Mapelane Light House Reef

52kg Cuta shot off Mapelane Light House Reef
30/06/2007

I grew up on Mapelane Light House Reef, my grandfather was the guy who cut the first road to the place in the 50's. So naturally I have a special place in my heart for the place. Every year I tell my mates:

We should go to spearfish off the Light House Reef at Mapelane during late June early July thats when the big cuta are around.

But we never seem to get there. I have experience the 'BIG Cuta' run there and it is amazing, my largest on line is 36.5kg ...... I was 12 years old at the time!
Now I get this 'surreal' picture of a 52kg Cuta speared off Mapelane Light House Reef, and all I can think of is - could have..... should have .... but we didn't!
