Ox eye tarpon one of 5 species in 1 session in the Umzimkulu

Ox eye tarpon one of 5 species in 1 session in the Umzimkulu

Its been a helluva long weekend and we have been fishing flat out. And we, my guest Ben Scheepers and I, are so ultimately thankful, for yesterday.

Watch this!

You see, we caught nothing, the entire rest of the time!

Ok well not nothing, Cesar from Argentinia caught an Eel. Francois from Toti caught a blacktip kingfish. But otherwise, its been a long haul.

And then all this action went down!

So much adrenalin. Luckily my guest Ben has been around the block fishing and knew exactly what to do in all instances. He even grabbed the camera for when needed and shot all the tarpon footage in the video.

Ben is, as am I, well impressed by Daves Dirty Prawn Umzimkulu Special. This is the last photo taken of the one in the movie…

This was the last time we saw the Dirty Prawn ‘Umzimkulu Special’. After it caught a tarpon, a GT and a kob, it was devoured by a rock salmon.

We are running a special promotion due to all this chaos. The lure that caused it all is now included in the MYDO Estuary Pack available online and right here on the Sardine News.

The Dirty Prawn ‘Umzimkulu Special’ is hand-made by local pro David Phillips who has been perfecting these particular bucktail designs for three decades now. Dave has recently decided to join the fight against the importers and is proudly producing super high quality lures for the right prices, right here in KZN.

Available on their own, or as part of the super fun MYDO Estuary Pack available at a cool R300, including instructions!
