Wahooooooooo!!!
September is know for the arrival of many big wahoo around the Bazaruto archipelago and even tough we are certainly having a late start to the season and conditions have not been what we are used to this time of the year some of these fast speedster’s have showed up giving some great fun.
Biggest caught so far was 31kg and we have had a numerous fish pass the 25 kilo mark…
Keith Cooke and Jose Rungu joined me on a hunt out deep yesterday. We were searching for a yellowfin for bait when after 2 hours a rod screamed and a yellowfin it was. But a big one (for these waters) gave us the gears, tangling everything in the rough seas and strong wind. And certainly too big for bait.
But there was no sign of the 5kg bait size tuna that have been so prolific lately. And not a bird in sight. Unless you count tunny ducks (Gannets) diving into the depths after the sardines and another baitfish around the Barra mouth area.
Then on our way into the shallows to try for a couta, a dorado jumped on a black feather at the back of a daisy chain. Jose Rungu made short of work of it and as got into 5m of water, we got our couta!
