Africa Wild

Some pics taken at the jetty in Richards Bay a few years ago. BC...these are small fry compared to your monsters!! -O And don't ask me what they are because I don't know!







A year later.





Don't know if you can make it out on the trolley, but these people brought in a Blue Marlin....what a waste!!

Great stuff Flutts, BB is operating

I agree on the marlin I don't understand why someone would want to kill such a beautiful fish and only because he wants to stand next to it for a pic and show off.

Or mount it above his pub, kills me

Hey, Flutts!

I think pic 2 and 3 are undersize shad..a Natal name!
Pic 5 is a blacktail!

Tx RP...they did all go back in the water.

Hey Flutts, RP got some correct


Pic1 Sergeant Major
Pic2 Shad
Pic3 Double spot Queenfish
Pic4 Fusilier (Normally around reefs in St Lucia area )
Pic5 Blacktail

I think we must ask Dewi for confirmation! -O

No need RP, Bushcraft got them all correct.

Don't come with that, Dewi! You don't even know what a shad is!

We have them here RP. The Twaite Shad Alosa fallax and the Allis Shad Alosa alosa.

I used to make my own rods ant tie my own flies when I was a lad I'll have you know. First ever fish I caught was a six and a half pound (Sea) Bass when I was seven years old (needed help to land it though).

Mostly fished Salmon & Trout on the rivers and streams nearby, but gave it up in favour of birding.
