Hoo Hoo, Hoo are You!

Neil Myburg, York Lawrence and myself went to Aliwal Shoal on Saturday morning.
The water was nice and warm despite it been quite cold, inshore the water was dirty, luckily out deep it was crystal clean.

York and myself had the first Dive. On my second dive down, I saw a decent size fish what I thought was a Couta, as I got closer I realised it was a Wahoo! I realised I had to quickly change my approach. I have yet to actually shoot a Wahoo, so I remembered everything I was told about these fish. Dont chase Wahoo, try approach from below, never look it in the eye. All of these thoughts were racing in my head. Next thing, I see one, two three Wahoo, I dived down and swam slowly towards them, fired and got a good spine shot in.  I just got my fish on the boat, and York was 'on' aswell. Later Neil got 2 and York another. I got 2 more aswell.
We had a good day out, thanks to York for showing us the ropes of Aliwal and giving us info on how to land Wahoo. I got a new species under my Belt so Im stoked.
