Fisherman spots unusual phenomenon near buoy 12km off Aussie coastline: 'Not normal'
Heading out on a fishing charter on Wednesday off the coast of Kiama, NSW, Nick Moulas noticed something unusual on his fish finder. The sonar instrument helps to detect fish, but it was the temperature reading that got his attention. It was showing 27.1 degrees – roughly 2.5 to 3 degrees about average. While it may not sound like a huge increase, the warm temperature is rarely seen in waters that far south and can result in drastic changes for fishermen. 'It is very hot,' Nick told Yahoo News. 'A lot of people haven't seen it like that, that close to shore. We commonly get 25, maybe 26 out a little bit further. So if you get it in that close, it's not normal." As the owner of Shell Cove Fishing Charters, he was taking clients out for a day of fishing and stopped briefly at the Kiama Fish Aggregating Device (FAD). The buoy is anchored 12km offshore with the purpose of attracting fish, making it a popular spot for boaters. 'Out a little bit further (past the FAD) we had 27.6, I think that's about the hottest I've seen since I've been fishing out here,' he said. Weatherzone meteorologist Quincy Tut agreed it's not a common occurrence. 'It's definitely unusual, it's definitely not something that you normally see,' he said. Warmer sea temperatures bring tropical species of fish further south to places that don't usually see them. The same day that Nick spotted the 27.1 degree reading, one of his clients on the charter landed an incredible catch that left everyone onboard excited. 'We caught a wahoo in 20m of water, which is unheard of down here, which was pretty cool,' he said. 'We caught that pretty much right on the tip of Bass Point so it's the first one I've ever heard of and everyone I've spoken to says it's the first one they've ever heard of,' he said, adding the warm waters were '100 per cent' the reason behind the rare catch. The warmer waters can also extend Nick's fishing season. He normally targets marlin until about the end of April when it starts getting cooler. 'The longer the warm water stays – if it stays around 23, 24 degrees – we should have marlin right up til June which would be great,' he said. 'If they can stay for another six weeks or so it'd be great for business.' The Kiama FAD is one of 38 FADs placed along the NSW coastline and sits in the East Australian Current (EAC). Tut said the higher temps could be due to a combination of things, including the EAC, climate drivers like La Niña, and climate change. The EAC drags warm water down south with its current, while Australia as a whole has recently registered five months of record-breaking ocean temperatures. Rising sea surface temperatures are one of biggest indicators of climate change. 'Waters were, globally, the warmest on record in 2024, that's something that's been quite significant,' Tut said. 'The stronger easterly currents along the equator are pushing that warm water towards Australia, that's contributing as well. 'If you picture Australia in the middle of two basins, the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, the way that the waters are moving, it's maintaining that warm pool of water surrounding Australia. That's the simplest way I can put it,' he said. Do you have a story tip? Email: newsroomau@ You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

Man accused of killing his girlfriend in late January stabbing
A man is charged with killing his girlfriend after he reported it to Milwaukee police almost three weeks after she died. Serkan Akcilad, 22, is charged with first-degree reckless homicide of his girlfriend Silan Tut in late January on the 1300 block of North 10th Street. Prosecutors say authorities found evidence of a cover up in the two's shared apartment, but the man denied he harmed her in interviews. Tut's murder was not reported to police until Feb. 27, the day Akcilad told officers, and her death was confirmed by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office that day. The man is a Turkish national, like Tut, and when asked why he waited to report the death, he said he was unfamiliar with American laws, according to a criminal complaint outlining charges. Ackilad was scheduled for his initial court appearance on Wednesday morning. His cash bond was set at $1 million, according to online court records. According to the complaint: After Ackilad reported Tut's death, authorities investigated the apartment. They used blood detection equipment to find traces of blood throughout the apartment, including under a rug and other marks which indicated the body had been moved. Investigators concluded that "an extensive amount of blood had been cleaned up" from under the rug. In a search of the apartment, police found sneakers with blood on them; a box cutter in the dishwasher; and clothes with possible blood stains on them in the washing machine. Authorities would later find cleaning supplies and receipts that showed their purchase was made on Jan. 24. Store footage was later reviewed that confirmed Akcilad purchased the cleaning supplies that day. Officers interviewed two people at the apartment building, who both said they heard the two arguing. The day Akcilad reported Tut's death to police, he told officers he previously attempted to kill himself with a nail gun and had a nail in his head, which was removed at a local hospital. Officers interviewed him regarding the circumstances of Tut's death, but he denied cleaning supplies were purchased to cover up her killing or that he did it. He told authorities he found Tut dead in the apartment after he purchase the cleaning supplies and, upon finding her dead body, he passed out. Akcilad admitted he moved her body to the spot where she was found in the days before police searched the apartment, Officers did not find any sharp knives in the apartment and Akcilad confirmed the two had them but denied knowing where they were. Ackilad told officers the two were being evicted and he would not have reported the death had the apartment property company not been scheduled to look at the premises. He also admitted to impersonating Tut in text messages to her family, to suggest she was alive and well. Tut's death is one of 17 reported homicides to Milwaukee police so far this year. That's a 23% dip from last year at this date and down 35% from two years ago at this date. The Journal Sentinel previously investigated domestic violence homicides in Milwaukee County between 2016 to 2022 and found at least 178 deaths were related to it.
