All Jigging and Popping Addicts - we are now up and running (bags under eyes from lack of sleep) but yup, the website is taking it's 1st Baby Steps.  

Went out with "Weskus" on his boat "Seriola" (21' Butt Cat) this morning, around 38 miles West of St Helena Bay. After 3 false starts and instead of leaving the slip at 05:45 we finally got going at 09:40 (all of us including the skipper were using words like Shite, Damm, Fark, and Count...

has his front teeth knocked out?

Hi all! I am going down to Britannia Bay for the weekend, and will hopefully do some offshore fishing on Friday and Saturday. Does anyone have access to the satellite images that show water temps, for the area off Saldhana, Cape Columbine, St Helena Bay out to around the 200M Contour?  I am...

OK - the name says it all. No Bull-Turd. This (shiny, silver marvel of engineering - has no issue with 45lb's Drag. Yup, and it's smooth and progressive)  is going onto the JigStar 450g animal that Chris Wong has provided for me. - Nepptune calls it the Stealth Bomber. A very appropriate...

I am gobbsmacked! Never thought it was possible, but leave it to our American cousins to achieve this in 2.1/2 hours......amazing what these spinning reels are capable of these days. I have a Spheros 8000FA that I cannot speak highly enough of......... never thought I would ever see this though...

Hi Guys, here is the Text update I received from GL last night. "17 Species and Counting. Couple of GT and MANY different Grouper today. Having sashimi as starters again. One rod snapped, and Reefer is learning fast. Wish you were here. Cheers, GL" I think most of us wish we were there.......... 

GL and Reefer, travel safe guys, catch LOTS, take LOTS of pics, Enjoy the trip and we wish you the BEST for this one. From Linda and I, travel safe and have a wonderful time!!!! All the Best, RB

I visited one of the local tackle dealers yesterday and the subject of price increases came up. A scary discussion it was. It would appear that a lot of the importers didn't have forward cover through the end of 2008 and with the Rand volatility against major currencies over the last few weeks...

After some serious negotiating with Father Christmas and his little helpers, I have been told on good authority that a Gorilla 20 will be arriving in SA on the 9th December with my Mum in Law.......... I can't wait. I believe it will have to remain under the tree until 25th December, but I can...

Seeing (hopefully) that the Tuna should be back here  early October, I would like to know  how is the YFT and Longfin fishing off the West Coast? Particularly off  Saldanha, Britannia Bay, St. Helena Bay , Port Owen etc? I have seen that there are some charters who have suggested that they have...

I had my Shimano Calcutta 400B fail on me at Bazaruto on the 16th May. This is a little gem of a reel that I have landed a good number of Bonnies in the 6-7Kg class from the boat, when the levelwind stopped levelwinding. I landed the fish and packed the reel away, and carried on fishing with...

Normally I get the odd weekend opportunity to fish various spots when we launch from Gordons Bay and have caught many good sized Kob and Geelbek from December thru March - but this has always been using whole sards fished just off the bottom at various reefs off place like Swartklippies...

Finally bit-the-bullet and did the deed. Bought the TRQ 300 and am collecting it at 09:00 tomorrow. Will be a few weeks before I get the chance to get it wet, but heck that's something to look forward to. It is my 1st non-Shimano purchase in a number of years, but this thing is a monster so it...

Hi All, Here is a pic of Linda's Queenfish that gave her a lovely tussle. It is a BIG Queen, and even our Ghillie - Daniel -  was Super Impressed!!!! This was her 1st BEEEEEEG FEEEEESH, and the bug has now bitten
