In Week 1, the festive season was made more special with the presence of family and old friends. However, the lack of rain and the enormous sea made it difficult to find fish during the first few days. Despite the challenging conditions, the estuary eventually started to come alive with Threadfin and Kob, and the guides’ perseverance paid off with a rewarding end to the week.
