Been a torrid two days of rain and rough conditions interspersed with a run of boat issues that would deter the most determined fisherman out there. Thankfully we managed to hold it together somehow. Thanks Mick for your patience and understanding....
Managed another Blue of 360lbs which unfortunately tail wrapped and died on us on Thursday. Also dropped a Stripe that did its rounds on the teaser, left the swim bait and bashed the longs before coming off after a short run. Yesterday we worked the same area but with water temp going down through the day we suspected the water had been disturbed by the South West on Wed/Thurs and proved so on the SST map. Unfortunately these images are on... 
Very early departure followed by a hiccup that saw us having to return to port and swop boats onto Rampage and start again. Eventually got out in rain and heavy conditions that were not pleasant. Fortunately things calmed down and cleared later and as the sea settled we had some action. Always good to have Mick on board and glad to keep our run going over the years. Mick was looking for a stripe to catch 5 of the 6 Billfish available on our coast. Proud that this was achieved today and all his fish have been caught with Reel Magic Charters( Stripe, Spear, Sail, Black, Blue), making him one of a handful of anglers to achieve this and all with one skipper.
Released a stripe after mid day ... 
Rack up another one for RMC ! Nother Stripe for Neels making it 5 for the last 4 outings. Weather was less than friendly but at least we had a half day out there.?... 
Opened the season last week in Richards Bay South Africa going 4-6 tagging A Blue, 2 Stripes and a Spearfish for 3 days. Water still improving and fishing should just get better going forward. Looking forward to a cracker season! ?...
