I am interested in knowing what baiting strategy other bait boat users use when fishing a spot for a few days. e.g. do you use larger mielie bombs, do you use a smaller bomb but fill the buckets with whole mielies. I typically fish the Oranjeville area on the Vaal Dam and tend to use larger...

I currently use Shimano 10000 baitrunners when fishing with my bait boat. I have been experiencing 2 issues with these reels, not because they are Shimanos but because of the spinning reel concept. I have a problem with the line jamming by "pinching" itself on the spool when I take it out and...

I spent some time at Inyoni Rocks at 'toti this morning watching a dozen or fifteen fisherman catching some shad. There were about 40 or 50 that they were keeping alive in the rock pools and not one was a legal size. Such a pity. I scattered my late aunts ashes there a few years ago, I hope...

Ek het 'n tyd terug die idee gekry om 'n woonwa te koop om te gebruik as ek by die vaaldam gaan hengel, maar na die naweek se winde by Oranjeville wat my Coleman Event Shelter (staal raam, nie aluminium nie) in 'n bol opgevrommel het en 'n deel van 'n huis se dak afgeruk het, is ek nie meer...

So op nommer 99 het ek aan ma voorgestel dat ons die naweek vir 'n slag weer gaan 'n vissie of 2 gaan aankeer.  Ons het lanklaas gaan lyn natmaak en jare laas in die winter gaan hengel.  Die weervoorspelling het belowend gelyk en die chalat waar ons gewoonlik bly was nog beskikbaar. Daar was...

Hi Sealiners I periodically spend some holiday time in 'Toti and I've noticed a beacon flashing a few kilos off shore and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what it's for? It is more-or-less in front of the Spur.

'n Seuntjie op 'n klein dorpie wil 'n budgie koop en gaan na die plaaslikke teler. Seuntjie "Oom kan ek 'n bydgie koop asb?" Teler "Daar is twee duisend budjies in my hok, kies vir jou een." Seuntjie "Oom ek wil 'n blou budjie koop." Teler " Daar is twee duisend budgies maar net drie bloues...

An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Rimini, Italy, went to the local church for confession. When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional, the man said: "Father ... During World War II, a beautiful Jewish woman from our neighbourhood knocked urgently on my door and...

Several men were in the changing room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench rang and a man put the call on the hands free speaker-function and began to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: 'Hello' WOMAN: 'Darling, it's me. Are you at the club?' MAN: 'Yes' WOMAN: 'I am...

2 women were sitting chatting. 1st women "My husband said I should do something to take his breath away." 2nd women "So what did you do?" 1st women "I threw his asma pump away, that should do the job."
