I'm relatively new to carp fishing. I've been doing mainly pap gooi with mielies and floaties and a few times with a pva bag and boilies on a hair rig. Biggest so far has been a 9kg carp. After I've cast my mielie bom, should I continue to feed the area by flinging feed into the area where my...

I'm considering Bangha Nek in April. What's the fishing like in April? What's the safety and security like there?

I recently got four Predator Swingers to use with my alarms but two of them won't hold the line - the gap where the line clips into is too big. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it ?

Can someone tell me if its legal to use a cast net in the mtunzini estuary? Recently at Mpenjati a ranger told me to throw all my mullet back.

I'll be driving to Mazeppa next week. Can someone please tell me the best route from JHB ?

I find the first nibble I get and the fish sucks the chokka off the dangle. How do I stop this?

I broke the tip off my Benchmade Griptillian. I could reshape it myself but I'd prefer to have an expert do it. Can anyone recommend a knife sharpening service in JHB ? Or a serious knife enthusiast who'd be prepared to help me?

I'm looking for a fishing (barbel, carp, yellowfish) weekend away. +-2.5hrs from JHB. As close to the water as possible. Self catering. Ideally I'd like to fish where Im staying and not have to drive anywhere or walk too far. Suggestions appreciated.

Im battling to find a decent one. Apparently there are supply issues with Rapala etc. What are you using - in the car ? At the beach ?

I've only recently started throwing a cast net but so far: Mullet Moonies Stumpnose Grunter Yellow fin kingfish (is there such a fish?) Glassies Blaashoppie Crab

On Sunday 5 April at Mpenjati I lost my boat. It was about 400m out when the batteries died. It's got my cell no on it and a Reach for a Bream sticker. I'm gutted. If anyone hears about a boat being found please contact me.

I bought a cast net about 15yrs ago. Not sure of the brand. Never used it until yesterday and, as expected, I'm battling to throw it properly. I was wondering if there is a cast net that is better than the rest. Would it make a difference to buy a new modern design (one that miraculously opens...

Does anyone want to sell me their KP? 9" minimum. Preferably without line.

Does anyone use any of these items? Specifically the tiny glass rattles. You spend extra time and money to make fancy baits but your mate standing next to you puts the bait on the hook and casts. Is it worth the extra effort?

I saw a system where three clips with three baits were sent out at the same time. The clips stayed on the line when reeled in - they stayed at the rod tip and were pushed up the line with increasing sized swivels - there were different sized holes in each clip. Like this ...

I think Splash rock in Port Edward would be a good spot in a NE or SW. Southbroom point as well. Where else on the South Coast would be a good kite spot?

I'll be at Jozini for a few days in December. Can someone please tell me what lure to use for tigerfish ? And bream?

In December Im doing Jozini for a few days and then Mtunzini. Im hoping to get a some rays and maybe a Zambi or two. I'll be taking my dinglehopper. Does anyone have any tips or pointers for the area ?

I bought my son a Kingfisher telescopic rod. First day out line got snagged on some reeds. I tried pulling it free and it literally shattered - broke in four places. I was hardly pulling, shouldn't have broken. I went back to Sollys and related the story. They gave me a full credit on another...

How long can a barbel live in the mud eg in a dried up dam ? How long can they live out of water completely - on the side ? Can a barbels weight be estimated from its length like with sea fish ?
