To timers kamp med en Copper shark på 2.20m, fra land. Utras på flere hundre meter og kamper som strekker seg over flere timer. I februar er fisket langs kysten av Namibia på sitt aller beste. Eller verste, om man vil.
 Reisemålet er Swakopund, en liten idyllisk by ved Swakoelvens munning på Afrikas vestkyst. Namibia er er svært karrig og tørt land, men langs kysten yrer det av liv, både over og under havflaten. Ibex Tours har gleden av å kunne tilby en sportsfiskeropplevelse du aldri vil glemme.
Fisket foregår fra strand, klipper og fra båt. En normal fiskedag starter normalt ved syvtiden om morgenen og varer til utpå ettermiddagen. Eller til fiskerne er utslitt, noe som er et vanlig fenomen. Sesong er fra juli til mars, med februar som topp på haifiske. Da fanges det hai på 90% av fiskedagene.
