Guys will post asap but need to first catchup work on the farm:merm
Thanks DreamCatcher, guess everyone is anxiously waiting for them!!!
Got out there this morning with the Royston´s, my charter for the next 8 day´s. Forecast was looking bad with a massive cold front moving in around mid morning...so we decided to leave early and get a couple hours.
6h00am we set a 5 lure spread at V mile and all it took was 20 minutes for the LC smoker to smoke off to the races...

After T&R the fish we got a double and then a quadruple YFT strike and landed 5. Live baited two around 6 kg but the first was taken by a shark with half and hour and an hour later the second had the same faith. By now the wind was already blowing from the SE close to 30 knots and at 10am we made our way home.
Huge winds at the moment, don´t think we going to be ablke to go out there tomorrow ^^..

great picture of the airborne fish. Notice how the fins and tail look extremely disproportionate (sp?) to the rest of the body? Very cool.
Hawgdawg,
Nice thing you noticed that...I was just going to mention it and ask if anybody as any ideas / theory´s about it - just been discussing it with my charter. They did not only look disproportionate, the dorsal and tail on that fish were actually huge for that size fish. I have seen it before but not as so prominent as this one.
What do you think this is? I was just stupidly speculating::jest....could this be a fish that genetically has the tendency to grow a lot. I know this is far fetched but in the same line that a teenager with a large foot size is bound to grow really tall!!!
Anyway, enough of that as we got down to business again today...despite the stupid weather we fishermen are the eternal optimists and go to extremes to get those ladies with the big noses...
After being caught in that storm yesterday and the wind pumping through the night at over 30 knots, it was an easy collectively decision that today was a blowout and a lay-day. It was also obvious that when I met up with the Royston´s after breakfast this morning that they already were as land sick as I was !!!
Despite still being pretty strong and gusty the southerly seemed to ease down a tad around 11am and everyone agreed we would go round the corner and have a look if conditions were indeed fishable.
Surprisingly enough the sea was not as bad as we had predicted and at noon we had a 4 lure spread out at V mile. We picked up a couple wahoo in the first half hour but things went quiet as we tacked down sea towards the northern lighthouse area.
Just after 2h30pm we spotted some birds fairly shallow and after doing a deeper tack we turned inshore with the sea running on our aft quarter and as soon as we approached the mayhem....BANG, strike on the Short rigger Black & Orange WR and we hook up to a nice fish...

Hi Duarte it seems your "farm" is again very productive this year...enjoy.
Back to the CADSAS comp. I got hit by the 433 lbs while trying to leader the fish, smallest boat in comp with only 3 crew. Got lucky with the yft and caught all our fish on them. We caught this youngster on a halco:

We as a rule like to release all our fish but kept the fist one for the angler, :wfish
his first billfish, and the second nearly died and then the sharks showed up.:ssswim: We towed the fish away from the sharks but unfortunately it died while trying to revive it. Will later post a pic of a potential grander, caught by fellow competitors, that was mauled alive at the boat by sharks :X

Thanks for the photos and report dreamcatcher, that´s a cute little rat and a real pig. Please do post the pic of the potential grander. Do you know the measurements on the fish? Despite long slow hours with mayhem in between the charter with the Royston´s is going great and we have raised 6 for 5 strikes and 3 hookup´s and releases in the last 4 days. Today we went down to the Canyon and Dave (75 years old) hookup to a real slob on the #50W loaded with 80 pound line....

We had her on the wire for another 5 times within the next half hour but she would not bulge up…
At the 2h30 hour mark she started getting way to shallow so we used every trick in the book to try and get her of shark territory and make her swim deeper, losing a lot of time and momentum in the process.
Eventually after 4 hours we got the leader once again & this time brought her to the boat...

Hey Greg,
How´s the fishing been for you at Inhaca? Just spoke to my mates and apparently it´s on fire. can´t recall so many fish caught there ever.
There was a one day local competition and I know that Mon Ami released a 450 pound, Fourplay one around 350 lbs and Silk Knot weighted one :fbash of 322 lbs!!!
Some more fish were lost and a boat (any chance that´s your boat) called LIberty out of Inhaca released two ( a 500 lbs and a smaller one), lost another and also released a sailfish.
That´s some epic fishing men...not just for inhaca but anywhere...
Hope you having fun and tight lines....let us know how it goes.
Cheers
