Relationship Red Flags Do Appear Early On

By Stephanie Manley So often in the bloom of a new romance we set aside a few minor character flaws to let the relationship continue, where sometimes we really should just end it early, and cut our losses. Ill make a list of a few of the ones that often come up. Unfortunately, individuals that have these red flags are often the most charismatic people in the room. So be careful when you are starting out, so you can disengage before you are too involved. 1. Do they make all of the decisions for you? They chose where to go, what to eat, who you will be with? 2. Must they know where you are all of the time? Are the calling too often to check up on you? Are they calling you eleven times in an hour because you couldnt get to the phone? (Calling that often isnt cute, its controlling.) 3. Do they force themselves sexually too early in the relationship? Are they pushing for intimacy too early? Are the pushing you in other intimate areas you do not want to go. 4. Do they lie? If they lie about minor details, they will lie about more, later on. This will happen. It is one thing to lie about small social things, lies about marriages, children, jobs, housing, finances, and past experiences is not acceptable. 5. Are they physically aggressive? Are they mean to your pets or other small animals? Do they hit the walls? 6. Are they kind to other people? Do the run down other people? Stay away if they fail these tests. You will be their subject when you are not in earshot. Maybe not today, but one day, this will happen. 7. Are they putting you down in private or public? We build up people we love; we do not tear them down. 8. Do they want you to slow down other social contacts and be with them instead of others in your social circle? 9. Do they forget important details in your life, or interests that you really hold near and special to you? If they gloss over them, they really think more of themselves than you. 10. Do they fail to acknowledge your areas of expertise? Are you a fantastic cook and they wont let you cook? This is really a short list, listen to your gut, your natural instinct, if something feels funny, stop and evaluate it honestly. Ask yourself if your close friend was describing these events and what they would do. If it sounds odd what youre telling your friend, guess what, it is odd. End the new relationship while it is early, before you give that person your heart. Stephanie writes many more articles at http://romancelessons.blogspot.com.

