fantastic pics - We managed to come into close contact with many pods of dolphins feeding on the 2nd January in Gansbaai - it was amazing and beautiful. They are so nimble and quick in the water. However yours Orca's are a bit bigger - were you not scared at all ?

 (clap) Great report, I had so much fun on the light tackle and 7/10 risked missing his flight to Jhb to allow me to catch the Skipjack on my light stick. The fish were wild and I think if we stayed any longer we would have filled the bout with fish.  :hehe:

@Willie, I dedicate that Skippy to you, I caught it on the Vengeance I got from you.
I paired the Vengeance with a Diawa Exceller 4000 loaded with 6kg braid and used one of the S-bend spoons Fritz made. It was a proper  :ult: Team effort!  :appr:

A great post and so lucky to see the Orca's that close  :envy
when I die, may my wife not sell my fishing tackle for what I told her I paid for it... and I have bought more, a severe case of TA

Beautiful  (clap) (clap) (clap) I used to fish for Salmon off Cambell River, between Vancouver Island and the mainland and pods of those guys used to cruise by. Brings a lump to the throat. Thanks 7/10ths :bow:
