About The Author:
Company: Blue Water Charters - Durban
Area Reporting: Durban. KwaZulu Natal, South Africa
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.\"

Fishing off Durban 11-8-09 (8/13/2009)
[Durban,KZN] Nikao Fishing Adventures took 4 clients from Finland deep sea fishing off Durban. We launched at 06h00, the sea was nice and flat, but I knew some wind was coming, the wind was a North Westerly, and as the day progressed it picked up more and more and this is an un usual wind for Durban which always makes me nervous and so I was standing up mostly looking around like a Meerkat to see if there was any bad weather coming.

Durban Summer Game Fish Are Here (12/10/2008)
[Durban,KZN] We had an awsome day off shore Durban, the weather was fantastic. In the morning we got tuna trolling live mackerel slowly at about 3km.hr. In the afternoon we got 2 Dorado on light Bass tackle. The Dorado was extremely exciting as I am pushing the limits with drop shot and these Dorado were the 1st we got on drop shot and both were over 10kg.