Weight Loss - How I Lost 38 Pounds

By Jerry Aragon Losing weight is a tough problem for anyone! Statistics show that over 50% of the American people are overweight, and I didn't want to be part of that club, so I had to lose weight. Plus, I knew that carrying the extra weight was not good for my health. Growing up, I had always been a skinny kid, so weight was never a problem. I was so skinny, that I had to run around in the shower to get wet! (just kidding) I come from a skinny family of four brothers and five sisters, and none of us ever had a weight problem, and neither did my parents, who were of average build. Throughout my adult years, I was always of average build...about six feet tall and 170 pounds, and I kept that weight for many years. During my lifetime, I have never been a heavy eater, either. But, for a few weeks, I noticed something was not right with me. I did not feel right. I felt listless; overweight; bloated; not sleeping well; and just plain awful, etc. My clothes were not fitting right, and I was a little short-tempered! Something was wrong, and I had to find out what it was. When I found out what was wrong, boy did I get a surprise! One day, I went to see my doctor for my annual physical examination, and I got on the scale to be weighed, and I weighed in at 209 pounds! I was shocked! Forty pounds over what I had always weighed! I was numb! No wonder everything was falling apart on me! I got off the scale, and sank to a new low, and a little depression set in right away! How could this happen? How could I weigh so much? I've never weighed this much in my life...not even close! But, 209 pounds! I felt like I had just been hit in the stomach...a very large stomach! There are those who read this article and think that 40 pounds is small potatoes...but, 40 pounds are very large potatoes to me, etc. And yes, a six foot frame would have no problem carrying 209 pounds, but I didn't want that. As soon as I got off the scale, I knew the weight was coming off...but how? How did I motivate myself? Diabetes: I am extremely afraid of getting diabetes! My aunt and a neighbor who lived next to my parents died of diabetes! And, I worked with a fellow who got diabetes, and went spinning into depression! Clothes/expense: Today, (2006) clothes are expensive, and I was NOT going to start buying new clothes that fit...not on your life! And, then what's next...buy more new clothes as I got bigger and bigger and bigger? No thanks! The thought of buying new clothes motivated, in part, to take some serious action, and I knew a big challenge lie ahead! I was determined to lose 40 pounds no matter what! It would be my top priority, and I didn't care if it took a year, two years or three years! But, how was I going to lose 40 pounds? When I left the doctor's office I felt awful. And for the first time, I could sympathize with what overweight people go through. My first stop was to buy a bathroom scale, because I never needed one. And, when I got home, I jumped on it, and sure enough...209 pounds! I knew nothing about weight loss and diets and so forth. I didn't like the feelings inside of me at all. I perceived that people were going to be looking at me a certain way and calling me names! I was sick! There are millions of books out there on weight loss and diets. I had no idea where to start. First, I had to take a couple of days and think things out as what would be my game plan. I needed a little time to get out of this panic-attack I was in! I got a yellow pad and started scratching down some notes, and I chose to do the following: Attitude: Attitude is everything! I thought attitude could be the most important factor in all this. For, it was attitude that helped me to quit smoking 30 years before. A mix of attitude, discipline, patience, sacrifice...that's what I wanted in my game plan. If I could quit smoking, with the "mental toughness," it took to do it...I COULD LOSE 40 POUNDS I was ready to kick some butt...MY very big butt! First, I had to get rid of my cry-baby attitude and self-pity about myself...which is not like me! I knew, over the next several months, I was going to take a healthy dose of agony, and a lot of whining on my part! Patience: The next decision was to be patient from beginning to the end. Losing all this weight is going to take time. There's NO magic pill; there's NO magic malt; there's NO magic dust! Now, that I decided that patience was going to play an important role in my success to lose weight, I could now settle down a little. Aids: The thought of books; pills; malts were out the window! I decided to make my own rules. I would not spend money on all this stuff. If my game plan didn't work, THEN I would go out and get the help I needed to lose the weight. There are no books, doctors, malts that are going to help unless the person WANTS TO LOSE THE WEIGHT! When I quit smoking, I did it because I WANTED TO...and nothing would stop me! Moderation: Next, came the idea of moderation. I ate everything I ever ate...but, less of it! I decided to cut all portions in HALF! Instead of eating two eggs for breakfast...only one! Instead of eating two slices of pizza...only one! Instead of eating a whole apple...cut it in half and save the other half for a rainy day. Like my mother, I have a sweet tooth, and I love sweet things like candy, pies, cake, and all this would have to be cut in half, too! By doing it this way, I would maintain the quality of life I always enjoyed, only I would now have HALF of what I enjoyed before. In other words, I would have my cake and eat it too! (forget I said that!) Doing it this way, would keep me from going completely crazy...just HALF crazy! Water diet: Several years ago, I heard about a water diet of some sort, but knew nothing about it. Usually parents will not let their kids eat candy or sweet things before a meal, because they will fill up with water and not eat their meal. Makes sense to me. So, I decided to try it. That is, drink a full glass of water before a meal and then I would eat less. A pound a week: The thought of losing 40 pounds was overwhelming to me, and I didn't like it! So, I decided to get rid of that thought, and I would think of losing a pound a week, which sounded better to me than losing 40 pounds. As you can see, I created my own rules and my own game plan. Since I'm not a rocket scientist, my math told me, it would take about 40 weeks or about 10 months to do the job! That's okay...it took me about 10 months to quit smoking, and losing weight is every bit as important as quitting smoking! The little train that could was ready to go up the mountain, and I was anxious to get started. I knew I was going to do it, but what I didn't know, is how long would it take? From the time I implemented my game plan, everything I ate was cut in half, and by the end of the month, I had lost three pounds! Yahoo! I was making progress right away and I was enthusiastic and I had to stay motivated. I thought my game plan was a good one, and each day, I couldn't wait to get on the bathroom scale, to see if there was any good news. Six weeks after I started, I went under 200 pounds! I was on cloud 9! I would give my game plan about three months, and if there was not much progress, then I would get the help I needed to accomplish my goal, etc. I think I have two big advantages over some people: 1) Walking/jogging: I have been walking/jogging 10-15 miles a week since 1986! And still, in the year 2006, jogging helps me to sweat out the good times, and to stay fit. Jogging helps me to keep the stress out of my life; I sleep better; create better; solve problems better, etc. Once a month, I gave myself a fabulous "pig-out" party, and eat whatever I wanted...Mexican or Chinese food, etc. (That's because I was doing so good!) But, I would pay the price later...as I would add about five miles to my agenda of jogging to burn out the good times! (boo-hoo!) 2) Quit smoking: I had to use discipline to quit smoking over 30 years ago, and now it would take discipline to get the weight off, etc. But, it took more than discipline. As mentioned earlier, it took sacrifice; determination; dealing with peer-pressure, patience, etc. So, week after week and month after month, I stayed with my game plan. A pound lost here, and a pound lost there, and I was on track. My attitude was the most important part of this whole operation. I know I can...I know I can...it was only a matter of time before I won the battle. But, it was a roller-coaster from the beginning. At the six month mark, I was down to 185 pounds, and I was on cloud 42! Up and down...up and down...up and down...I would lose three pounds and gain four! The toughest part was to get down below 180 pounds! It took me THREE MONTHS to do it...up and down...182 pounds...down to 178 pounds...up to 185 pounds...down to 179 pounds and so forth. It was driving me crazy...sorry...HALF CRAZY! FINALLY, I got down BELOW 180 pounds, and I couldn't be more HAPPY AND PROUD! Yahoo! I was on cloud 67! this was about nine months into the mission, and I had a little more work to do to get down to 170 pounds. But, I always knew I would do it! Yahoo! The little train that could...a pound a week...40 weeks and 40 pounds have gone bye-bye! When I went back for a physical the following year, my doctor said to me, "You've lost a lot of weight over the past year, Jerry. Have you been ill, or did you lose the weight intentionally?" I JUST SMILED, and gave my doctor a "high-five!" YAHOO! * * * The weight was lost in the year 2000, and as of the year 2006, I still weigh 165-170 pounds. In my view, I think I have not gained the weight back because of patience. It took a long time to lose the weight, and the body adjusted. Today, we live in a fast-paced society, and people don't have patience. People today want everything YESTERDAY! There's NO easy answer...there's no easy way...there's no magic dust! A person just has to suck it up...get that "mental toughness," that's essential...AND, JUST DO IT! UPDATE: As of election day 2006 (November 7, 2006), I still weigh 170 pounds, and all that cutting portions in half did it for me, as I still do it over four years after losing the weight. MY TWO CENTS/Update; January 15, 2007 As a novice in writing, I think this is an amazing story about this piece, Weight Loss: How I Lost 38 Pounds. I wrote the piece on August 4, 2006, and it was one of my first articles I posted on Ezine Articles.com. Over the next 2-3 weeks, the piece was going nowhere...stagnant...not many hits/views...stuck at the bottom of the ocean! Over the next month, I did what I could for the "basket case" so there was nothing more I could do for the patient. All I could do, was to watch it die on the vine! All the other articles I wrote during this time, would pass Weight Loss: How I Lost 38 Pounds and kick sand in its face! It was my 97 pound weakling...my little basket case! And, then in September, (2006) sometime, the piece started to move out of the basement and show some life! Needless to say, I was happy about this. It started to take baby steps on its move up the ladder of my article list! Ever so slowly, it continued to move up! Week after week, I kept an eye on it as it moved upward, and by November, 2006, it had reached the top ten of my portfolio of articles! I was amazed! And then it happened in December, 2006, as it continued to march up the list, and on December 28, 2006, it took the lead (456 views) and knocked SOS! My Serious and Silly Articles from the TOP SPOT! It took nearly five months to get to the top! Amazing! YAHOO! UPDATE: 1/22/07: This piece has taken a 155 point (hit) lead over my second place article, and is running away with the pack! Yahoooooo!

