Barnacle's Fishing Career in Doubt

Is Barnacle Barry's fishing career washed up?  Some would say yes.  His last fishing book was a very poor effort - selling only 10 copies (9 were bought by Barnacle himself).  The Manning Point Classic could be his last chance to redeem himself, assuming he can keep off the grog.  His long time rival, Mangrove, will be working hard to lead Barnacle astray and is rumoured to have bribed Big Rig into bringing as much beer as Greenhills liquor shop can provide.

Lets hope this once great fisherman can keep focussed and begin his long trek back to being the big fish.
