You don't need a Stella and Horizon to have fun fishing... check this out, and old Loomis and Franklin Rod, mono line and KP reel... haven't had this much fun catching fish in a long time, although there where some moments I wished I had my casting glove with me. For the older gents, there was...

Shot this nice finger fin over the weekend and just want some confirmation on the species. Guess it's just below 3kg, taken near Hangklip/Overstrand.

As topic states I’m looking for someone that can do a multiplier to grinder rod conversion. Preferably in the Strand area but general Cape Town will be ok.

Hi, If anybody has a decent "heavy" fly setup they are looking to get rid of pm me please. Preferably looking for 9wt, 9ft rod with matching reel and preferably floating WF line, but intermediate will also do. Similar 8wt or 10wt might also do. I want to use the rod to cast big flies to bass...

Just out of curiosity are there any production surf rods in the 15-16ft plus range?

Inspired by the light tackle thread I though about how many times I have received a proper pakslae! Biggest hiding, probably at Robberg Point hooked in to sharp nose bronzie an heavy tackle... bit me off after about 5min, the same five minutes it nearly spooled me on a torium 50... Then I have...

I’ve been looking for a kayak to fish from on our local farm dams for probably more than a year.. After much shopping around I eventually bought a Vanhunks Amberjack 12’6 hybrid SUP Kayak. It’s essentially a plastic flat bottom fishing kayak with a flat deck which allows you to stand on...

I'm not even going to say it since most of us are probably already gatvol of the C-word and all the media hype around it. What will you be doing whilst staying at home? Cleaning reels, trying traces, making sinkers, reading more on fishing, or maybe scanning Google Earth for some new spots...

Whilst South Africas government seems intent on marginalising recreational fishers in favour of large commercial companies... we all know why... the people down in Aus are looking to create sustainable jobs through increasing recreation fisheries. They are also stocking indigenous fish (like...

Hi, I have two brackets to fit rod holders on my sup and want to get some feedback on the different types. The scotty ones which lock seem the best but are quite pricey, there are some similar rod holders but not sure how strong/ flimsy they are. I have fished of boats where these things keep...

Help... I'm looking to save up to invest in a decent fish finder that I can map the farm dams in my local area. These dams range between small farm ponds to sections of bigger municipal waters. I will be doing this off a kayak, so won't go bigger than the 7inch models. There are three...

Are there any shops in SA that stock Alvey Reels? Seems like there was still some activity from Alvey around three years ago and then things just went quiet.

So this weekend I went fishing in the Southern Cape. Didn't really have galjoen bait so decided to fish the surf with choka and pillies. The small fish were giving me a hard time so I decided to put out a whole pillie (on a 4/0 hook)... needles to say I got a screamer of a pickup which in all...

I love fishing for bass and bluegill with the light stuff... after getting bust up a few times on regular tackle I realized that I had to up my tippet strength from 5lb to 12lb otherwise I will just be loosing too many good fish. Check out my instagram for some videos @surfisha

A factional war lays bare a culture of corruption FULL ARTICLE AT https://www.groundup.org.za/article/fisheries-department-rots-top/ South Africa’s fisheries authority is in a state of crisis, paralysed by a factional war between its two most senior officials and hollowed out by a culture...
