Hi there everyone, Well the tuna have arrived in full force here in Cape Town. We had a great day on Tuesday 9/12/2014 with our Guests Alan and Karl both getting their personal best Yellowfin tuna... Karl managed a fish of 71,68kg... We had some hard luck stories, losing 5 big fish due to burn off, fish biting through the flouro leader and hooks pulling... All in all, a very fun day was had
We are almost fully booked for the rest of Dec and January, but still have some dates available for those that are interested in hooking into a bus of a fish
See you on the water

Howzit B,
you put the guys on some great fish, well done mate. :bow:

:welc: Byron, nice to have you here.
Do the client s keep the fish or do they stay with the boat?
Can't imagine what the hotel / guesthouse is going to think when the client rocks up with a 80kg fish though :hehe:

Ons gaan nou nou braai :hehe:

Hey there Travelmember,
The fish normally stays with the boat, but we try to ensure that the clients take home at least 8-10kg of cleaned meat each on the day... We also sms our local clients, who have fished in the past to come down and grab some FREE fresh fish if we have left overs after each trip... We also donate some to charities such as Living Hope and Red Cross Childrens hospital, if we have surplus fish
-
(clap) Good for you Byron, giving to the charities is a great gesture. :+ cred:
-
Nice one mate

:welc: nice :yft: :yft: :yft: :yft:

:welc: those look like some bus :yft: :win:

what happened to the head of the tunny?
Did it get a shot of SSG 12GA the moment it showed its head? :shk :dunno: :rotfl
hehehe just teasing as I have not seen this before.
-
cut that hole and shove a wire down to kill the nerves for better meat off the fish

Cool,
Now I have learned something new.
:tkx:
-
Known as the Taniguchi method. By pushing a length of heavy mono or wire down the spinal column you pith the fish. This completely destroys the spinal cord in the neural canal thereby stopping the biochemical reaction that leads to flesh deterioration. When you sell the fish, you get a higher price. Only really of use when the fish is subject to a long transit in slurry. For less than 24 hours, bleeding and spiking are sufficient.
But always good to see the fish looked after. (clap)
-
Byron, nice to see you here!! :welc:
Congrats on those fish - was a lovely day on the water Tuesday - DREAM day for me!! :-)
Any decent YFT gives A LOT of meat, and thus it's good to see the fish being treated "with respect"!
Gerhard, the CORRECT way of treating YFT is to make a small cut behind the pecs to bleed, cut the tail (seldom done and not CRUCIAL), cut the top of the head to expose the spinal cord and "ream" the fish with a wire down the spine. Then, straight into ice/saltwater slurry! You could even take the gills and entrails out and stuff the cavity full of ice!
-
Byron you biscuit :welc:
Look forward to learning some tuna tips from you bud.
-
Well done Byron I'm :envy

Another fun day on the water yesterday for our guests, Hendrik, Lilanie and Tommy from Mosselbaai... Tommy drove down for just a day to catch his dream tuna, which he did like a pro, landing a 65kg Yellowfin, and between the group the managed to land 12 longfin, between 6-11kg...
I have still got a few places open for Dec/ Jan, if anyone is keen

Hi Byron
Any chance of a breakdown of your season best months etc. I'm not in the country often but I'd be keen to spend a few days chasing tuna if the timings right.
-
Hi Cam,
Normally the season starts in October, November and December is the big monsters... Then it really hots up again March, April and may with major quantities and also a good few of the very big fish...
This season, the season started very late but hopefully will go straight through to June... Earlier this year I was catching good fish until the end of July...
-
So what cooking in Cape Town chaps ? :dunno:
-
Happy New Year Hammer and everyone else...
The :yft: are certainly cooking here at the moment and some :billf: also... In the last 2 days we have had boats release a stripey, a small black and a spearfish off Hout Bay, with some :dor: also around...
Further South has been a very busy December and Jan for the Tuna boys... On sunday 2 ski boats returned with 16 and 21 respectively, between 40-70kg class fish... Some of the deck boats had up to 65 on sunday and up to 70 YFT on a boat yesterday
Now is the time to book and come down and join us for a trip
