Elephant Fishing Encounter: Lower Okavango Namibia 6 October 2013

Largemouth Thin-face (Serranochromis angusticeps) caught with dropshot (1/2 ounce jig with modified paddle tail plastic)

Dawid with a Largemouth Humpback (Serranochromis altus) caught with a meduim size double bladed copper spoon

Went for a spot of fishing Sunday, 6 October 2013. The river is very shallow and difficult to navigate with hippo's occupying all the channels between the sand banks. Still managed to land 14 large-mouth and 6 tiger-fish. Lost some big tigers while trolling. The water was murky in some places. Water temperature, 24.9 'C Caught most of the largemouths in eddy's behind sand banks. Tigers were biting in the deeper channels (2-5m) 

Saw several groups of elephant crossing the river. One young elephant showed his discontent when we passed him on the bank to close to his liking. The video is available at: http://youtu.be/2mHoF4oqVCQ
