Yellowtail Report from Spierre in South Africa (Our Fin Manufacturer!)


"Hope you've had some diving your side. We just came back from a dive at Dassen Island today - attached is a photo of some yellowtail and bream that we shot. The water was very nice and smooth with no wind and the water was relatively clean at the island. The fish were about two miles from the island in a large area with birds working on the fish. We had to dive through a layer of jellyfish and murkier water to get to the clean water layer further down to find some big schools of yellowtail, the water temp was about 15deg. The fish were fast moving as they were feeding on anchovies, we normally use a spinning rod to draw the fish to the boat and then shoot as the school comes past. Today we managed to get 20 yellowtail, when it gets really good at the island you can get your quota within an hour or two.
