Title: Where are you fishing in Dec/Jan? UA hookups!
Post by: REEFMAN on December 06, 2010, 04:47:26 PM
With many guys hitting the coast during the hols, might be a good time to meet like-minded people on the beach. Tell us where you will be and maybe there is another member you can hook up with?

I will be in Sordies 25th - 30th - Family payback time, so it's mainly diving, but will take my kit down just in case!  :hnthnt:

Just a word of warning ... On the 1st of Jan every year Port Edward normally gets between 20000 and 30000 on their small "Silver Beach". If you can, get out of town before then. The 26th of December is normally almost as bad. The town almost comes to a complete standstill that day ...
 
As much as I love that place I was there Dec 2008 and swore that I would never go back over Christmas or New Year ... Good luck in any case and enjoy.

Thanks, but i think it is not only port edward that has the issue on 25,26 and 1st Jan... it is the yearly migration to the sand and sea for thousands. had the same two years agon on the north coast, eventually drove 25km through the sugar cane and found a secluded beach where nobody was....

Techobanine is situated 20 Km north of Ponta Do Ouro and about 4 Km north of Ponta Mamoli.
Google earth it as Mamoli private camp.

The day we went to visit the weather was very bad but it would still be very easy to launch.
There is a masive reef structure just offshore and at low tide the waves break over the reef
You can see the reef on google earth
