Ek kom nou net (19:00) uit die see by die NSRI gebou en sien 'n klomp perlemoen skulpe daar le, meer as wat gewoonlik hier uitspoel. Ek skop toe een om en sien daar is nog vleis in hom. Kry toe meer as 20 doeie perlemoene daar. Is die net 'n tiepe rooi gety of is dit besoedeling? Is ons nou hier...

Went out tonight in a HOWLING south easter to  try out my new setup. 15 lb braid on an old okuma reel and a p&p telescopic kiddies rod. The setup works like a dream. the rod is short enough to fit into my fish-box and very soft for the dropshot retrieval. Not mush happening in the sense of fish...

Yesterday I replaced the bearings and brushes on the Bosch alternator on my W 124 merc. when everything was back the ignition lights of the car was dead when you turn the key. What did I do wrong? The car still start, but it does not charge. I've put back the old brushes, but still the same...

I received a Rapala digital scale for a birthday present. Problem is it measures in pounds. Does anybody know how to change it to kg?

Tonight a cob took my dropshot and was fighting so hard the gear on my Okuma Chaser 30 stripped. I know it is a cheap reel that I bought second hand, but it was all I could afford at the time. Now I'm platsak again after investing in a Garmin Fish Finder. Any suggestions what I could get to...

I went out tonight to catch the last cob for 2010 and had lots of fun. The wind was not as bad as this morning, but I lost a few nice fish (was only playing around and testing my new FF). This was the second last cob caught in 2010. The last one was taken by the taxman. I hope the seal gets...

Every year we put up lights and decorations in the garden and it brings a lot of joy to the children, young and old, that drive past or walk through my garden. This year I made a life size sleigh and 2 reindeer. Last night the reindeer were stolen from my garden. My wife has lost all faith in...

Did anybody get anything in Melkbos area over the weekend apart from the cob I caught on Friday evening at the slip?

After my first yellow tail on a lure I had from school days, but never used before, I decided to try my hand at lure making. I just want to hear if you think they could work Or am I wasting my time?

Weet iemand iets hiervan? Blykbaar volgende Saterdag.

Went out this morning from the slip here in Melkbos and tried for snoek trawling my new rapala X-rap. nothing. Dropped anchor in 25 m water and sent down a sardine. Later I felt a dead weight and thought I was stuck on the bottom. After a hard pull it started to move, slowly and I got a nasty...

I could not take the withdrawal symptoms anymore and just had to get a fix. So I took Myyak out tonight at the slip and made a few casts on light tackle and white mussel. Got some nice bites and eventually landed a 20 cm hottie. It looked so small. When I landed just before dark, I met Mario on...

It seems like I'll be looking for snoek off my kayak Saturday morning at 3Anker Bay. Storm and Bulcky, are you also going to be there? Who else? 7 at the same place as the comp 3 weeks ago?

And my second. And my third, as a matter of fact, I caught 7 snoek in the going for bronze comc. The biggest one was 4.5 kg, my biggest fish ever!!!!!!! We had lots of fun.

What is the bag limit for hotties? I see in Cape Coast Fishing Guide of Len Jones that the limit for bronze bream is 30 cm and 2 per day. And this species includes hottentot, john brown and blue fish.

Does anybody know what the oil-rig is doing next to Robben Island? It looks like a Christmas tree at night. A few weeks ago there were 2.

I was looking for an excuse to test out my new paddle and when I heard that a kob came out from the side I was there. The paddle works like a bomb, thanks Steve CT. Must still get used to the different angle, but I had no problems in the wind or in the big swells tonight. It was a bit late...

Spoiled myself today and picked up a brand new one for just over R300.I was wondering if it would be any good for dropshot off my kayak or would it only work for bait casting?

After the photo of my recent catch on the WCKA 2010 thread, I received numerous enquirers about my fish box. When I got my Chumani last December I wanted to customize it and make it into a fishing kayak. Having spent more on myself than planned and budgeted I had to make plans that did not cost...

My sincerest apologies to the surf angler who's line I had to cut off tonight. The line got tangled with my anchor line. I was busy untangling it when you started to reel in. The only thing I could do to prevent the hook from being set in my hands was to cut your line. It was already dark and...
