A Big Honeycomb Skate in the Harbour

A Big Honeycomb Skate in the Harbour

A Big Honeycomb Skate in the Harbour. Fishing Report – Durban – 12.01.2018 We had two 5 hour harbour trips and had some great fun, catching a bunch of small Hammer Head Sharks which are such great fun to catch on light spinning tackle, a variety of other fish species, a large Gurnard and a good size Rockod. The highlight of the day was a very large Honeycomb Skate which took 1hr20 min to land on light tackle. We did not boat the Skate, we kept it in the water and released it. All other fish caught were also released. www.bluewatercharters.co.za

Black Marlin Afternoon

Black Marlin Afternoon

Black Marlin Afternoon. Marlin Report – Durban – 10.01.2018 We had a 5hr trip and left at noon (12h00), 38 minutes into the trip we had a massive bonnie on deck. The water was purple, crystal clear and 27deg.C, we had a light SE wind blowing and a 2.5m swell. Conditions were perfect. 1 hour into the trip as I had just reached the area I had thought would be the spot; the inside port rigger elastic popped and the Tiagra began to sing that wonderful Marlin tune. ZZZZZZZ...ZZZZZZZZZ. The fish took about 600m of line before we managed to turn it and we were well into the backing. After a 1hr 40 minute fight we had a Black Marlin at the boat...

Wahoo Again

Wahoo Again

Wahoo Again... Fishing Report – Durban – 08.01.2018 We had a 5hr trip and left early to try get some fishing in before the west came through, water was warm and over 27deg C. and it was stunning purple water out in the deep, probably too warm to get any fish, inshore the water was also a stunning purple but a little cooler and we managed a really king size Bonnie which reminds me that we have not caught any Bonnies for quite some time let alone a big one, a little while later the Rapala X Rap 40 running on one of the lighter rods went of and the Tyrnos 30 was singing landing us a good Wahoo. We also had a strike on the shot gun from something big, perhaps a Black Marlin or a large Wahoo, not sure never saw what it was...

Wahoo Account opened for 2018. Fishing Report – Durban – 06.01.2018 The conditions have been improving and there is a lot of clean warm water around, especially out in the deep. Inshore has been very quiet and we have had to travel a fair distance to get fish. Early in the trip we hooked up with a nice Dorado and then later on we had a double Wahoo strike landing one and dropping a bigger one at the boat. www.bluewatercharters.co.za
