...eight-week getaway, Glen and Carol Mowatt, from Lake Macquarie, N.S.W., are "dead-set fishers." They've camped at Eighty Mile Beach before, and are hoping to fill their portable freezer with goodies such as the delicious but hard-to-catch threadfin salmon. Glen, a tanned and trim 62-year-old who still works as a carpenter, keeps an eye on the charts, goes to fish two hours before full tide, and stays for an hour after its peak.

...message for the general election. Last June, 16 months before voting day, he showed up in his first campaign ad, talking about the importance of supporting the troops in Iraq. Ford--who campaigns in a biodiesel-fueled Ford F-250 pickup--has run ads asking, "Fed up when you fill up?" He was one of the first candidates in the country to run TV spots criticizing the Bush Administration's approval of a deal--since dropped--to allow a Dubai company to run operations at some U.S. ports...
