Sunday we got up nice and early, hoping to get the early morning run of snoek.
We made sure we launched first....and it paid off.
I was the unlucky sod who lost “rock paper scissors” and had to buggy first. I was grinding my teeth away
As Neil and Dylan were shouting “boat boat” – fish after fish, while I had to buggy. In 30 minutes they
each had 3 or 4 fish! Finally it was my turn, as I jumped in, there was a snoek right underneath the boat. Bang J.
All that tension disappeared after shooting that fish.
The fish soon wisened up and started thinning out. They were already a little skittish to start with. I think the previous few days of the Durban guys nailing them, gave them a phobia of spears.
We tried to get some big couta and moved to the deeper water a bit later in the day. We only managed to get small couta.
All the snoek we got were fairly decent size between 4-7kg.
I wonder how long they will stick around.