Resolving Children's Separation Anxiety

By James Krehbiel When I was working as an elementary school counselor, I had a parent who brought her second grader to me due to an excessive fear of attending school. The mother would drive the youngster to school because the child was afraid to take the school bus and dreaded attending class. The child would ask to leave class frequently due to stomach aches and would be sent to the nurses office. After visiting the nurse, the child would get on the phone and plead with her mother to come to the school and take her home. Frequently, the mother would feel sorry for her daughter and consent to pick her up from school and take her home for the day. Then the process of fear and anticipatory anxiety would cycle as the child reluctantly prepared for the next day of school. What I have described is not an uncommon scenario. Often, children experience separation anxiety during the process of facing everyday tasks. The pattern starts with the child avoiding a task involving self-reliance and culminates with the child developing increased fear and anxiety due to persistent detachment from the event. A cycle of separation anxiety emerges out of the childs need to cling dependently to a parent and resist age-appropriate self-directed behavior. Like the second grader who finally made it to my office for assistance, most children experiencing separation anxiety complain of somatic symptoms. Their emotional conflict gets played out as physical ailments such as headaches, stomach aches, heart-palpitations, sweating, and labored breathing which creates hyperventilation. These conversion symptoms will then become the primary focus for the child and/or parent, and will be used as an excuse for avoiding specific socially appropriate behaviors. The key to managing separation anxiety involves changing the interactional pattern for the child and family. What are some factors that intensify the problem of separation anxiety and what can be done about it? Anxious, enabling adults promote dependent children. Never show that you are afraid for your children when they are placed into new responsibilities. If you take your child to daycare, drop him off and leave promptly! If your child displays fear about another familiar adult touching or holding him, back off and give your child an opportunity to get acclimated. If your child calls home because she is school phobic, let the school handle the problem without interference. Couples who have a strained relationship will often triangulate with their child. This means that one partner may use the child to meet her own needs. I have counseled couples whose relationship was so impaired that a child was permitted to sleep in the parents bed as a general routine. A parent will excuse this behavior, devoid of appropriate boundaries, as normal nurturing. In divorce situations, a parent may dependently cling to a child as a way of assuaging guild or calming psychic pain. The parent may also use the child as a pawn in the nasty game of manipulation directed toward the ex-partner. This pattern creates dependency and conflict within the child. Separation anxiety is typically the byproduct of a family system where the parents are overly-protective, anxious, and needy. They are continuously worried or fearful for their children. They protect them from new experiences, frustration, and pain. They are scared to let their children feel afraid or experience disappointment and mistakes. In the process of trying to keep them out of harms way, they compound the problem by actually placing their children in greater emotional jeopardy. Unknowingly, they teach their children that people and life are not to be trusted and that their children need to be protected by their parents. Here are some ideas on what can be done to alter the pattern of separation anxiety: Permit your children to launch out and experience new adventures and activities. Dont let your childrens fear keep you from nudging them into the new experiences. Risk-taking is an important quality in the process of developing independence and confidence. Dont let your children off the hook when they have misbehaved. Let them experience the logical consequences of their actions. Let your children learn through failure, mistakes, and disappointment. Trying to protect your children from the inevitability of lifes imperfections will make them feel more incompetent. Never use your kids to meet your own emotional needs. They will learn to resent it and will feel trapped by their need to support you. Be firm about your limits when it comes to children managing their anxiety. Dont rescue them from moving forward in spite of fear no matter how difficult it may be for you to observe their struggles. Dont let anxious children pick up cues that you are fearful for them. Maintain a certain degree of detachment when your children experience psychological pain. Dont get hooked into your childrens temper tantrums. Remove yourself from their negative behavior - it will eventually diminish. Parents may need counseling assistance in order to learn new ways of responding to a child who uses fear and anger as a method of avoiding social contact. For parents, changing interactional patterns will take time, patience and determination. At first, you can expect a counter-reaction from your child. He will bulk at the changes that you are trying to establish by intensifying his sense of helplessness. Stay firm and consistent and your child will eventually get on board. Remember that the goal of parenting is to develop children who are ultimately self-confident and independent. James P.

