We have warm water (22-23'C) off Swakop...? may-bee we should go out and investigate what species are around ...This is the prediction from HYCOM for the 28th of Feb 2011
lets hope so...,but I think there might be bonnies a little more off shore and who knows what else. Johan and I will test the "new" boat on Saturday. Will give feedback on what we find.
Went out Sunday 30 km west south west from Walvis Bay. Trawled for about 20 km with only one strike (bonnie?)Then decided to to start drifting and chumming sardines for bonnies. Within 10 minutes we hooked into the first MAKO (male)...it jumped all over the place...by the time I had the camera out the jumping stopped... we caught 8 more. 7 females.
On the way back we caught one Bonnie trawling
First time I heard about a Mako at our coast. Well done Renier, It is proof, together with the Bonny, that our Ski-Boat anglers are satisfied with small fish and never put in effort to really try something else.
