We are planning on fishing Santa very differently this time. While we usually do the gamefish thing (and I am sure we will do some of it), we are planning on fishing deep, very deep, exploring not our usual marks but maps features.
*Very* excited!

Just about anything! Couta, snoek, wahoo, sailies, if the water temp is high enough dollies... and black marlin have been caught year round in Zululand.

Hi Shags,
 
The size varied from 12 to 18kgs altough one of 35.5kgs came out earlier during the week on a trap stick while guys were bottom fishing north close to Kastele. I also did a charter on the Monday prior to the comp and we got 9 Cudas, I have included a picture for you. Well well where did we find them??? ok just for your ears :hehe:  ..........High Points (but keep it a secret). Anyway Lady Luck also comes around every now and then and believe it or not our 11,6kg Cuda was the biggest one cought during the comp! altough we cought bigger ones on the previous Monday.
 
Cheers

Very small ones, 3.8kg but very scares. Wahoo is a gamefish and therefore it is more summer species.
