We left Kalk bay harbour at 10:00 after safety briefing and proceeded to reefs situated about 1/2 mile off Roman rock light.That is about 3 miles from the harbour.
Wind was light south and sea conditions were good with a 1 1/2 foot swell.
South wind is good for fishing as it keeps the sea flat.
First anchor didn't produce too good size fish and we moved off to the next reef.
This however proved more fruitful delivering good size black bream.
Many smaller size fish were released like black bream , gurnards and silvers.
As the light south wind dropped away we decided to retrieve the anchor and drift fish.
This proved to be a winner as its the best way to get the big reds.They are basically loners and are rather few and far between. However they are found on occasion and are highly prized by anglers, considered to be one of the top bottom fishes.A lovely eating fish, oven baked, barbecued on the coals or even pan fried.
They have a similar taste to crayfish and the meal can be complimented with a semi sweet white wine.What a great meal....catch, cook and eat.
Many smaller sizes were landed but were released.
After a few hours of fun, the day was rounded off with a close inshore scenic tour of the coastline as we proceeded back to harbour.
A great day was had by all, even the deck hands, oh yes not forgetting the skipper who really enjoyed the fishing adventure with his guests.
