Jason Heyne get’s his sailfish on Aliwal
Just in from Jason Heyne down the south coast of KZN, happily reporting his sailfish.
Epic conditions on the shoal today – lost two cracker wahoo – these fish continue to elude me. At the moment the score is Wahoo 6, and me 0. One came in close of deep Scotties and I got a broadside shot in garrick style. Aimed middle and the fish spooked on the trigger so the shot went high and the ‘hoo just shook it off and showed me a zap.
Dave Adworth got well worked over by a 200kg plus black marlin that bust him up proper. Took his gun and everything. Meanwhile his dive partner Chad shot three wahoo from 15kgs to 27kgs.
At 06h30 there were eight boats around us, by 08h00 there were twenty!
But the wahoo still hung around in amongst all the traffic.
Then the fishermen left as they couldnt make any bait, Mark de la Hay and all the other pros scratching their heads.
Then right in the middle of all this I plonked my saily. It went on a grand tail walking show in and around the boats with anglers watching on.
Thanks Jason! Keep up the good work!
