Nikao Fishing Adventures took 4 clients Deep Sea Fishing off Durban, we launched at 05h30 and there was a breeze blowing.
We first collected some live bait and for a change this happened very quickly with only Mackerel coming out and no Sand Soldiers for a change. After we had about 30 Mackerel I rigged up 2 of them to do a slow troll for some Game Fish, I decided not to pull lures as the swells were quite big even though spaced apart. This produced us nothing.
We then went out on a reef to do some bottom fishing and we got several bottom fish including the biggest Mackerel I have ever seen which was about 500mm long and gave a good fight. The wind just started blowing harder and harder and at around 11h00 a large wave broke right over the boat and made us all sopping wet and we decided to call it a day.
The wind was relentless and picked up even more and we took a slow ride in big swells back into port and spent a little time in the bay before ending the booking.
