Bazaruto Marlin
Bazaruto Marlin
Just to feature once again – the most incredible photography by Captain Duarte Rato, as he chases down billfish through the summer season, off Bazaruto Island.
Again, it was another surprisingly consistent season and even in the face of hectic weather most of the time, the tallies of tagged and released marlin swimming around off Baz are way up there.
At the moment, Inhambane is being battered by very strong swells whipped straight at us by the tropical storm / cyclone hanging off Madagascar. It is travelling in the right direction to keep compounding the swell and by the next dark moon spring tide, the line ups will be very interesting indeed. The fish are active in the wild surf zone with kingfish smashing baitballs right in amongst the bathers at Praia do Tofo.

Two KZN south coast anglers, Koos Viviers and Dave Sproston (now in Plettenberg Bay) have something fishy in common. Dave tagged a catface rockod three years ago, and Koos recently re-caught it. Koos found the tag and submitted it to the Oceanographic Research Institute. The details are below:
