Dear Galjoeners, A group of us fished for Galjoen and other reef fish at Die Dam, the reefs adjacent to the Hoe Walle at Buffeljags, Pearly Beach reefs and Uilkraalmond this last Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We had big seas with great looking working water, with winds progressively changing...

Dear members, I am going to fish at Die Dam this weekend. I don't expect people to give away their secret bait collection spots but I would be most grateful if you could provide me with general locations where I can find blood worm and prawn near to Die Dam. I have heard that Uilkraal's Mond...

To those in the know... If you are unable to source bloodworm and prawn what baits would you recommend as alternatives for the Struisbaai area? If there are natural baits in the area such as other marine worms that can be sourced from the beaches and reefs then please include them in the...

Dear Forum, Will be on holiday during 2nd and 3rd week of April in Jongensfontein. I am well familiar with the bank fish that can be caught year round on the reefs but would like to know whether any of the summer edible and non edibles are still around that area at this time of year. I...

Dear Forum, I thought that I would just lament about how bad the bass fishing has become in and around Cape Town. I was in the mood for some uncomplicated fun this weekend and embarked on trying to source farm dams that offered day visit opportunities so that I could do some float tubing for...

To those in the know, Firstly I am not expecting guys to share their secret spots as we are all aware that the hook and cook brigade can wreak havoc on our favourite reefs. What I would like to know from you guys is whether Galjoen are a winter fish on the west coast. I am aware that they...

While targeting Bronzies yesterday I observed a group of anglers that manged to land a Bronzie in the 30kg size class. Instead of releasing the shark they decided to swim it out as live bait. It brought me to think about what are the ethical boundaries in our sport, particularly around shark...

Hi guys, Was up in Pretoria this weekend and was dissapointed to see how expensive the Lume and Sada pumpkinseeds were. Don't get me wrong they are great lures but I can't afford to loose 5 or 6 lures a session. Are there any posts that have visuals or procedures on how to make your own lures...
