Morning guys. Found this owl earlier today. It has a broken wing. Does anyone know of a sanctuary or whatever in the P.E./St Francis/J Bay area that can care for it? Please guys, he is not looking too good

caught in same general area about a month apart

This is a nice and easy way of rigging a crab especially for cracker and galjoen. first thing - choose your crab and then the size hook that fits best to it. ideally the bend of hook must be completely clear of the crab while the eye is just showing on other side. to rig - break off a leg on...

This gully looked very fishy to me. Fished the entire length of it for about 2 hours - not a bite. water temp was around 17-18 degrees and 2 hours after low tide. tried redbait, prawn, tjokka, crab and fish bait. Where are the fish?

caught in cape st francis of the rocks in very strong water on tjokka

Got this as a reward for being careless. barbel sting between the fingers - and it went in deep Swelling started about 20min after it got me. Have heard many stories about what to do, eg. urinating on it etc. As there was ladies present I went a different route and submerged my hand in very...

hey fellow sealiners I found one of my old man's old rods, a old purglas 400/3 Thinking of giving it a good working over. Is it worth the effort? Checked the rod, and it is still in pretty decent condition. A couple of eyes missing and the varnish is need of a touch up. No cracks or...

caught my first belman today using a 10ft loomis and sl20sh with 20pd line. Didn't put up much of a fight though - untill it reached the shorebreak! Sand prawn was the bait preferred by this fishy and a couple of blacktail and undersize white steenbras (not sand steenbras, didn't get any of...

Jis manne Ek wil net hoor of ons hier ook darem n paar galjoen hengelaars het. Ek weet daar is baie ouens hier rond wat droom om n paar galjoene te vang. Ek weet van n paar goeie spots in kaap st francis en st francis baai.

caught in st francis from beach. looks like a black stingray to me but never seen one before, so just a guess used my 10ft loomis and sl20sh with 0.30 line. he was pretty adamant about staying in the water mullet and anchovie fillet

Went to St Francis today. West was blowing so started off at Neville rd. 1st cast was made and while I was busy preparing bait I heard my reel running. I picked up my rod and felt something solid. Turned out to be about 10kg of seaweed. Seriously it was impossible to fish there. Every...

Bought some Xalin 0.45 line and to say i'm disappointed is an understatement. Its impossible to tie any kind of knot, line just keeps snapping. Have read on a couple of threads that some guys are very impressed with the line. Is this just a bad batch or something?

Well actually yesterday. We were on our way to Shelly Beach, but the West was howling - still digging sand out of my ears - so whe went to St Francis. Fishing the low tide we got a good couple of sand steenies and stumpies on the light stuff. Not much to look at, but good fun. The pushing...

The one thing that my dad taught me when I was little was to rinse my tackle when I get back from the sea, but as I got older and got back later in the evenings all I wanted was a hot shower, so I improvised. Why not combine the two. Got up this morning for a shower and thought it was...

Anybody knows what the water temparature is in the st. francis area. only a 40 min drive for me, but hate to get there and watch a tide of karel-grootoe rolling in - bloody peckers! especially on a saturday when I have a slight hang-over

Went fishing at cape st. francis yesterday. Foul hooked this poor bugger through the gills. Have caught them from time to time usually when the water is cold. Someone once told me its a butterfish and then again a fingerfin and also heard the name steenklipvis. are those all the same specie...
