I went out a few times in April and mostly targeting Couta (King Mackerel) which evaded us the whole month, we caught a lot of Sharks and then suddenly the Sharks were also quiet. There have been some small Yellow Fin Tuna around, the odd Wahoo and Dorado in the deeper waters and the bottom fishing has been slow, there have also been a lot of Queenfish around and during the DSC Couta Classic I got myself a new PB Queenfish of 9.3Kg.
The waters have been strange and very warm for this time of year with temperatures of over 25 deg. C on some occasions; there has also been a lot of pollution and debris in the water the whole month and rain which is out of season. Winter is already upon us and I fear our Couta season may be short lived, but let’s see there is still a chance that the weather settles. I also suspect that we should soon start seeing some Sailfish soon.
