Recent Trip to Kilwa & Latham

[Stoutkat]

A few pics of some GT's, etc caught at Kilwa and Latham last week. Awesome fishing!

PS. Anyone got the formula for calculating accurate weight of GT using fork length and girth of the fish?

Awesome stuff SToutkat, congrats on an epic trip mate...

Judging by the deckies and the boat, I take it you were fishing with Jason and Maddy???

Great shots and fish, congrats again!!

Thanks. Yeah, the marlin and broadbill were at Latham. The GT's, doggie, etc at Kilwa and Songa Songa on poppers and jigs.

wonderful fish, and a nice mix of species - great stuff..!

How many days fishing did you do, and on how many nights did you target the broadbills - many bites..?

Thanks mate. We fished Kilwa and Songa Songa 5 days and Latham (A day and night) leaving Dar at 5pm on Friday night and returned late Saterday night. Landed 4 broadbill in total (ranging from 26kg to 48kg) and probably had another 2 to 3 strikes so our success rate was surprisingly good considering their soft mouths! The ones landed were all hooked in the base of the bills.
