Amberjack!

Shoals of Amberjack in the 10kg class have been swarming the points like Da Rocha and Barra.
The market is full of these awesome fighting fish – the local spearos are having a blast.

This pic is not from here, but from Hibberdene on the KZN South Coast where some of the biggest Amberjack in the world hide out.

Sean,

Something for the sardine…

We just had our first charter with Michael Wright from the States. The water is still on the colder side and there is not much bait or birds around and surface activity was almost nil. To top it off we had horrible weather for all 5 days, especially the last 3 when the swell was over 3 meters. We did raise 4 Black Marlin and hooked two up to 400 pounds, unfortunately both fish pulled the hooks.
The sharks were also all over the place and we hooked a few hammerheads, Zambezi´s and dusky´s on most of the live baits we used. We did catch some YFT, dorado and skipjack and especially some BIG wahoo up to 30 kg´s to make up for the slow fishing.

The water should start to warm up and the bite should fire up within the next couple of weeks…

Cheers mate,

Duarte

Stormy days…

The view out to sea from Dinos Beach Bar. The second day of the cold front keeping us ashore yet again.

On the good days you can see whales breeching and if you are really lucky you can see Dolphins, and Manta’s from the verandah here right on Tofo Beach.  There have been an exceptional amout of whales in the area the past few weeks…

Hopefully this new cold front will finally bring somes waves surf in the long wave-forgotten Inhambane area.
