What can i say that hasnt been said already...

Mark, you're a machine china. Your insistence that Mike and I pick up the screaming rods was extremely generous, but not to be repeated. Thanks to you both Mike and I hit PB's and we also landed the first dorrie on Scouse. Your chumming tutorial was spot on and no secrets held back, having the practical demo was invaluable to us both. Watching that slack line disappear and hearing that reel scream off is priceless. The lunch was top class as well...

Mike, awesome to finally have you on board boet!!  The vibe on deck was awesome and i almost couldnt believe how time flew. You fought your fish like a champ and i think the one that got away may have been a tad bigger.

As for the launch, adrenalin always pumps... happy to have a healthy respect for the sea.

Eish, that jigging was hard work but seeing Mark go tight a couple times was encouraging and definately something i want to pursue more.

Discussions have already started about a Richards Bay trip to try land the first Marlin on Scouse...

Thanks again for an awesome day chaps!!! Good to have a few more PB's registered on Scouse, long may the good mojo continue.

Mike, awesome report mate, you have a way with words! Thanks to Shaun and yourself for a lekker day's fishing, I must say the whole day was a great experience and good to share with fellow UA'ers! Shaun your boat is awesome and definitely has some "mojo" as you mentioned. Glad you guys got some nice tuna and learnt to chum first hand.


I'm definitely keen for a Richards Bay session to get into some billies, they are there for sure!

Great report Mike, your boat looks awesome Shaun, and Bwana seems I'll have to fish with you some or other time. Congratulations!
 
Shaun just one observation, your boat looks very well fitted and equipped, everything that opens and closes, but I don't notice any electric reels. You should look into them quite popular in the US.

Thanks guys but the one to thank is Shaun for making this possible, secondly Mark for all his knowledge all I was doing was stealing with my eyes. This is what  :ult:  is about,  strangers becoming friends.

Thanks Jaen, the photographers at the club did it for me... planning on putting it on canvas for my mancave.
