Its actually mad, there is a mixed bag of fish of stripeys, blacks and blues. I know of a black that was dropped on the leader of +- 350kg but the fish are between 75 and 150kg mostly. there were also a lot of fish released on sat and sunday at practise, also one yellowfin yesterday of 50+kg

Excellant results. It is just incredible how these stats grow. Our East coast is probably as hot as the best place in the world at the moment.

BV how about this hey. You would have had more success at home. Nico should have spend his money on a Vidal trip maybe. I hope it is not the case though.

Not the intention but you have to admit it really sucks if our mates go afar for Billies and it starts cooking like this local.

Here is one of 2 stripeys from a double header, both were released. This was on my mates boat "The Rebel", still waiting for some more pics coming through from the other boats.

Claude fishing on his boat "My Son" has reported 8 bills from Saturday to Monday and he has reported 3 strikes on bills this morning alone. Apparently fish is deep but water is full up with Dorries.

This season is definately one for the record books, it is just incredible.

I hope our waters stay like this.....

Been thinking about sponsoring some Somali Pirates.

Hey FA, careful with what you wish for...

Don't forget some Somali pirates recently hijacked a shrimp trawler in central Moz (well, not that is/was a bad thing if you think of it) but they are a lot closer that we think...

We were in Vidal this past weekend and we had an awesome time! Will type a report shortly. Think we are going to see a special week with regards to bills! So jealous!!

Off the topic, but the SA Navy launched a Frigate and a Cruiser with helicopter support this morning to patrol the waters of Mozambique, in an effort to deter the Pirates...!! (According to John Robbie on 702)

Sad to think that most of these people became pirates because of overfishing in their waters due to lack of government!
