Just returned from a fantastic holiday in Moz. The customs officials on the Moz side are on a mission to make some extra cash. At our destination in Moz there was a South African resident in Moz that informed us of the following scam, ja right we thought! THE OFFICIALS MAKE AS IF THEY STAMP...

I am doing a small project of 4 days in each town, I would like to do an afternoon session during my brief stay. Which is the closest dam and what species of fish does each dam have? How safe a venue are they? Tx

A lot of times the word MOJO is thrown around without really explaining its integrity. Is it your attitude, your survival instincts, your will of expressing youself, blah blah blah and so on.... have you lost it when you become a pushover or how do you lose it?

Fished Rietvlei a couple of weeks ago. During the weekend a really serious Carp Specimen angler pitched camp next to me, all of this fella's equipment was camo, from his rods to the water buckets, unhooking mat etc. I just watched this guy go to work and quickly realised he was no mug. He came...

Spent the weekend fishing a rather large farm dam, whilst sitting around the fire at about midnight, sipping some red wine and starring into the glowing ambers all hell broke loose in one corner of the dam. It sounded like something really big was smashing its way through grass and reeds. I...

Just heard that our beloved Bulls will be playing in a pink & purple jersey, with pink shorts and socks when away game colours clash. Eish!!!! ok julle manne kan ons nou maar gas gee! Blykbaar die nuwe borg PUMA se idee! LOL

On both the vehicles that I use for launching the boat in freshwater we have a similar problem. Everytime I apply the brakes under a bit of duress there is a grinding noise on the back brakes that sounds like metal to metal and my first thoughts were that the rear brake shoes needed replacement...

You guys reverse those bakkies of yours so deep into the water, whats the best position for the transducer, below the towbar or between the spotlights?  

Being on the water during an electric storm is most unpleasant. Most of our fishing rods are also graphite. The current weather we are experiencing at the moment is more unpredictable than ever. Whats the best way to deal with the situation when caught on the water?
