Tigers still sluggish: Lower Okavango, Namibia: 14 July 2013


Dawid with the biggest Tiger (3kg) landed for the day...
We only  launched around 11:00 am on Sunday (14 July 2013) morning. Still managed to land 7 tigers. 3 Of them was above 1kg. Dawid lost a nice size tiger of about 5 kg close to the boat while waiting for me to ready the camera ....!!!

The fish are not very active yet with water temps around 65 F. One cannot really blame them. We missed one Nembwe strike. All the fish were caught in relatively shallow water (1.2-3m) off sand banks. There was not much action in the deep channels (with deep diver Rapala and Halco). Did not do any drift baiting.

There was time for some interesting photos from the surrounding area close to the banks of the Okavango river (below).
