Paddle Ski fishing in South Africa.

You call it Kayak fishing but we call it paddle ski. On the East coast we launch through some pretty mean breakers but the rewards are great. My friend/mentor Keith got this 80lb Yellowfin about a mile off the coast. Great fight but the funny thing was he couldn't get it out of the hatch when he got back to shore. He was just about ready to cut his ski open when he eventually got lucky. If you look carefully you can see scuff marks on the tuna.[url][/url]

WOW! AWESOME TUNA!

wow thats cool only a mile out nice tuna!!!!!

Nice catch right there,from a yak too,it must of been some ride for your friend..

I think I would have hacked up the tuna before cutting open one of those beautiful SA kayaks/Paddle Ski.

For some strange reason the manufacturers build rectangular hatches. It's a bit like fitting a round peg in a square hole deal. Oval would have been better but I don't think they thought guys would catch the size fish they do.

I see a road trip is in the making :shock:

With our exchange rate being 9:1 you could live like a king and the hospitality is such that the guys will put you up and supp ly Kayaks. We're just a bunch of Rednecks that speak funny and drive on the wrong side of the road.

Bag limit is 10 per day. We use red & white Rapalas, Halco sorceres, red eye Sardine, mullet, small Blues and Bonito. We call the Yellowfin Gas Bottles. The ones that are caught off the paddle ski are mostly off our east coast (IndianOcean).

[url][/url][url][/url] Cape Snoek. Best eating fish ever. Great fighter. As plentiful as Blues are in season. Average size is about 10lbs. Lure and tackle destroyers of note.

My buddy in the Cape, Calder. Just before the neck goes "Click". He's a cruel man.

Sailfish off Ski. Normally released but they say you get to keep your first one.
I don't agree.

That's just awesome fishing on your side of the World tauruck. Thanks for sharing and keep em coming.

If any of you ever want to do a "Road" trip you are wlcome to. We'll look after ya and keep the wild animals away. Fishing's going to be great until March next year. AND the best beer is about a buck.

buck a beer :affraid: hell ill be down as for the animals luv to be attacked by the LADIES :.......:

Steve, I don't know if you are aware that S.A. Breweries bought Miller. Where did the get the money??? South Africans buy booze by the truckload. The wild I was referring to is the four legged variety. People think because we live in Africa it's one big Safari park. The ladies here are hotties as well. It might be less than a buck a beer.

KEEP THOSE PICS COMING! ITS AWESOME TO SEE PICS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND THE DIFFERENT SPECIES! :you da man:

:.......:
