    All three are used but in tact with no punctures. Have remained inflated for several months. The patch you see on one of them is reflective tape, perhaps used by longliner for night time visibility. The other image is for scale if you don't know how big an A3 buoy is. Selling as a set -...

    Yes, this shameless promotion of a friend's specimen blog and Facebook page, but so much hard work has gone into it and the quality of the posts are so good, I can't help but share with those who may not know about it yet. CarpFever have just launched their first digital magazine to cap of a...

    New Trinidad A and Saltist Single

    I did a search and couldn't see these discussed anywhere so I assume no one has posted anything yet.  If they have...well look again! At least the Americans will be playing with some new toys soon... http://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-trinidad-a-reels.html

    I grew up estuary fishing at Witsand with light tackle outfits. I started fishing from the side as we didn't have a boat. Later my dad bought his first duck, a tiny 3m job with a 15hp. So now I was still fishing in the river, but the boats got bigger. The last duck was a 5.1m semi with a 90hp...

    Daiwa has a new logo

    Not sure how I feel about it yet? I guess they felt their old logo was a bit dated.

    Witsand Kob - Happy Easter to me!

    Headed off to Witsand (as usual) for the Easter weekend, keen to end a bit of a dry spell that's been hanging around for a while. Friday - Went out in heavy mist and managed to catch a gap and head out while it was still early.  Dead flat sea with not much wind (light SW) but only managed a few...

    Witsand Leerie on plug

    My old man, who's been retired in Witsand for just over a year now, has been plugging the river for leeries and giving the sea a break. After countless follows and catching a few small ones he hooked this 96cm beauty on light tackle and a small GT Ice Cream. Makes me just a little jealous!

    Where do I fish around Melkbos area?

    I've never fished the Melkbos area before, and I hear there are some spots that are a bit more tackle-friendly than the peninsula area.  I'm donating a lot of lead to the sea! Thinking about Sat or Sun for the last hour or so of the pushing tide...so, where do I go? Names will be helpful, but...

    Not sure what made me think about it now, but I was wondering what's the biggest belman you've seen? Not necessarily a record, but one that we've actually seen...not "I heard of a guy who knew a guy that once heard from this other guy..." I know there are a lot of fisherman out there that...

    Never posted in the flyfishing section before, plainly due to the fact that I'm an absolute novice! I'm going to be on the eastern side of the island next week and there appears (on Google Earth) to be large tidal flats that drop off into deep water.  Not to far away is also just a massive...

    Long weekend in Witsand

    So, I headed off to Witsand on Thursday for a birthday (the big 30!) long weekend...as luck would have it, perfect weather preceded what was looking to be a pretty bleak weekend. I had been checking Windguru frantically with false optimism hoping the situation would change, but alas, I resided...

    Witsand calls again...

    So I'm heading off to Witsand this afternoon.  Giving myself a whole week to break this blank streak I'm on in False Bay. Will definitely be doing some offshore work, and I'm keen to try the new 4oz Berkley jig-heads. Walt may be there in the week, but if anyone else is there, give us a shout...

    Ridiculous new campaign by PETA to remame fish "Sea Kittens"?!

    Hey everyone, for a dose of sheer hilarity, have a look at this link: http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/about.asp Only after pulling myself off the floor, regulating my breathing and wiping the tears of laughter off my face, was I able to fully comprehend the dire level of ignorance...
