After a bit of a late start we headed from Port St. Francis towards Cape Receif and stopped roughly in front of the Gamtoos at 85- 90m depth...
My dad caught the first nice fish of the day, a
4.5kg hake. A giant hake by local standards and by far the biggest I've seen. Its gonna be supper tonight :p measured 86cm
check the head on that thing, looks like a cobia! lol, im gonna try convert it into something 100kg+
Next it was my turn, a hard braking gurnard took a chokka and fillet combo. It's the second biggest one I've ever seen and my biggest by far.
3kg 
On a roll it was my turn again next, with a pb hake of 79cm or around 3.4-3.5kg
I also got a nice big carpenter in the mid 50's but didnt take a pic.
My new jigging/bottom fishing outfit saw me back to my old fish catching form, and Im VERY happy with it. Got a sustain 8000 on a shimano speedmaster mh rod and 50lb sufix performance braid. It makes all the difference fishing with a good grinder and braid for bottoms. Anyway I'm very chuffed with the setup
Another youngster on the boat caught a blue shark about 40-50kg, had a good tussel and it rolled him off at the boat. Later on a smaller blue came up right next to the boat to eat a small carpenter that was struggling to get down. Was a great treat seeing a shark feeding so close to us and right on the surface with its whole head and back out of the water. Unfortunately didnt manage pics
Also saw a little hammerhead cruise past us, a common sight actually
So that was my day on the sea :)
