I can't remember when was the last time I kill the fish , but must be sometime in early 90's ,last Century.

Last Week ,I killed more than 50 -60 kg in just a few hours of fishing from the boat ,near to the Cape Vidal, Saint Lucia, North Coast of South Africa ,Indian Ocean .

Some people down there do live for and from the fish caught in the Sea , it is the way how they're surviving.

Yes, after half of dozen unsuccessful SWFF trips, in 6 hrs I caught almost 60 kg of SW fish. The biggest was Quinn Fish , almost 13 kg.

If you ask me am I happy after all of that, I must tell you -not ,I am not happy, because of the bad deal I've been forced to made with boat owner and his colored assistant ,if I want to catch any fish.

The deal was : if I want they to do teasing for me, and bring the fish on the fishable distance and depth for using FF tackle , they will keep all the fish I catch.

So, they did bring lots of fish on the surface for me, they put me above couple of very productive and shallow underwater riffs so I caught lots of Snoek, Quinn Fish , Rock Cods, and other species I don't know the name. The Boat was full of fish blood, my hands as well, dead fish eyes all the way around…..

On the end, I told'em I get a sea sick ,so I stopped fishing, meaning I stop the killing, it was too much even for one bad Serbian guy ho did survive couple of Wars in the last 15 years.

The rest of the four days at Cape Vidal, I'd spent in very relaxed fishing from the beach and rocks ,catching and releasing lots of small to middle sized Wave Garricks , it was light and decent Salt Water Fly Fishing I like to do.

On the end of my Cape Vidal SWFF killing adventure I was clear with one issue : there aren't so many good things in life one could do, but at least one can practice Catch and Release ,this is one of the best thing one can do.

There is no such a pleasure as Catching the nice fish, and then Release it in good condition !

Think about that.

Cheers,
Zoran
