Author Topic: UA October 2014 Inhaca Offshore Gathering: 8th Oct - 13th Oct (Read 51230 times)

Quite a few guys have expressed considerable interest in another Inhaca Offshore Gathering in October of this year. In order to get the plan together I have listed a few things to consider in choosing the date.

School Holidays: 4th - 12th October
High Tides are at unfavourable times on the earlier days of the holidays with sunrise only being at around 05:20

However in order to squeeze the trip in during school holidays, which was important to some people, we can start looking at things from Wednesday 8th onwards, if we have a launching window 1 1/2 hours after high tide. In addition the Solunar Fish Activity is at its highest for the month at this time.

It looks like this:
Wednesday 8th - Sun Rise, 05:21 - High Tide, 03:40
Thursday 9th - Sun Rise, 05:20 - High Tide, 04:15
Friday 10th - Sun Rise, 05:19 - High Tide, 04:50
Saturday 11th - Sun Rise, 05:18 - High Tide, 05:25
Sunday 12th - Sun Rise, 05:17 - High Tide, 05:55
Monday 13th - Sun Rise, 05:16 - High Tide, 06:30

So from a date point of view the above would be the best time.

Lets get the discussion going and see where we go from here. I'm in 100%

Howdy Tony, I am keen. I want to talk to my Boss chick cause I would like her and my little girl to come along. I like the idea of inviting other UA members

Indlovo ,

I am in spirit very interested in a event like this , but Mozambique is a week by horse for us here in the Cape, But not undoable.

I have a project boat I need to finish in the Winter and ultimately will then Sleep / Stored in PTA or Komati , and this is maybe just the kick in the behind I need and a 1 way tow is not so bad.

Here in the Cape We also have a Forum- "Boatfishing" and sure it may be possible to organise 2-4 Boats to join in as well.

What is a Comfortable no of boats for such an event ?

Number of boats is not a problem, however accommodation on the island could become a problem with a whole pile of boats.

Guys, I know this is 8 months away and there is absolutely no need to commit at this stage, I got the thread going to give everyone a heads up and to pencil it into your diaries as well as to get the discussion going.

Those R&S anglers who would like to give offshore a try and may be able to make this one, stick your names on a list so we know what kind of numbers we are talking about. more or less at this stage of course.
