No Change... wind wind wind (SE) all week...SST shows warmer water in the SE of Agulhas which can only bode well for the tuna when the gap in the weather comes, the SE should push it in closer (We hope!!)

It looks like there is a patch of warmer water trapped in the Mosselbaai area. I wonder when the Bonnies are going to arrive.

Yowzer! Would love to hook a YFT. Missed them in Mwangasa. They hooked a couple the weekend before we arrived. Keen to hammer one on a top water bait though. Must be super siza that one

I bet you , Monday the condisions are perfect , and the fish biting. With the howling wind that temp should have move in a bit already .

I have had them down to 14 deg but that unusual, usually they like 18 up... longies dont seem to mind down to 16, I will post temp chart again on thurs so we can see prospects for the weekend... we should hopefully see the result of the SE but the ESE.....beast from the east!!!! is NOT a good wind. SE is better.

7/10 The temperature chart is very interesting, i would be interested to know the temps starting next week monday!

The closer the 18C comes in the better the chances of a bus! :D

Are you guys heading out this weekend? we are prepping for the derby and will only get out tuesday next week :S hope the conditions are peachy

Thanks 7/10. It would be interesting to see how the strong wind effects the water temperature.
