“ The illusive Yellowtail “

Fabulous morning on the water yesterday chasing Yellowtail , lots of fish around but not so easy to get close enough to land a spinner on them .

The seals were hard work as well and we were taxed hard , I think the seals got more of our fish than we did !

9.5 degree water temp all the way down to Platboom but then it jumped up nicely leveling out at 15 degrees around the Bellows .

The Tuna can’t be far away now , in the next couple of weeks we should be catching .

( don’t be fooled by all the Tuna you see on certain social media posts , NO-ONE has caught a Tuna off Cape Town since mid June )

It’s National Woman’s Day in SA !

Greetings to the Lady’s that the CTFC boys strapped in to Tuna last season .

The Tuna are still away on their annual migration but when they return usually from mid September onwards we will be ready to take all your calls and do it all over again !

All the best

At CTFC we take the time to teach ….

Martinus smashed a 93kg Yellowfin Tuna yesterday , the first Tuna he has ever caught and he did it in style .

Think about that !

Knees tight against the gunwhale pads , hands off the rod , harness straps remained tight .

“ Fight the fish not the gear “ .

A little bit of guidance goes a long long way .

Casino fish on the popper !

77.7 kg Yellowfin Tuna on the popper is something that does not happen every day ( or every year ) .

Well done Ryan from team Montreal that fished with me on Thursday when we went 7 for 7 , now that is something to write about .

( and all 3 guests were Yellowfin virgins )

Then on the Friday with the South Florida boys we went 5 for 5 ….

Let’s just think about that , that’s 12 for 12 in two days ! !

( 10 for 10 on Yellowfin and 2 for 2 on longies )

Well done to all on board over the 2 days because I can guarantee right now there are very few ( if any ) SA charter operators that can throw out those statistics !

Like we on the nugget always say ,

“ it’s not the amount of fish you can put in the box its the number of fish that you don’t lose that counts “ !

This is my dream come true the one guy says …..

These boys fish hard back home in South Beach Florida , but they have never experienced a Yellowfin Tuna fishery like the one they experienced yesterday !

They each pinned a Yella on the popping stick and they each pinned a Yellow on the bait sticks and just to finish it off they each pinned a Yellowfin whilst trolling back towards the 03/21 .

( Oh yes , they each pinned a coupla pirate drinks back at the ABC as well )

Job done !

Am guessing they will be back in Cape Town sooner rather than later !

When the fish weighs more than the angler it’s a win ! !

Alain eventually brought his Yellowfin Tuna alongside after an epic battle that lasted 1hr and 20 minutes . 😅

At the scales the yellowfin weighed in at 191 pounds and Alain the angler fighting out of Montreal Quebec weighed in at 180 pounds , these two cruiserweight street fighters literally gave everything they had and at the final bell there was absolutely nothing left in the tank ! 🥊

Winter vibes or just an early squall ?

There is some proper weather on its way , north of 50 knot winds on the horizon building the seas up to 9 - 10 meters ! 🙈

Hopefully we will sneak in a little session on Saturday before we get closed down for a while .

Watch this space .

Another day in fishing paradise !

The Durban boys hit it hard .

At first light and in calm seas which were flattened by a light drift from the north it was time to go Yellowfin Tuna hunting 35 miles west of Hout bay .

After a blank on the first chum line it was time to go on the troll again , as the crew were setting the backlines ….

Bang , we on !

We drifted for the rest of the morning catching and releasing quality yellowfin tuna .

Apart from the albino sun fish that came to visit it was just Tuna , Tuna , Tuna !
