but you definitely can minimise the amount that the banks or bureaux de change collect when you change money. Never leave it to the last minute to get your money at the airport or ferry port: you are a captive customer and will lose an outrageous amount on the transaction. Buying €100 can easily cost £100.
Changing money is one of the very few transactions when the merchant publishes their profit margin – divide the "buy" rate by the "sell" rate to see the spread. With NatWest this week, euro and dollar rates had a margin of 14 per cent.
Shop around for the best deal – ideally plodding the streets of London checking rates at specialist bureaux. Thomas Exchange in Victoria Street, the Strand or Hammersmith underground station are reliable, while the area around Queensway Tube station also offers good pickings. Don't be afraid to ask for a better rate if you are changing, say, £1,000. If this is not practical, book currency in advance (for example through Travelex. co.uk) to get a fair rate, and pick it up from the airport office – feeling smug as you queue behind the poor souls who left it too late.
For any "exotic" currency, such as Thai baht or Mexican pesos, always wait until you arrive abroad to change cash. This week Natwest had a spread for Egyptian pounds of a shocking 23 per cent.
Travel insurance
"Many people deeply regret not taking out travel insurance," says the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. "They think their credit-card accident cover, home insurance, or private health cover is sufficient." Travel insurance covers a range of circumstances that can adversely affect your holiday, many of which are unlikely to be offered in full by other forms of protection. The key areas for likely claims include medical cover, lost and stolen possessions, and cancellation cover.
Health cover is vital, because costs can be sky-high. According to Dan Moore of Which? magazine, treatment at the scene of an accident with ongoing care in a hospital and repatriation costs requires cover in Europe of £2m as standard; for the rest of the world look for sums of £4m-£5m. "If something happened where you have a long period convalescing, those costs have to be covered."
Make sure you inform the insurer about any pre-existing medical condition. If you plan any risky activities (from cycle-touring to whitewater rafting), let the insurer know and be prepared for the premium to be increased.
If you're travelling in Europe, don't rely on the European Health Insurance Card. According to Moore, "All it does is ensure that you will get immediate medical attention. It won't cover you for ongoing treatment or travel costs."
And then there's luggage. What should you do when it fails to appear on the carousel? "Stay calm," says Moore. "Report the missing luggage to the airline, and get a copy of the report stating that it hasn't arrived. Then inform your insurer as early as possible."
For a list of "best buy" travel insurers, see which.co.uk .
Car rental
Competition in many holiday hotspots is so intense that rates can seem almost too good to be true. Very often, they are. When you rent a car, the standard 21st-century travel rule – book online in advance for the best rate – applies. But the internet is full of traps for the unwary. Ensure you compare like with like by bundling in all the necessary insurance charges with the rental; good brokers such as Holiday Autos, and the big multinationals, do this anyway.
Make sure also of the location of the office – sometimes cheaper companies are some miles from the airport, with no easy transport. (At Spanish airports, incidentally, a high charge applies for rental car pick-ups – you could save by getting a cab or bus to the city-centre office.)
Beware of extra charges for second drivers, baby seats, sat-nav and the like, Check the refuelling policy. "Out full, back full" is the only one that works from the customer's point of view; "pay for the tank" deals, or "out empty, back empty" policies invariably benefit the company.

We're sure her family was hoping for answers to her tragic passing, but it looks like they will have to continue waiting.
Peaches Geldof's autopsy results have come in and they are reportedly inconclusive.
Police in Kent, England have reported that the testing showed there was no foul play, but that is the only information the autopsy was able to provide.
Now, there will be toxicology testing, but those results might take several weeks to get. However, we can't imagine what those results will bring considering it was reported that no hard drugs were found at her home.
Officials commented on the investigation:
"Officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death in order to compile a report for the coroner."
We sincerely hope her family gets the answers they need and want.
It's hard enough losing a loved one, but we can't imagine waiting to get answers about the sudden passing.[Image via WENN.]

Pick up Thad Young...drop Bogut or Eric Gordon? (self.fantasybball)
submitted 1 year ago by 2k-kid
Im in first place in a 10 M H2H points league and defiantly want to dump one of these guys for Young considering how Bogut and Gordon are both very stressful to own. Which one of them has more up side? This is my team http://i.imgur.com/4DxLG2I.png Thanks!
[–]timbreines 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
im in an 8 man league and im dropping gordon after this week and picking up nate rob. I dont have a ton of guards on my team so i really needed gordon, that being said, who knows what young is going to be like when he comes back. In your case i probably keep gordon for the time being. So if you really wanted to get young, id drop bogut

HUNTINGTON BEACH – Thwack. Thwack.
Hour after hour, the sound of bat meeting ball echoes though this gritty warehouse where champions are made.
Future Olympians, national champions, college stars — all have trained here.
Kelly Christensen, 17, walks past the batting cages with her gear. And with a big decision to make: Where to go to college next year?
At age 5, she started softball. By 10, she was on the road playing travel ball. She's devoted her life to practices, tournaments and championships. (Not to mention road trips, rain delays, injuries and team sleepovers fueled by Dr Pepper and Flamin' Hot Cheetos.)
"It's a sisterhood," she says of teammates who've played together since age 12. "We've already planned who's going to be maid-of-honor at our weddings – so everyone gets a turn."
Nine of those teammates have accepted scholarships to play softball. Not Kelly. She's had offers. But she faces an odd dilemma.
Hitting guru Tony Rico sticks his head in the backroom where Christensen waits: "Let's go."
She walks past "College Row," a wall of college jerseys and photos of successful students Rico trained.
The thwack, thwack of the batting cages has fallen silent. The heavy nets have been pulled back. All that remains is a lone stool in an empty warehouse.
It's time.
Christensen takes a seat. Then, for one of the most famous softball coaches in America, she picks up a guitar.
And starts singing.
