Thanks v much for the birthday wishes. Look forward to meeting you in the summer on Arrowflash.

 

Just back from Capetown SA where I caught a 20-25kg brown ray on a lure which I cast out from Gordon's Bay marina wall in search of shad. Took about 20-30 minutes to reel it in as I had relatively light tackle, was hard work! Actually thought I had snagged the bottom at first until it took off. Could not bring it up the wall as I did not have a net, so I cut the line. (I did not want to kill it with a gaff so no picture) Fishing conditions were pretty bad with a strong south-easter blowing a gale, so I was quite chuffed to get it in. Apparently, it is very unusual to catch a ray on a lure the locals informed me.

 

I look forward to having another try next year.
