Just a couple more pics, I have now been mailed one of the guitar-fish, not the best picture in the world but just to let you see what a weird kind of fish it was. Not sure on the exact make up but it is like a cross between a shark and a ray. This took a dead mullet, cast about 10 metres out, a gentle lob out, a proper screamer of a take and another half hour battle !!

You seem to be smiling a lot in the photos!

Why would that be? :P

Fantastic trip and a great trip report. Thanks.

 

Here is a slightly cleaned up shot of your guitar-fish. I just changed the colour balance a bit.

Good result, good pictures, Thanks for sharing that with us.

 

Thats a pretty impressive list of catches, particularly the manta ray !

 

Cobia is one fish that has eluded me.

 

I feel a trip to West Africa coming on....

Apologies for the delayed responses.

 

Thanks Newt,

 

makes a great difference, I really appreciate the effort you put in.

 

Vagabond,

 

The variety of species out there is something else, as I said I would have been happy with a decnt barra and a jack or two, to get as many as I did was a very welcome surprise, and as for the Manta, well, I must have pleased the fishing gods at some point in my life, or it was payback for all those cold wind swept blank early mornings :-)

 

The Cobia are incredible fish, and according to some reports are more prolific around a couple of the other known marks, 40 in a day had been known !!!

 

I'm looking at returning there already !!

 

N4lly,

 

the deckies went out with cast nets in the morning but by the time we hit the right tides they had been in the box 8 hours, we did get one aborted take from a big Tarpon but no other interest, maybe next time :-)

 

Thanks for all your comments and photoshopping.

 

 

Jason
