Hi Everyone
I can hardly believe that the holidays are over. The mad rush of holiday people turned Struisbaai on its head, and plenty of fish were caught - maybe not as many as some anglers wanted, but there were a lot of fresh cob, shad, yellowtail and red fish on the tables and braais.
December Holiday Competition
Our anglers were also quite busy and a couple of decent catches were entered for the December holiday competition. After discussions with the sponsors the following lucky anglers each won a great prize....
A Torium 30 - Sponsored by Dustdevil from Born2Fish
DaleBoth with his catch of 7.2 and 5.7 kg White Musselcrackers at Dana Bay on one day.
A Shark Cage Dive for 2 sponsored by Great White Shark Tours
Pipe with a Spotted Gully Shark of 170cm (26.7 kg) as well as 2 more of 160 and 161 cm at Bettys Bay in one day
Congratulations to our two winners! See all the entries HERE

Episode 7: Hidden Predator (TX: Monday, 21 Feb, 20:00)
The bull shark is the most aggressive and unpredictable of all the sharks, thought to be responsible for more attacks on people than any other. Last year the biggest Bull Shark ever recorded was caught in South Africa - in a river. Was this monstrous freshwater catch a horrifying fluke, or are there more shark giants prowling this river? Jeremy Wade heads to South Africa to see if he can land a monster freshwater shark of his own. See if last year's catch was a one off or if there are more monsters out there, and discover if the presence of this known man-eater is a human tragedy just waiting to happen
