Richards Bay ~ Nhlabane (RBM)

Right so it was up early on Saturday (23rd October 2011) morning, long before the Sun. Fetch all the boys and head off to Nhlabane for a surf fishing session...

The nice thing about Nhlabane is that it's not too far to walk to get to the beach. The vehicles also stay in sight...

Just in time to watch the sunrise. There was a slight NW wind blowing and the sea was a little warmer than we expected...

Nothing beats a great sunrise...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

Not a soul in sight...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

Shane is on...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

... Still on...

[zulu-X-treme]

The reward... A beautiful SA Giant Guitarfish...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

And no sooner had Shane landed his 'sandie' and it was Raggys turn... Fish on...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

Another perfect SA Giant Guitarfish...

It was definitely Shanes day for catching... A descent SA Great Hammerhead...

What a day... The sea was excellent but as the morning progressed the wind got worse, eventually re-defining the term 'getting sandblasted... lol.

 

[zulu-X-treme]

It's been forever since the mouth was open...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

Backs are off, arms are off, bait is finished... Time to head home...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

We live in a beautiful country... It's just a pity that you have to watch your back in a big way...

 

[zulu-X-treme]

What a brilliant day. We got what we came for, well not me... lol. It wasn't my day... lol.
