Tuna on the bite today - Great fun on light tackle
Tuna on the bite
today - Great fun on light tackle
Fishing Report – Durban – 15.04.2018
We launched this morning at 06h00 for a short 5hr charter
and hoped it would not rain, we had to dodge one rain cloud and so had a
stunning day today, water was clean and warm. The plan was to try for a short
while for some Game fish on the light Shimano Tyrnos tackle and if nothing took
a lure then we would go do some bottom fishing. The Tuna had their own plans
for us and we had non-stop Tuna action for most of the trip with 14 hook ups
and landing 9 Yellowfin Tuna for the day. The one Tuna screamed off and took us
into the backing, we thought it was a big fish; then it rushed the boat,
perhaps a shark was after it and it was not as big as the fight it gave.
Another one we thought came off but to our surprise it was there well hooked on
the Rapala X Rap 40 which got many of the Tuna today. The sea was awesome and
the fishing was really fun today.

Good Tuna and Wahoo
Good Tuna and
Wahoo
Fishing Report – Durban – 13.04.2018
We launched this morning into a strong NE wind that the
forecast said would die out early and the day was supposed to be stunning, but
it did not happen and the NE got stronger and only died out late afternoon, water
was green and water temperature is coming down. None the less we got some good fish
with a decent Wahoo and 1 smaller and 1 larger Yellowfin Tuna.

Fishing Report – Durban – 11.04.2018
We launched later to try avoid the rain and the wind but
the forecast was out and so we had a wet and windy day fishing with some
showers that passed by 3 times during the trip. Before we even launched my
Costa Sunglasses fell off my head into the Marina and I had to dive down to get
them as I was not going to accept losing them, and so my day started out wet,
then the sun peaked out and the wind died and we thought what a glorious day
this will be, we were wrong. We got out and set a spread and then the wind
started blowing, fortunately it was a long period swell and so even in a strong
wind the sea was comfortable with a big boat like Fat Girl. We trolled for
about 2.5-3hrs but there was no sign of any game fish and so we came in to fish
shallow in the 40m as the current was screaming. 1st down and 4 rods
got bent and we got some Slinger and so the day went on with Slinger, Snapper,
Soldier Bream, Trigger Fish and Rockod being caught. These boys out fished their
parents by a long way and got a fair amount of fish with some good sizes and
had a blast really enjoying the fishing. The highlight of the day was when the
2 youngest simultaneously had a good hook up, each landing nice sized Remora’s
which made them work hard for their prize, it was a treat to watch them
struggle and fight these fish up with all their might. In the end the whole family
had a great day out with a lot of fun even though there was a little rain from
time to time.

Black Marlin 3-2-1 - Released
Black Marlin 3-2-1
- Released
Fishing Report – Durban – 09.04.2018
What a day we had today, we launched this morning to look
for a Marlin into a 12knot NE wind which just got stronger as the day went on
until it peaked at about 28knots. Water was warm and light green. We headed about
70km out to our selected grounds and then turned and headed back. On the way
out we hooked up a Dorado early but it came off on the jump after a short fight,
then it was quiet for some time until we turned and just after we turned we had
a small Marlin hook up and after 15 minutes it came off on the jump, we reset
our spread and we had a Dorado take the line and again it came off on the jump
much to all of our frustration, 3 fish off. Again we set the spread and
continued in a following sea that was getting bigger as the wind was picking up
and the Shimano Tiagra went off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and this time after the jumps
it stayed and after about a 20 minute fight we landed a small Black Marlin, as
it was small we took the fish out for a pic and afterwards released it safely
back into the water. We reset the spread and it was not long before we had a
third small Marlin strike but it did not get the hook leaving us with a 3-2-1
tally. 3 Marlin Strikes, 2 Hook Ups, 1 Landed and Released. Frustrating to lose
so many fish in one day but ecstatic we got the Marlin we set out for. Well
done Bob on your first Marlin ever and your new personal best big fish.
