We had 2 trips this weekend spending a total of 14hrs out
at sea, the sea was a flat as a pancake, and we found water up to 26.5deg.C.
The water was blue out in the deep but full of particles and fishing was hard.
We managed a nice Wahoo, and caught a fair amount of small Yellowfin Tuna and
Oceanic Bonito. We also had a small Blue Marlin on but he came off the hook
when I was leadering him and he jumped.

The Three Tunas and the Big One
We had 2 trips yesterday, on the morning trip we launched
into some large swells almost 5m, but they were far spaced and the sea was
comfortable, within 30 minutes the swells subsided and the sea went flat. The
warm water has moved right in, but it is green and seems to be void of fish so
we headed out deeper and we managed 3 nice sized Yellowfin Tuna, the largest
being 15Kg.
We launched in the afternoon for a second trip and as per
our 1st trip we headed out deeper, the sea was quiet and I saw no
birds or baitfish activity, and then BANG the shot gun rigger went and the rod
bent flat and we were on. After a 30 minute battle we were rewarded with a very
large Yellowfin Tuna of 37Kg on 50lb tackle.

2013 Holidays Fishing Report - Durban
We have been so busy the past season, and I have not even
had a chance to put a report together as we have been fishing every day and
mostly 2 trips a day, I am very tired and am going to enjoy resting over the
next two days with bad weather and then we start next week running again with
several bookings and two trips a day.
I would like to wish everyone for 2014, and may you
prosper and find peace and joy.
The fishing has been hard, with the early part of the
holidays having some choppy seas, then the sea went flat and the water went
green and eventually brown, and then the warm blue water started coming in from
the deep.
The Wahoo fishing this season has been phenomenal and we
have caught more Wahoo than Dorado which is normally not the case, we lost a
massive Wahoo estimated at over 25Kg to a Shark, much to the dismay of our
clients, we also lost a lot of Tuna to the Sharks which is very frustrating. We
also dropped 2 Marlin, one on light tackle that took a feather and we ran out
of line on the reel, and another that had its bill wrapped on the leader and
never got the hook.
We did well with Dorado even though we got a lot of
Wahoo, with a stunning 18Kg Bull being the best Dorado for the season thus far.
The Tuna are still around and we virtually get them on every trip.
The water is starting to look awesome now and I think the
next 2 months will bring us some good Game Fish and Marlin.
