Sodwana news

I spoent this past weekend at Sodwana, Weather was great on Friday with small surf. Went North to Klein Witsand and quickly got a 5kg Skipjack followed by 2 yellowfin of about 4kg each . Hour later we got a 17kg Yellowfin.

Saturday the surf was a lyttlle moe challenging but Ok. Quite a stiff Northerly breeze of about 10 knots. Put out halco 190's and got another 3 yellowfin of about 4kg's each. Wind picke up deep so we went sahllow to try for Couta. Trolled from 9 mile all the way to jesser point at 3km/h but not a single strike.

The wind then picked up to 20 knots so we beached.

Thanx for the report! Still sound like an awesome trip.

Small Tuna took on Pink halco's and large one on Purple pulled on japan, about 80 metres behind the boat.

Thanx for the advice Geronimoo. Will give it a try. Will be down at Sodwana on 28 Sept till 6 October. Will let you know what happened.

The purple Halco deepdiver/saurcerer is a bluefin magnet.

What I have also found is that the big tuna run deep.

Often on slowing down the lures sink and thats when a strike occurs.

I once used a purple jethead feather on japan that would sink quite quickly with the metal head and that produced a strike every time we throttled back !

best places for big Tna are the Bermuda Triangle North and the southern bank 500m past diepgat

Geronimoo,

Will you please post pics of your boat

Alongside the Ace Crafts, those hulls are the most underestimated seaworthy hulls in South Africa

 

Cheers
