Hi Guys Did some bass fishing between chrissiesmeer and Warburton this weekend, thought I'll share some pics. Fishing weren't to good got only four for the day, suspect the cold front and rains we had during the week might affected the bass (sounds like a damn good excuse). The water in both...

Hi Guys I will like to get your opinions on the different 16Ft cats available on the market. I am interested in getting one early next year and will like to get your inputs on which boat you will recommend. I don't want to go bigger than 17Ft as this boat will be used for mostly family outings...

This method of fishing is definitely very effective and a productive method, and is a must if going after game fish. Jigging can be used effectively for not just catching fish but also to entice fish in striking and works very well while drifting for game species as one or two anglers can jig at...

Inhaca Island on the southeastern part of the African continent is situated in the southern parts of Mozambique 36km from the capital Maputo. The island can either be reached by ferryboat, which isn’t always very reliable on departure times, or by airplane from Maputo airport. Accommodation...

Some valuable information on downriggers from the net also "I like to keep my downrigger fishing simple," says Dave Workman, a three time past winner of the SKA's Top Angler of the Year. "I want my downriggers to go down and to come up, that's what my Penn model 835 electric downriggers do...

This is a article that I found on the net, I haven't tried it yet but it is very interesting information. 0n almost every trip, a couta is hooked up while trolling and when the boat's power is put into neutral, a drifting bait is nailed by a nearby fish. After the hooked couta are landed, the...

I have released a lot of fish (but not all some has to end up in the pan as well) but never tagged any. Where can one find a kit and what is the cost involved in purhasing a kit. This is maybe a stupid for question some  but how do they monitor the tagged fish, who do you contact if you should...

Some advice if you can't catch big carps get your son to hold the fish instead, at least the fish will look a lot better. He caught this carp at bloemhof, which was quite a achievement considering the fish weight was nearly a third of his weight at the time. He was eventually crying while...

Vertical jigging for offshore fishing is definitely an effective method for landing those extra fish. We have used this method in combination with the normal baits while drifting for game fish with excellent results. The advantage of this method in combination with drifting live and dead baits...

I am writing this after an article in the tight line (May edition) will probably write something to them as well. I was quit intrigue by the comment of one of the readers letters about how the fish was murdered and depleted by us fisherman at Shelley beach. The first comment I would like to make...

One thing of fishing for tuna at Shelley is that you have to pump and pump fast before the tax man gets you. Fortunately this one din't get away.
