A Good King Fish

A Good King Fish. Offshore Fishing Report – 6 August 2019 Winter Fishing has been carrying on and we have done a fair amount of kiddies trips too. Over the weekend I saw the first Yellow Billed Kite and so we are expecting the Tuna to appear soon and before long we will be back into Game Fish season. Water was very cold averaging at 19.3 deg.C and we had some good catches of Bonito and Sarda Sarda, bottom fishing was tough with a very strong S-N current. This was a trip to remember as about 2 hours into our trip we hooked up into a very nice size King Fish on tight tackle which gave a TLD 15 a good run for its money and the line a really good stretch. This is not a fish we often catch here and so a really memorable catch. www.bluewatercharters.co.za

Family Fishing Trip

Family Fishing Trip. Offshore Fishing Report – 30 June 2019 We had 3 families on Fat Girl for a short morning charter. Conditions were stunning with light winds, flat seas and a slow current. No Bonnies or Tuna around yet, guess they are hanging around the sardines at the moment. Bottom fishing was great with a lot of fish caught by some very enthusiastic young men. A wide variety of species too, Slinger, Soldiers, Englishmen, Bronze Bream, Stumpy, Black Tail, Sea Barbel and even some Mackerel. We also got a large Toby that puffed up the size of a soccer ball and a very large Lion Fish which was an extremely interesting catch. Loads of fun with fathers and sons having a blast. The sons definitely out fished the dads on this trip. www.bluewatercharters.co.za

Fathers and Sons Fishing

Fathers and Sons Fishing. Offshore Fishing Report – 25 June 2019 We had 2 families on the boat for a short morning charter. Water is very cold and under 20deg.C and we had a screaming reverse current. The cold water is a good sign for those awaiting the arrival of the sardines as usually when it drops under 20deg.C it means they are on their way. We struggled to get our baits down in the screaming current and we only got one drop on the mark and had to continuously reposition after every drop to stay on point...Read More

Good Fishing Today

Good fishing today Offshore Fishing Report – 23 June 2019 We had an upcountry couple with us on a short charter today, conditions were really nice with a moderate SW wind and seas were nice and flat. The water has got cold now and sits under 20 deg.C and we had a relatively strong reverse current which made bottom fishing a little difficult. On the way out we hook up into a nice Bonnie and shortly after we hooked up and Albatross, once we sorted him out and got him back flying we stopped and did bottoms. I have to say that the squawk of the Albatross sort of sound like the ratchet of a Tyrnos 30. Bottom fishing was really good even in the stronger current and we got some really nice Slinger, Englishman and Copper Bream, every drop was a good fish...Read More

Family Fishing Fun

Family Fishing Fun Offshore Fishing Report – 17 June 2019 Today we took 2 families out today on Fat Girl and Nawty Girl. Water temps are sitting around 21 deg.C. Bottom fishing was good with lots of nice Slinger and Soldiers coming out, also some Rockod and Sea Barbel. The kiddies had so much fun today, every drop was a fish and once we had enough fish we tried trolling for Tuna or Bonito with Nawty Girl getting 3 Bonnies and Fat Girl 1. I love taking families with kiddies out and sharing the ocean with them. A great day today, with awesome conditions. www.bluewatercharters.co.za

Good Slinger Fishing

Good Slinger Fishing Offshore Fishing Report – 15 June 2019 The water is getting cold averaging just over 21 deg.C. What a cracker of a day with stunning conditions. We got some nice Slinger today and before we knew it we had our Slinger quota, we then tried for other species and manage a good array with some Englishman, Soldier Bream, False Englisman, Tomato Rockod and a few others, catching these bottoms on our Shimano Saragosa/Trevala rigs is such a pleasure and awesome fun. After we had almost full quota we still had some time left on our charter so we tried trolling for a Tuna or a Bonnie, we got no Tuna but managed 1 x Bonnie of about 3Kg. A great mornings fishing trip. www.bluewatercharters.co.za
