S with most fishing trips, my visit to Struisbaai in February started off with a phone call. My son, Craig, phoned me very excited: “Dad, will you come to the Struisbaai marlin comp with us?” “Sounds good, boy,” I replied. “What’s the deal? It turned out the boat, accommodation and entrance fee were all in — Dad’s coming! I was really looking forward to fish-
ing with my two boys — Craig and Ryan — who are now both top anglers. Ryan “Pulsator” Williamson had a very successful Cape Verde marlin season with over 131 marlin to his credit, and Craig was based in Cape Town, catching marlin and yellowfin from Hout Bay and Gordons Bay through his charter company, Big Game Fishing. Ryan and I flew into Cape Town on the Saturday morning and soon found our accommodation — a lovely house owned by Chris Steyn. Later
