you will get her soon Trevor i have no doubt about that to get one on light tackle is only for guys that can wear the T - Shirt , how was the water today.

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2012, 07:26:40 PM »

Started off ok but wind later..lots of action on that area again 2 yellowfin, 3 dorado and a wahoo plus a non sticker #@$% all on 30lb..almost a brilliant day...actually not bad, you guys would have loved it action from early. Weather looks lousy for a few days though..rest and fix some wahooed tackle!

Two days on 30 lb and 0-2 on blues - fish very lethargic with hot water 28/29 and starting from breakwater with no break in temp.
Tough conditions to find fish..need some cooler water fast!

@Reel Magic, is Braam Duvenhage still in Richards bay?

TUNAMAN · « **Reply #26 on:** February 08, 2012, 08:49:00 AM »

Hannes is still there if they are related which they probably will be - LIHAN.

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #27 on:** February 08, 2012, 09:02:57 AM »

Not at moment as far as I know? Havent seen them on water for a while!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #28 on:** February 08, 2012, 09:04:05 AM »

Hannes is still around.

Zetti · « **Reply #29 on:** February 08, 2012, 10:06:14 AM »

Last I heard he upgraded to a bigger ship and moved to Meerensee but this was a while back, just curious whether he is still around.
He was our neighbour when my dad still had his place at Mzingazi.

Well its been slow and have been giving it a rest. Couple of days of SW coming up ..hope it will shake things up for the better. No reports of fish this side, will be down at the club tonight to get the debrief and any news. Comps starting next week so ill be out scouting for action probably Tuesday by the looks of the weather. Anybody had any luck north of us?

Trevor what I gather is that it has been slow going North of you. Gamefish picking up and some signs of things possibly turning for the better. Will be in Soddies from Sunday for the week. Shout if you need some info from there.

All the best for the Classic!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #32 on:** February 11, 2012, 09:52:39 AM »

Thanx wont be very classic if this keeps up but lets hope for a change soon..no reports from anybody at the club either..very quiet!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #33 on:** February 13, 2012, 06:55:52 PM »

Great reports coming from the Myn Manne comp in Sodwanna with 34 fish released today..looks like the season is getting back on track again! Will be out tomorrow to check the status this side!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #34 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:14:39 PM »

Looks like the report i received was exaggerated somewhat and just over 20 Billfish were released of which 7 were sails!

Well i wont exaggerate our efforts today..we saw nothing moving out there, no bait no birds, and we covered a lot of water.

Have looked at the charts for sodwanna and they do have a tongue of warm water which has pushed in from the deep, and may be holding the fish.

Can only hope it gets here soon as its looking bleak out there. Then again another day could make all the difference. Heres to another day !!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #35 on:** February 16, 2012, 07:36:30 PM »

Today was really exiting ..really! Saw lots of birds and a pod of 100's of pilot whales....

oh and then at 4pm, heading for home ,we hooked a blue while all were in the saloon(including myself) debating the poor state of the fishing!

Were so shallow we had to dodge a commercial bottom fishing boat while fighting the fish!

Go Figure..definitely not skill on the skippers part, but then again it counts. Well done Mike after how

many trips to Mauritius? No 21 for the season!

John F · « **Reply #36 on:** February 16, 2012, 08:08:20 PM »

Well done RMC! Updated to the Billfish hall of fame!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #37 on:** February 17, 2012, 07:49:34 AM »

Thanks - here's Mike Riley's Fish!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #38 on:** February 19, 2012, 02:46:04 PM »

Had two days of fishing in pouring rain

wet to the bone in shitty seas

....really fun.. not!

Plenty gamefish yesterday and had one knock down and one hookup on a stripe that pulled hooks at the boat today. Definitely not what we wanted but thats the score!

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #39 on:** February 26, 2012, 07:14:40 AM »

Sadsaa Billfish has come and gone ..well done to Trinity on their win with 3 releases. Our score was 1-2 in very trying conditions to say the least. Many of our local guru's going without a strike for 3 days... very slow and in very poor sea conditions...very long days. Water still very warm and no current. Good news is that the big Yellowfin are around and should get better over the next month. We will target them soon!
