It was the day before Christmas, and what a day it was. The crew decided to make a run down east, and it paid off.

Well done to the clients with their awesome catches. We are sure they will be eating some fresh fish on Christmas day (we were too busy to take many photos, but got some quality fish).

To all our past and present clients, thank you for the opportunity to make your fishing dreams come true. May you all have a blessed Christmas!

Haven't been posting much with the back to back charters, but today was special.

After making the calculated decision to head out, we manged to quickly snag ourselves a few red fish for the braai. However, this geelbek stole the show and gave this young gentleman a good run. We were glad to hear that it was a bucket list fish for him and we could be part of it!

Having a few young trippers on board meant we had to play it safe and stay close to home. After many hours and not may fish on board, our luck changed and we were on the money. The father and son duo fished until they just couldn't anymore!

Persistence pays off!!
