On Tuesday and Wednesday one or two marlin were sighted but none landed. However, the weather was good and the anglers had fun trying for other species to enter into the Culcutta. On Thursday and Friday weather prevented them from going to sea but they were out there again on the last day, Saturday. No more Marlin were caught making Team Capetonian the winners!