Our Fat Loss Crusade

By Aaron Meredith We have been best friends since the first grade. Growing up we did everything together. We went to school together, played in the band together, played video games together, and unfortunately, got fat together. The truth is in our adolescent years, we didnt have any other friends as we were alienated from the rest of our peers. Why was this the case you may wonder? Plain and simple, because WE WERE FAT. We were ridiculed and harassed about out weight and the punch line to fat jokes. It was a painful time of our lives that hurt each of us deeply. The one thing we both had was each other and we resolved that we would always stick together. After being overweight and ridiculed throughout our adolescence, we made a pact that we had had enough and that we were going to lose the weight and never be the subject of another fat joke again for as long as we shall live. So began our mission: To lose the weight and fat that had been the source of so much pain and heartache for the last 6 years. Whether its 80 minute abs, a brand new fat loss pill that will also cure cancer, or something else, weve all seen the fantastic claims people make about losing tons of weight, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. The sad thing is 99% of these people are total frauds. We are sure that if you are reading this you have probably fallen prey to one of them, selling you their latest lose weight quick and easy programs. Us too. Combined the two of us have brought into at least $5,000 worth of programs and received minimal or no results at all. We dont know why, but for some odd reason we tend to find the good in people, and we were tricked by these marketing schemes to purchase their products, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after so many disappointments, WE got FED UP. We decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we all have with losing weight, and find out if there really were any LEGITIMATE programs for losing weight. We were convinced that 99% of these weight loss gurus were interested only in the money in your pocket so we decided to conduct a study. We contacted over 50 administrators of every weight loss program website. Posing as an investor, we told the owners we were interested in buying their entire business, website and all. That way, once the dollar signs flashed in their heads, they would not hesitate giving us access to whatever we wanted, mostly we were interested in the members area. We were absolutely APPALLED with what we found. Many of the owners actually bragged about how many people brought their useless programs and supplements. We repeatedly found: Information errors Dead website links Links to other sites that wanted your money Minimal help section Virtually zero email support We quickly realized that these so-called BURN FAT QUICK programs were totally useless. And the sad thing is these owners didnt care, the got their money and thats all they wanted! Surprisingly, while searching through all of the useless websites, we were able to locate a couple of individuals that actually ran legitimate programs. The owners were every day people like you and med that found a way for anyone to apply the technique in their programs to lose weight. Their membership areas were impressive, with a good amount of quality information on how people of all walks are losing weight. We even chatted with a few of their customers in several online forums, and they verified they were losing weight. We decided that each of us would try one of the programs and verify for ourselves. We were very skeptical as we had been in the same position and had these same feelings the many times before. Both programs that we were looking at offered MONEY BACK GUARANTEES. We figured we had nothing to lose and if there was a money back guarantee in place, it must work or we could just get our money back. We each applied what we learned in the programs. What happened was truly LIFE CHANGING. When we say life changing we truly mean it as our lives are never again going to be the same. We are no longer fat and will never be fat again. Below are our reviews of the 2 programs that changed our lives. It took a lot work and a little bit of time to get to where we wanted to be but the results are well worth it (of course it was going to take time b/c we had a lot of weight to lose.) WE CAN HONESTLY AND FAITHFULLY SAY THAT IF YOU PUT THESE PROGRAMS TO THE TEST AND DO WHAT THEY SAY, YOU CAN AND WILL LOSE BURN FAT AND LOSE WEIGHT. It is our hope that you will no longer waste your hard earned money and valuable time on products and services that hype you up and let you down. Whatever you choose to do, dont say we didnt warn you. We wish you success and may you become slim and trim like us. Good luck. Lose Weight, Signed, Aaron and Matt copywrite 2007 Fat Loss Crusade We began our fat loss crusade together and now we want to help others achieve the same results we did.

