Thank you @Rhyn155 for the comprehensive update! Wishing you stywe lyne as well! 🎣

How was your trip @Rhyn155 ?

Is there perhaps a map of Struisbaai which shows where the spots are? Going this weekend and I haven’t been there since I was a lietjie so no idea where any spots are. I’ve heard of Die las, Plaat and Stomp but can’t seem to find any maps or diagrams 😅
