I have the older model Shimano Chronarch 100 that I used for Bass fishing. Lately the drags are no more smooth, but sticky. Where can I send them for repairs and is it possible to upgrade the drags. Can I order spares and do it myself. I do not want to wait a year before I receive them back...

End of August found me doing some bank angling in the Okavango. With water levels very low, my modus operandi was as follow. Drive around looking for rocky areas. Make a couple of casts. Move to the next area and repeat. Rock close to sand banks being the jackpot. Sometimes you hit, most of the...

I received the following mail: Ons het dokumente van Mnr. Charl Francois Hugo naby Theo's Super SPAR in Otjiwarongo opgetel. ID, bankkaarte en geweerlisensie. Hy is van Villiersdorp in Suid Afrika. Indien enige iemand ons kan help om hom op te spoor dat ons sy eiendom aan hom kan terug besorg...

This year we booked our annual trip to Leliekloof, about 25km from Jamestown. Our hosts, Dries and Minnie de Klerk made us feel more than welcome and catered for all our needs. Not a lot of hosts will ask you not to put an injured fish back, but rather clean and take home. To top it off, Dries...

This bronzy was caught by Harmen at mile 8. Throw bait with Mackerel fillet. Gave him a nice workout. A healthy specimen Must have fed on an elephantfish. Healed perfectly on the inside of the mouth. The spine came out easily. The release.

First trip in October 2013. River very low, but clear. Tigers slow and only on copper spoon. Drift bait only produced Catfish, one after the other. At least Frikkie, my fishing partner could play around with his camera and got a few great shots. On the way we saw this.($$$) Cats on drift...

The Jacobs Clan arrived at Swakopmund on 30 December for a week of rest after a long trip to Angola. Rested a day or two, then the boys got restless. Water conditions were such that we alternated between Mile 8 and an area south of the Bird Island close to Walvisbay "Rooi Drom" The Bronzies...

After planning for a long time, the old group, set off on another trip to the fabled waters of Angola. Unfortunately no one could predict water temperatures of 19 degrees. To say the least, fishing was bad, very bad, but it was my best trip ever as the whole family was present. I thank Renier...

Received a couple of pics from an angler that said flyfishing for tigers work He also said, circles will outfish the longrod A healthy set of dentures Clean release Thanks to the "Laaitie" for sharing, wish we could change jobs, but hey, some of us have to work.  

Maybe it is "empty nest syndrome," that reminded me of our festive season fishing. We had to cancell our trip to Angola due to unforseen circumstances but plan B dictated that we camp at Mile 4 and fish Mile 8 and south to Sandwich. Birdwatching house. Sandwich Harbour Gerhard working...
