Hiya

Just returned from a 5 day holiday. Since the spearing was quite good in the Struisbaai area, myself and my wife deicided to take a short holiday. Amongst the GREAT spearing, we did manage to get some sight-seeing in as well!! Was actually fun just to act like tourists, chatting to EVERYBODY on the harbour about fish and fishing and sharks!!!

I unfortunately only went spearing on one of the days, which was when my dive buddies came down from Cape Town. Struisbaai is really NOT a place to dive on your own. We shot some nice Yellowtail and a couple of bank fish and was also greeted by a young 3m great white. Fortunately, nobody was injured and thankfully the shark was also left unharmed!! There were some anxious moments, with everybody scrambling to get on board!! Luckily for us, we only saw the one, so diving was resumed a couple of kilomteres away.

The picture with the GW approaching the boat was taken whilst divers were trying to get to the boat from the other side. The loaded speargun with powerhead was just a safety precaution, should things turn nasty.

Some pic's....
