Sunset Pic - Popping

[Andre van Wyk]

No big GT pic, but I shot this on a recent trip to Hellsgate Lodge in Mozambique in June...

Thought I'd share it with you guys...  perhaps Mods can set up a thread to post those "scenic" shots of all the amazing things we inevitably see during our fishing trips... goes to show being a fisherman isn't all about catching fish...

Love your work mate

[Andre van Wyk]

Thanks for the comments guys...

Hi Jon,

Unfortunately the popping was a little slow, us being there at the slowest time of the year.... I did have one estimated 40 to 50 kilo fish push my Cubera 180 for about 10 metres before sinking out of sight without commiting... left me jelly legged for sure, thought it was a shark when I first saw it come up behind the popper!!!

Cubera 150 did the trick on this fat nasty Cuda for my buddy Greg though that morning...


Hellsgate is an incredible place, the potential is amazing.... I can't wait to get back there in the summer, there is a 50 Kilo fish with my name on it just waiting for me!

A couple more scenic shots




Livebaiting off the beach at the Hellsgate Gap at last light.....plenty 40 kilo plus fish taken this way here...

I divert a little bit here but it seems cudas have a really bad reputation in some parts.
Over here in Fiji they are highly regarded as table fare.
Any one care to share their opinions.
