Can anyone give me advice on where to park at Bazley which will be secure?  Wanting to fish there over the weekend.

Thinking of going down to Winkel tomorrow morning as it would be the 2nd day of the northerly and also a lot quieter than over the weekend. Anyone going to be there?

OK, now you catch an undersize fish but it is gill-hooked or has swallowed the hook completely and would die if released, what do you do? Also, if your answer is to keep the fish, how do you explain this to officials when questioned about your undersized fish?

I would like to fish Widenham this weekend getting there early on Sunday morning but there have been some reports about the safety at this spot.   Can anyone give me an updated report on the safety of parking in the parking areas or at the service station? Alternatively, does someone stay in...

Just wanted to give some feedback on my trip to Vidal this last weekend.  Being my first time there I was really impressed with the accommodation and the proximity to the beach.  The area is full of wild-life and sitting on the patio of our log cabin we saw Bush-buck, Banded Mongoose and Wild...

Just got back from Cape Vidal and a mate caught this fish in the bay on prawn.  A KZN Wildlife staff member told us it is a lampfish but could some-one here please verify this.  It was about 200mm and in fact another was caught by the same chap the following night in almost the same spot!

Going up to Vidal later this week and want to get a few bone fish for live bait.  What can be used to target them in the soft baits and with what size jig-head and hook?

Going up to Vidal this week and wanted some assistance with how to target small bone fish.  I am hoping to put one out as live bait get me a monster of a garrick.

Just want to know, as I missed the first few minutes, where Raymond and Mark were fishing LBSA in this episode.  Anyone give me directions?  It looked like a really interesting place to fish.

I did my skippers ticket with NSRI in Durban back in late 80's.  I have since mis-placed both the ticket and my log-book.  Can anyone advise as to how to get this re-instated?

I have the Shimano Speedmaster IV and have noticed that the Cast Control Knob makes no difference.  A friend of mine also has one with the same problem. Is there anything that I should look for or some maintenance that I can do to sort this out?  Being a multiplier novice I would like to use...

I see that this section of the forum appears to get a lot more hits than others so having posted this elsewhere and getting no response I thought I would post it here too.... I am heading up to Cape Vidal at the end of May for the first time and will be fishing both bait and drop-shot.  I just...

I am planning a trip with a few mates up to Vidal towards the end of May this year.  Will be using my Exage 1446 for bait casting and doing some light and medium drop-shotting. What should be biting at this time of the year and where should I target them? Thanks in advance

I have the Exage 1446 and find that the fit together is very tight and after using it I really struggle to separate it again.  Is this normal?  I know with my fly rods I use wax on the joints; is this a solution?  Should I maybe use some water-paper and make the fit a bit looser? Second problem...

I have an Exage 1446 which I have been fishing with a BG60 but want to get a multiplier for it.  I am mostly targeting edibles so what multiplier reel would you guys suggest and loaded with what line?  I also want to do some sliding so I guess 0.55 line for the first 200meters would be...

Having not fished the area for a number of years now I just wanted to get an update on how safe it is to fish at Widenham in the dark.  I usually park at either of the 2 parking spots near the south bay and fish in the bay or off the rocks. Also, if anyone has fished there of late I would also...

I was fishing at Sheffield yesterday, north of the main car-park, and saw quite a few other anglers also using drop-shot.  None of them were wearing Sealine shirts (neither was I because mine is on order) and so I was just wondering if it was anyone off the forum and if so what their reports...

Heading up to Umlalazi on 21 November for the weekend and having never been there before I was looking for a few pointers from people that have.  Will be looking at drop-shotting in the estuary and throwing a bait in the surf for edibles.  Any information would be most welcome. Thanks

I want to take drive up the North Coast on Saturday (01 November) to test out my new equipment (Daiwa Exceler 9' and Abu Garcia Cardinal 804) and was thinking along the lines of Sheffield, Tinley Manor or Tugela River mouth. Can anyone give me some advice on which would be the best spot at the...

Having just returned from a great trip to Flat Rocks in Transkei we are looking at a quick weekend run up the North Coast. What is the fishing like at Umlalazi?  Any reports, pointers, suggestions etc most welcome. Thanks
