We headed out out of Houtbay Harbor in search of Blue sharks. We had a limited window to capture the images we needed and the break in the weather was marginal at best. We traveled West and rode through the rain and fresh winds of the peninsular. We saw a few Tuna poling boats but no trawlers or long liners to make finding sharks and fish easy. The water temperature was suitable, we started chumming and the Blues found us. We ended up with 8 sharks ranging from 50cm to 2,5m in length. There were a few seals in the area which occasionally came in to have a look.
In the video you can see one shark approach and give the camera an inquisitive nibble.
Peter Verhoog was there to capture some images of these amazing sharks