Know your Man: Chores

By Maria Moratto Q: How many men does it take to change a toilet roll? A: We don't know. Never happens. They will certainly, most of the time, take the trash out. But they will only do it when they are ready, meaning, after the game is over, or when they come home from golf, or when they finish washing the car or whatever it is that their mind is engaged at the moment. Ditto for mowing the lawn, doing yard work, changing the light bulb, fixing the drain, etc. There is truly no need to keeping repeating what they need to do, for they can hear well. If we cant wait for them to do the chore, we should do it ourselves, or find someone else to do it for us. It is also all right to totally forget to do it, if you honestly forget. Trust me, if she really wants something done so badly, she will do it herself, or she will ask one of your children. Alex, my son, has some chores to do in the house, such as taking the trash and the recycling out, cleaning the litter box, or vacuuming. Some times he forgets to do one or the other, in which case, I do them myself, except for vacuuming, as I have a convenient allergy for dust. Does it make me mad when he forgets? Perhaps. I like a clean carpet, for instance. But I have learned to understand his concept of time. I try not to make him feel guilty when he sees he has not done his part; more often than not he will not even recall my request. It is not the end of the world, really. A joke for you: The power mower was broken and wouldn't run, and the wife kept hinting to her husband that he should get it fixed, but somehow the message never sank in. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When her husband arrived home one day, he found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched for a short time and then went into the house. He was gone only a few moments. When he came out again, he handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalks." The doctors say he will probably walk again, but he will always limp. A Word of Advice: Ladies: Let it go, please. If necessary, do what needs to be done yourself. It is better than to enter in a battle in which there are no winners. Gents: Make sure to comply with the request but dont, in any circumstances allow nagging. If there is nagging, leave the house at once, or go watch TV, if it doesnt bother you.

3 Way to Grow Thin by Eating More

By Sherry Kollar You have probably heard or know someone that eats all the time, but are so thin. In fact, they probably eat things that you love, but you don't eat because just looking at chocolate adds it to your hips. How about this saying....In the Lips and On the Hips. Thin people are thin because they eat lots of small meals each day. I have interviewed many thin people and asked them their secrets. Most of them tell me they do not have any secrets to staying thin. One thin acquaintance of mine told me that she has never sat down to a large meal and if she does she eats a little and pushes her food around her plate. Tip #1: Decide to eat several small meals or snacks a day. Eat every two to three hours, but must be small. I have set up a schedule where I force myself to eat every two hours. I am so full by 6pm that I do not want to eat another bite of food. Being thin does take work, but eat more and let your body to the work for you. Tip #2: Put healthy snacks at your desk. A handful of almonds are great for a snack. Divide your snacks or meals into fist size portions and put those portions in a baggie. How about a piece of chocolate candy at 2pm. You will be amazed at how you feel and also that you will begin to melt the weight off. Usually thin people love chocolate candy and they do eat it. They do not eat the whole box or bag of chips. Tip #3: Try this thin eating for 21 days and I believe you will be eating more but weigh less and less. Eat more and be thin. I know this has worked for me. Be thin and enjoy eating more. by Sherry Kollar Sherry knows what it is like to be thin and fat. I am happy to say that thin is much better. I also mentioned that I did drink shakes or juice for a meal. Check out my site that can help you to get a kick start to better eating and enjoying it.

Hot Dating Tips For Men #9/28

By Scott Holland Hot Dating Tip #9: Be friends. Make some women your friends - but not the ones you are really interested in. Women tend to be more person-centred than men - they love to have lots of friends - and you should have some women as friends for that reason: they will introduce you to their women friends! But beware of being too much a friend with women you really have other feelings for. Once a woman has you listed as 'friend', that's where they will want to keep you - they hate losing their friends and may be afraid that once they step over the 'lover line' with you, that's what may happen. Sad to say, it often does. It is not impossible to 'convert' a woman from friend to lover, but it's not easy. You have to change the way she thinks about you from 'Mr Nice and Reliable' to 'Mr Exciting and Attractive'. That means behaving differently towards her, without letting her think you have flipped out or become certifiably deranged. Much easier to figure out early on who has the hottest friends, and keep the 'friend' thing and the 'lover' thing separate. The other great thing about women as friends is that you can be seen out with them, which instantly makes you more attractive to other women. If you are seen out on your own too often, you could start to look like a loser. Scott Holland is the author of "How to Overcome Shyness and Find the Woman of Your Dreams".

