I bought this 13' Hobie with the idea to convert it into a shallow water fishing machine. (It was a bargain at the time. Only paid R900 for it). I soon realised that I don’t have the skill or tools for the job. Now it is lying in my way and I want to get rid of it. The hull is still in a good...

I was cleaning my garage and found some of my old anchors that I don't use anymore. The chain sections is stainless steal. Any reasonable offers will be considered.

Instead of sticking with what is proven and work, I, like most anglers, am always looking for things that “work better”. And the manufacturers know that and take advantage of our weaknesses. My last costly exercise was when I read about Berkley “Nanofil”. After reading the write-up I...

I have been experiencing problems lately with my FF and had a close look at the pins. I noticed that one is shorter than the rest. Must it be like that or did I somehow destroyed my FF? I've always used silica grease to prevent corrosion in the pins and did not notice this before.

I heard this morning on the news about a fishing boat that overturned at Plet and that 6 people are feared drowned.The body of a mother and her 8 year old son has been found by this morning. I have not heard anything more. Is there anybody that knows more about this sad story? This is a very sad...

Looking for things to airbrush, I made a mold and had it casted in aluminum. Made the first spinners tonight, but the pure lead look so good I'm thinking of keeping them shiny. Maybe just a coat of clear to keep the shine.

Still learning about airbrushing. Also having problems getting rid of air bubbles in the gf resin for the eyes.

I made this Nemo spinner for Clown. It is a lead spinner. What I need to know is do you use a primer on the lead or do you put the color duco straight onto the lead?

Got myself an airbrushing kit yesterday and started to play around as the water is too big to fish. Made this lood. Any good for snoek?

I've been toying with the idea of joining copper and lead in stead of just a lead sinker for snoek. I want to know what the gurus and old snoek hands think of my idea. Will the snoek eat this or am I wasting my time?

Went out tonight to my secret spot at the Melkbos slip and only caught 2 hotties. The one was about 35 cm (given to the car guard), but the other one was 41 cm fork lenth (1.5kg cleaned). Handline, 1/0 circle hook and 1/2 white mussel blob bait.

Is there anybody that know the area that could give us some advice? We are going for the weekend to Tietiesbaai for a manne naweek. A few kayaks and a lot of hungry men. Where and how is the best for kreef? Tietiesbaai or more towards Paternoster side. Are there closed areas where one may not...

Not here yet. I was out tonight at the slip. Se was howling, beautiful color. Water as not cold, but NO FISH. I chummed about a kg of sardine and only saw 1 haarder. Don't know what's going on. Only landed 1 pajama sharkie.

Catching it sight spinning on a spinner you made yourself. I've been trying now for a while to land something on a spinner that I made myself and yesterday it happened. I was out with Rob south east of Robben and there was lots of bird activity and the tail went  berserk. We got a few follows...

Went out Friday late afternoon for a quick session hoping that the cob have arrived. Landed one small hottie. Then  caught 2 smallish cobbies on drop-shot and tagged them. After sunset I landed another small one, but released it without a tag. Was scared I'd do something wrong in the dark and...

My son has challenged me to run the above mentioned 1/2 marathon with him next year. After a few years of fishing, i.e. no running, I've decided to go for a jog tonight. Just a short, slow jog. I must say I'm glad that my arms held out so good, as I crawled back the last km. I did not realise...

I remember there was a thread where Miles listed all you need to go snoeking. Line thickness for bait lines and loote. and also when to use a swivel and when not. and there was a lot of tips on snoek, but I cant find it. PLEASE HELP AGAIN, I'm busy putting together a mandjie.

Saturday we had some luck with the snoek and had to clean our catch. I only had a very short knife with me and had a herd time doing the lob (I'm still very new at this flecking thing). What are the requirements for a good flecking knife? Smooth or serrated? How long? And is there any brand in...

We went out on our kayaks yesterday to look for some snoek. Must admit that the water was not flat at all, but as I could not find a space with one of the weekenders, I followed on my kayak. We landed a couple of garnets and I got a little seasick. Called the snoek by its name and surely it...

Vannaand, net toe die son sy kop in die water laat sak, klap die mooi bul my dropshot. 3.5 kg uitgeslag. Lekker fight, het 5 runs gemaak voor ek hom aan boord kon kry.
