The last batch of marlin fin samples about to leave for the states. Been a pleasure helping the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in collecting these genetic samples. Big thanks to Dale Leenstra for his efforts helping me in Morocco and Richards Bay and ensuring we have a really good batch to send off....

Spent four days in the bay last week looking for a fish for a good friend and doing a two day charter with Leroy and Andre. Had really good action but a very poor conversion rate probably having more to do with the heavy conditions than anything else. We raised 6 Blues in four days but only converted one with all others hooking up but dropping off after varying lengths of runs. All good as these things even up in the long run and sure we will stick a few on the next outing. ...

Sublime last week for us with great waves over the weekend and then a quick fire strike to R Bay to connect with a few barrels down there. Couple pics of the fish on Tuesday. Almost a home run bases loaded had we landed the one that got away yesterday. Great show around the boat and exactly why we do this. Very lekka trip. Back in J Bay ......

ha ha Murphy's law! Packed up the boat yesterday expecting the westerly to have buggered the water only to wake early this morning and see a totally different picture on the current map. Took Rampage out and found unbelievable water over 27 degrees with good bait in the water column and of course there were some fish too. Not boiling but life, Squidlips released a small blue early and we saw a small ski drop a fish before getting hooked up mid day on a spectacular fish that did a massive run before going down deep. Unfortunately it got tail wrapped and after an hour of planing we got her up again. Too late to revive her so she got loaded and weighed in at 525 lbs. Awesome day on the water at...

Awesome day on the ocean plenty Dorado and a good + 600lb Blue release!! Yes please!!...
