Great Report Sami, I guess it's the lost fish that keeps us wanna go back and revenge (as if we can, it's just an excuse)
With this amount of cut offs, you need a new strategy I guess
Wish you nail that record fish on your next trip, you definitely desrve it

Great report, Sami!
It looks like your trip was similar to ours in April. Great trip but not that much to show for it as the big fish were just unstoppable. We got beaten so badly it was demoralising.
If it swims; I want to catch it!

Hey Mark,
I am working on 2015 and 2016 booking, will update you next week when i see you in the Cape  ;)

Great report, Sami!

Hi Brandon,
The guys told us about your trip and how many lures you guys lost, sick!
we did not make it North as far as you guys went but that is the plan for next trip, we tried to concentrate on jigging as the bite was out of this world.
it is an amazing destination with so much fishing ground to cover, I can't wait to get back  :)

   Tight lines

Very happy to have done the ground work for the area way north for you guys because we will certainly be leveraging off what you learnt from jigging in future trips!
If it swims; I want to catch it!
