We had 2 trips this weekend spending a total of 14hrs out at sea, the sea was a flat as a pancake, and we found water up to 26.5deg.C. The water was blue out in the deep but full of particles and fishing was hard. We managed a nice Wahoo, and caught a fair amount of small Yellowfin Tuna and Oceanic Bonito. We also had a small Blue Marlin on but he came off the hook when I was leadering him and he jumped.

Bio: I have been fishing since I was 5 years old in Durban and have fished many places around the world and in South Africa, but Durban is my home waters. I fished competitive for many years and I have been running my own charters since 2008 with 2 companies and 2 boats, fish a variety of styles and target a variety of fish species in both Salt and Fresh water, have many published articles in several magazines on fishing. Love nature and outdoors, Am very conservation minded and have a passion for birds. I am crazy about big Tuna, Marlin Fishing and Game Fishing, and also love light tackle spinning, am a total lure junkie. Represented my province in fly fishing for many years and am also pro staff for Rapala/Shimano. I want to write a book on fishing one day. 3 items left on my fishing bucket list, guess then a new bucket list will be in order. As a writer I have my own quote: \"I love taking people fishing because it releases their inner child, and in doing so keeps my inner child alive.\"
