Lovely to be on the water again and getting some Bek, reds and Sarda bye-catch. We got well beaten by the Amber's though, 3 times, as you can see from this reel. It will be replaced with a proper Reel Machine and then more to follow as funding permits. We'll done Anton Du Preez and great having Brett on board as well.

Best pic of the year, seeing Rob Hamburger bending on a good fish again. Wishing Rob continued recovery to good health along with all his fishing friends. Thank you Craig Bashford and Deon Kemp. Tight lines Rob - nearly time for D272 to launch again.

Skipper competency training completed now for Dr Arilsivanathan (Sathi) and he is ready to do his sea practical exam on Monday. He has completed his training course and passed his exam.

Anton Du Preez and I had a quick Snoek expedition to Blue Lagoon before Sathi's training, where we hooked 10 snoek, losing 6 or 7 to sharks, both at the gaff and just after hookup, and dropped a couple off, trying to swing them into the boat to beat the sharks - a result of 1/10 has to be our worst conversion rate in our history. Anyway, it's always lots of fun, we will try again Monday and Engen will score another 2 tanks from us, lols.

Huge Westerly buster coming through Saturday morning in case you were planning an early splash & dash in the sunrise calm - definitely don't go far north of the Durban Ski Boat Club launch site