Sport Fishing Kenya Tour - Big Game Fish: Sport Fish Kenya Fishing Tour

By Robert Muhoho The marlin fish caught in Kenya big game sport fishing can weigh anywhere from a 100lb to well over 1000lb, indeed the heavies fish ever caught on rod and line in Kenyan waters was a 1,248lb blue marlin caught on march 1995 aboard the Kingfisher boat Neptune out of Malindi. This humongous great fish is displayed along with many other fish for all to admire on the walls of the Malindi Sea fishing Club (MSFC). The MSFC is a truly wonderful place, steeped in angling history, where not surprisingly the conversation is invariably of fish, fishing and fishermen, and where they make what is undoubtedly the finest prawn curry in the world! Nocturnal Broadbill sword fish There are barely a handful of destinations scattered around the world where that most elusive member of the billfish clan, the nocturnal broadbill swordfish is regularly caught; Kenya is probably the best, fishing for these elusive fish involves an overnight trip, which in itself is a wonderful experience. Broadbill are caught year round but the prime time is generally regarded as being January-March when the seas offshore are generally at their calmest. Boats target broadbill out of Malindi, Watamu and Shimoni, often on extended 30-hour trips to distant areas such a the legendary North Kenya Banks, and often it is during the daytime on these trips that anglers encounter outstanding sport marlin, large tuna and many other species. The giant Trevally In recent years the giant Trevally has become something of a cult angling species, and yet again Kenya offers the visiting angler an excellent chance of doing battle with this immensely powerful members of the jack family. Giant trevally, or GTs are commonly known to live over reefs and banks, often in large shoals of fish that can include individual specimens in excess of 100lb. A few years back it was the early part of the season that was considered prime GT time, but in recent years exceptional fishing has been experienced through out the entire season, almost certainly as a direct result of a significantly increased amount of angling effort specifically targeting trevally that these days are tagged and released. Over a dozen other species of trevally can be caught in Kenyan waters. The yellow fin tuna Tuna notably the yellow fin tuna found in such abundance off the coast of Kenya are one of the strongest fish in the sea; guaranteed to raise a sweat on the brow of even the fittest angler! School size yellow fin tuna, fish from 10-40lb, can be caught through out the season, usually in abundance and occasionally in such numbers that they can even become a nuisance when attempting to target other species, but at such times, you are guaranteed an action packed day followed by a plate of the finest sushi! The biggest yellow fin tuna, fish that in recent years have included specimens to over 220lb, have appeared in August and September, but be warned, fighting these brutally strong fish is certainly not for the unfit or faint hearted! Several other species of Tuna can also be caught in these waters including skip jack, long tail, big eye and kawa- kawa- the eastern little tunny that are widely referred to as bonito. Tiger and Mako sharks Many species of shark can be encountered off the Kenyan coast, but in recent years it is the fearsome tiger shark that has attracted most attention from anglers. A sizeable population of tiger sharks has been located off Watamu and when these fish are in feeding mode, which is more often than not, hooking one, can almost be described as a formality; successfully playing a hooked tiger shark to the boat to be tagged and released is entirely another matter! These wonderful apex predators average from 300-800lb but many 1,000lb plus specimen are caught, tagged and released each season. Giant bull sharks of similar proportions are also occasionally encountered and while mush rarer, the much prized mako shark is another species that is occasionally encountered by anglers fishing off Kenya. In addition to the major species listed above, a days offshore fishing in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa will almost invariably produce many other species including highly sought after species such as the incredibly fast Wahoo, the gloriously coloured and sweet tasting dorado or felusi as its known in Swahili, and lets not forget the large snapper and grouper that can be caught fishing baits or lures near the bottom. Two species of barracuda, king mackerel-known as kingfish, cobia, rainbow runner and many others can all be encountered on a typical days fishing off Kenya. Journals of an avid angler I have fished in this wonderful; country for over 10 years, during which time Ive made some 16 trips to the coast averaging four-five days fishing per visit, thats around 70 days fishing off the Kenyan Coast. Sure Ive had a few quiet days but Ive never had a day when Ive caught nothing, while on other days Ive almost wished the fish would go off the feed to give me a rest! Each year I fish extensively around the would, frequently visiting exotic countries and enjoying world class sports fishing, but Kenya remains my all time ultimate angling destination. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, were I ever restricted to fishing just one week a year in tropical waters, then I would not hesitate in choosing Kenya as a destination. If nothing else, the prospects of a plate of curried prawns at the Malindi Sea Fishing Club and an icy cold beer or two would be sufficient to bring me back.
