Thanks Tuna....

I have this funny feeling about this one too.... I'm gonna give it my best shot... going to work the 250-400 m area really hard!

That's the spirit. Will be holding thumbs all the way.

Hi John
I hope this can help you to find a billy. Herewith two areas we caught last year marlin when we visited Inhaca. I t is a long way to travel from Maputo to it but try your best to work that drop off areas as it form canyons. We trolled zigzag from 100-350 meters these two areas and got some billys.
1. E33 09 600 S 25 43 200
2. E33 08 000 S 25 52 000
Tight Lines!!!

Great BV.

JOHNF here is some additional Bathy info on those two marks. You can see why they work.

John F · « **Reply #24 on:** March 09, 2011, 01:03:34 PM »

Looks like the perfect area for them... will definitely spend some time there....

which software did you use Tuna? Those depth contours are killer!!!!

TUNAMAN · « **Reply #25 on:** March 09, 2011, 01:20:54 PM »

JOHNF it is Garmin Bluecharts. Is there anything you want me to look for? If you give me approximate areas and depth I can plot any feature for you.

Thanks Tunaman,

Report of yesterday's fishing... http://www.ultimateangling.co.za/index.php/topic,4325.new.html#new

A few good cuta and tuna (~15 kg) were caught during the weekend and also "Oliver" released a couple of sailfish... good prospects for the Maritimo comp in 10 days?

TUNAMAN · « **Reply #28 on:** March 22, 2011, 11:12:16 AM »

JOHNF you will be on them in no time. Keen to get your feedback from your next time out.

John F · « **Reply #29 on:** March 22, 2011, 11:16:42 AM »

Thanks Tuna.... this will be a species comp with about 13 species plus bills counting... so it will have to be a bit tactic but will certainly spend a lot of time chasing them!

Appreciate your support!

OMT on UA will be in Santa Maria then. He will be fishing the reef system on his side. Maybe contact him so you can have some in on the goings down at Santa Maria reef and South of it?

John F · « **Reply #31 on:** March 22, 2011, 11:46:27 AM »

Great... will do that!

Thanks!

Some mates are fishing Sao Joa this week. Might be a bit far for you but can keep you posted on their results as soon as I get nay.

are there any of these around up there still

John F · « **Reply #34 on:** March 23, 2011, 05:46:15 AM »

Yeap... Had a marlin run last weeek and sailies are all over... They are around all year with a peak in summer

John F · « **Reply #35 on:** April 01, 2011, 08:03:13 AM »

Lot of preparation has been put into the comp coming up this weekend... it's the 3rd Leg of Clube Maritimo's Interauto/Ford championship... being a species comp, it's gonna be very tactical... couta, tuna, wahoo, dorado and bills are still around...

Due to the northerly expected on Saturday, the comp might get moved to Sunday... let's see...
