This is why we go…

Quick up-date on me… I can’ed my day job and started at South Africa’s largest importer of fly fishing equipment. I am doing the IT management and web development.

One of the things I have to do is go through all the images we’ve accumulated over the last 7 years, pick the best ones and get them up on the site.

Here is why we go to the Seychelles, well it is one of the reasons…

Can you tell me how many fish you can count???

Close….

The photo was taken on the flats on Cosmoledo Atoll, this is a shoal of “runt” Bonefish, averaging 3 to 5 pounds. Some of these shoals can be thousands strong; this one was about 200 feet long and about 50 feet wide.

Last year when Jose Wejebe was on the atoll, a shoal pressed through and the guide said, “Bonefish, 11 o’clock, 40 feet…” he looked, turned back to the guide and said, “where bru??” he couldn’t see the fish, for the feesh…

If you can’t see the fish, try look for their eyes, there must be at least 50 fish just in that photo… if not a bucket more…

Very cool picture, indeed.  
I did spot one fish (looks like a puffer to me) just right of the middle of the picture.
That is a nice problem to have when you cant see the fish because of the fish  ;D

PS – good luck with the new job!
