Good day ALL

It’s been an EPIC SEASON so far and something we have not seen for many years with Yellowfin Tuna being available since OCTOBER last year.

Traditionally they disappear from mid-December till end March but this year it’s been flat out with smaller class fish and NOW the BIG BOYS.

Tuna Nationals started on Monday 13th and fished through till 17th and we are hosting the Protea team under the supervision of our skipper GRANT, tight lines boys.

Our very own TUNA MASTERS will be fished from 19th to 24th MAY which will be our last till after winter BUT in NOVEMBER we will host both the EFSA and TUNA DERBY.

Our Pelagic Birding Charters are in FULL SWING with a full order book for the year already.

The Marlin season was a bit disappointing as only 2 were caught (December to end March) but with the amount of TUNA around it was hard to make a concerted effort.

The Inshore Game Fishing has been hit and mis as the weather has chopped and changed but has produced some awesome Half Day charters for Yellowtail, Atlantic Bonito and Skipjack.

This should all continue till end May/ early JUNE when our WINTER SPECIALS kick in so watch this space for more details.

So, if you’re after a world class day give us a shout.
