Whirlpools, floods and BIG waves all in a days launch Umzimkulu Feb 23

Yeah well this launch takes the cake this 2023 season so far. Just trying to hold on made camera work a sheer impossibility. All the footage featured was put through a warp stabilizer during the edit. Which took two days to iron out into something almost useable.
These are inclement conditions. And we only went out to sea because for like 4 days, since the first couta video, we just couldn't get out there. The blue blue water has moved right in against the brown flood water, and the halocline has been really hot lately. But on this day, the wind, big waves and current were not in harmony with eachother. And, there was another problem...
29 Degree water! Duarte (fishbazaruto.com) won't even fish if it's like that! The fish get so lazy. They hardly move! My Dad says this is the hottest/warmest water he as ever seen in 40 plus years of fishing here.
We have Bulelani Saunders here, from the Transkei, doing his fishing guide course and man is he getting a baptism of fire. He actually thinks this is all just normal! Crazy launches. Wild seas. Couta!
• Niteshifts First Couta...
Check that video out for what the days out here are supposed to be like! Featuring the Niteshift's first couta of the season.
We (umzimkuluadren...) are running an Advanced Surf Launching course soon for some guys. If you are interested in a course like this, or becoming a fishing guide, please get in touch via that website. Or Sean on [e-mail].
Check out mydofishinglur... for more about what to do once you get out through the waves.
We can build you a website by Tiger Lily Consulting at tigerlilyconsu... and help you build sales. Or a complete system.

Hectic conditions for hardcore fisherman... Well done to the skip. Have you thought about mounting a camera to the boat Sean?

[@surflaunchingsouthernafrica]

Hey Brendan! Thanks man! Dude, I have lost so many cameras doing this by now. The best results came from my GoFish cams but they are all toast too. So I just use what I got for now...will upgrade again soon!

Well keep up the good work Bru. This channel will definitely go far... 😃
