FEEDBACK FROM OUR SOUTH AFRICAN SPECIAL HEMINGWAYS RESORT - KENYA
WHAT A DAY’S FISHING!

This was our 3rd day at Hemingways and as all fishermen are optimistic, our
expectations were high. We tagged 5 sails yesterday and 3 sails the day before our enthusiasm for better results infected our skipper, Jackson, his boat White bear is well known for a good catch. Today the 18th January began with fair conditions, a light N.E wind, a light cloud cover which burnt off by 1030hrs.

The fun started when a nearby boat B’snest had landed 05 sails to our Zero by 0900hrs. We washed our feet, a ritual suggested by Jackson to wash away bad luck, we couldn’t believe what happened next... our feet were not even dry, 4 sails were on our lines at once!!
The same pattern followed later in the day, by evening we had tagged 12 sailfish and boated 2 dorado’s.

The red flags told their story as we came to shore at the end of our days’ fishing. Jackson and his crew on white bear had given us a day to remember.

CRAIG GILSON.


Hi Kerry,
It was a very good trip, we all enjoyed it very much!! The only negative was the bus trip to Watamu. We fished for striped marlin but unfortunately only caught one, however we did get a few sailies.

Flights, food and entertainment was excellent.....a trip I can certainly recommend.
Kind regards,
Philip
