Hi Corrie

Is the comp a species comp? What Ive heard from mates of mine last week is that the cuta are scarce. I would follow the next plan.

Early morning slow troll North the shallow reefs 15-25m up to canyon and the same if you have to go South to Diepgat. Have at least three sardine or mackeral baits at different dephts and pink deepdiver halco or Rapala and maybe aRedhead lure. Hongkong a bird with softhead colours blue and red or green.

At canyon or diepgat work the area into sea and back to land at higher speed and maybe replace sardine baits with small konas. After hour and nothing move further North to witsand, 7 mile reef. Slow troll again or drift area as there might be a cuta or jobfish. Move to white pole and drift shallow reef side. Kingfish are sometimes on reefs in area. Use poppers while drifting as well as dropshot.

Move on to Rondekop. Shallow reef at 12 meter for kingfish. Still nothing start to look for marlin or sailies at the drop off line along up to Island rock 85-300m. Troll not slower than 12 km/h with konas. You can get tuna, wahoo and skipjack as by catch. Marlin is always the best bonus.

Enjoy and let us know how it went.

Hi Nicos it is possible havent heard anything. Things and rules might change there day by day. We were caught out with the whole jigging thing.  BVJunior bought a jigging setup the Monday for about R8000 and the news broke Tuesday that jigging is prohibited. You will not believe it but we got commercial guys there on the Saturday who did not know about that jigging is prohibited and they argued like hell.

hi All

Well the week was fun at Sodwana, Two days BLOWOUTS but on Thursday I had experience of my life when i hooked my first Marlin. Lost it (hooks did not set I think) 15 minutes on the rod and what a lot of fun that was. I thought he/she was going to pull me of the boat. We don't have a fighting chair. Anyway on same day If i remember correctly there was 8 Hook-ups and releases.

For bait we used a 4.2 kg Skippy with J Hook.
Go WELL

Next time use a circle and you will keep your marlin, well done.

Hi Corrie

Congratulations with the hook up. That is already a achievement. Yes this marlin fever is a dangerous thing. Your wife becomes not so important anymore, you do your job just to keep things goings and you sit and daydream all the time about your next trip. Where did you get hooked up? Next time may be the time to go end out. I know guys whom are fishing 25 years and longer and never had a hook up even trying to find marlin. So you must have some luck.
