Hi All,
I just wanted to introduce myself. Been lurking for a while and have been learning a lot from all the posts - thanks very much to all the posters out there.
I have spent most of my life as a fly fishing fanatic but have recently been convinced to take up rock and surf fishing by another sealine member (Sharkskin) and am enjoying it immensely. Although freshwater fly fishing will always be my first passion, I really like the change of pace that fishing from the beach provides.
So far I only have one eagle ray of about 10kg to my name, caught on my first all nighter at macassor two weeks ago. I am determined to improve on that and am spending at least some time each weekend on the beaches in false bay or melkbos areas.
I guess the more that i am learning, the happier i am so it is pretty cool to be bottom of the food chain wrt rock and surf fishing. Hopefully in the future i will be able to contribute constructively to this site, or at the very least hopefully dumb luck will allow me to post some pics of some good sized catches.
Hope to see some of you out on the cape beaches.
Cheers
Grant
p.s. Here's a pic of my only catch so far:
