Captain's Log

The heat of summer has arrived and so has the peak of our summer fishing. When the wind has allowed us to safely get to sea, we have had good catches of yellowtail, silver fish, cape salmon and more from our handline fishing boats in Struisbaai.     This week was a reminder of how dangerous the ocean can be as a boat in False Bay has gone missing while trying to catch Kob and 2 fishermen are believed to have drowned.     We have seen signs that the tuna season wants to start earlier than expected, and if...

Valentine’s Day Share the love of seafood February has started off well. The tropical blue waters have pulled into Struisbaai, bringing with it catches of cape salmon and yellowtail.

Turbo the turtle is back where he/she belongs - in the ocean.  After  the fitment of the satellite tracker Turbo was released on the 12th of December 2022, about 45 nautical miles...
