Life memories created We booked to good out from Hout Bay in Cape Town having been recommended to Hooked on Fishing Africa by a friend. They didnโ€™t let us down. Capt Sean and deck hand Andrew could not have been better!
After a two hour motor to the fishing grounds water temp in hout bay was 10c at the fishing grounds it was 19.5c. We almost immediately hooked into LongFin we landed 9 in the space of 3 to 4 hours oh what fun!
Then Sean suggested we head to the Canyons to try for some Yellow fin .. they didnโ€™t disappoint! Over the next 3 hours we caught 3 beautiful Yellow Fin Tuna and lost two more. A long drive home was followed by beers in the Club! What an experience. We will return!!
