Here is the new range,    I popped into the local tackle shop and found this new range of Pumpkin Lures from Lume Lures. They are well crafted, come in two different sizes and are made from a synthetic/plastic material that looks durable too. The single treble hook is big, sharp and looks...

I recently acquired a boat and after watching the "Hier gaan ons alweer" DVD Barbel have become one of my favourite species. I have learnt a heck of a lot and would like to share some of the progress that I have made during the learning curve. When I originally made the decision to purchase the...

I took some time out and went to visit the Management of Rietvlei Dam to find out what those floating structures were in the water and what their function is. I was referred to Leanne Coetzee who is a Director at the Water Treatment Works just below the dam wall. I arrived unannounced and a big...

Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint..it goes like this: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving...

I'm going to spend this weekend in Potch, kids are enrolling at University, wife is involved with all the activities (yawn) and I definately dont want to sit in the B&B or the pub all day. Can someone please tell me where the fishing venues are in the area. Tx

Took the boat out to Harties yesterday and launched from Ifafi Aquatic Club. At the gate we had to present our COC & COF paperwork before being granted entry (first time this has happened to me, so well done to them). Once we were on the water I cruised past Meerhof toward the train bridge, it...

Onthou net die snaakse stories asb. Niks oorlog nie!! Ons staan in gelid op die parade grond en die een troep loer vir die Koporaal toe hy verby hom beweeg en die Koporaal se vir hom " as jy ooit weer vir my loer sny ek jou ooglede af sodat jy heelnag wakker le." Die troep langs hom lag lekker...

In a recent ESA show fish were caught and placed into some pools that were between the rocks. I think it was Raycat or Lloyd that said, if that fish was released back into the water that it would swim back to the school it came from and the entire school would spook and move off. How accurate is...

Google "Shakespeare Ugly Stik" and look for the youtube clip with the guy wearing a dark red pullover, click on the pic and enjoy.

My one rod allways outfishes the other. The rod type, reel, line, same bait, etc are all identical and the boat is moved around the dam to different spots. In the past couple of weeks I have probably caught 20 Barbel from the boat, 15 on the one rod and 5 on the other. Its weird but I'm sure...

My friends and I have become so hooked on Barbel fishing, thats almost all we do nowadays. No matter what the weather holds, Barbel always seem to be on the bite. Last weekend we caught 17 in a matter of 7 hours. They varied from 1.8kg - 5.5kg. Is that enough fish for one day, hell no, never, we...

I have surfed the web, read numerous posts regarding fishfinders, spoken to friends who own them and I am not convinced that fishfinders are used to their full potential. It is an amazing tool that can be used to your advantage but if you do not know exactly what each piece of displayed...

Hi, I recently purchased a Gemini semi rigid shallow hull rubber duck 5.3 meter with a autolube Yamaha 70. The prop is a 3 blade and when turning slightly to either side it cavitates badly. The boat is only used on inland dams. What do you suggest would be the best suited prop for this motor and...

This business bends and cuts out perspex forms and shapes by laser. They do windshields for boats etc. They are Three Cube in Pretoria 0128001825. Speak to Hanno

We had an awsome trip planned to visit Shakawe in the uppermost region of the Okavango Delta. There were nine of us and we were to take along three of our own boats. The trip was due to commence on the 17th Sept until the 26th Sept. The locals advised us that the Barbel spawn (Barbel run) takes...

Last year at the Jozini Tiger Comp we caught a lot of big barbel on sardine, that was actually meant for the Tigers. The biggest was 17kg and boy are they fiesty, must be cause they competing with the Tigers for some sort of food. What was also interesting is that it was the first time that any...

I have seen guys fishing and catching some nice Carp from a boat. I would like to give it bash at some stage but its new territory for me. What should your rig look like and how do you deal with line tension and bite detection with the boat moving around all of the time. 

Last nights ESA show was great. At last they are showing the real detail with graphics detailing the use of currents, the wind, the impact crabs have on your bait etc. Well done! What did you think of the show?
