Putting out a long line here but if anybody wants to sell or knows of anybody in the Western Cape selling a Stealth 555 or 575 please let me know. Nothing else please, just either of these. The 575 must be later model with live well.

I like a challenge and this summer I'm looking to up my species score on KP reels. The standards KP reel cost R327 for a 6'5inch reel...the cheapest R&S reel you can find (smaller ones are a bit cheaper and larger ones bit more). With everything becoming more expensive and disposable income on...

A couple weeks ago I went scratching of the cliffs here in my local targeting Hotties/Cape Bream/Bamboes fish whatever you want to call it. Used fairly light setup 11ft Berkley air and Calcutta 400 with 20lb braid. Thought I hooked a little cracker when this guy showed up... measured it when I...

As spring beckons and it looks like this week is the last one we will be pumped by three consecutive cold fronts in row I'm looking forward to some proper summer fishing again! What do you guys think this summer will hold? What's on you bucket list? To me, I want to catch some proper fish this...

Points are interesting places to fish. They normally allow access to deep water and this opens up the possibility of catching some big and odd fish that you don't often get when fishing in bays. They are however quite fickle when it comes to fishing, especially with wind direction, water temp...

First post on new platform, let's see how it goes... I'm looking at a dedicated surf setup, mainly to target or White Steenbras or the odd cob. I have been looking at getting a long cast reel for a while and seems the two options are the Penn Spinfisher VI Long Cast 7500 or Okuma Surf 8K. Penn...

Howzit, sold the fat bikes and have a couple of plastic kayaks on the way. Got a couple of Fluid Chumani kayaks, and want to install an 8inch hatch behind the seat so that I can insert my rods if needed. I saw a vid from Brett Armstrong of Wildcoast kayaks where they installed one on the...

Hi all, decided to see sell my two Big Dog Fat bikes, R7000 for both or R4000 each (they retail for about R12 000 each). They are in fair condition and the tyres still have plenty of grip, will need a service since they have been standing in garage for while now. Just not getting around using...

I'm scaling down my tackle and looking to get a medium action 13-14ft rod, rated around 4-5oz for fishing straight 65lb braid on a multiplier. There seems so be endless options for grinder / braid rods, but not much for casting specifically for braid, i.e. a bit slower action. My current setup...

Anybody know these reels... They make a narrow spool casting version (although lever drag) that looks awesome!!! https://www.seigler.fish/products/sgn-small-game-narrow?variant=32570247643187

The Cape... all of them... have strong winds, often cross shore. Yesterday I went out to fish with my grinder setup with an unseasonably strong east wind. I just couldn't land the bait where I wanted and immediately realised I would not have had this issue with a multiplier setup. Now for most...

Whether you are looking to escape the crowds, have a keen sense of adventure or just like cycling many have considered being a beach bicycle and particularly a fat bike aka dikwielfiets! A couple of months ago I bought two second hand Surge fat bikes. We live close to Hermanus plaat and...

Sorted, thanks.

Howzit, I know website cost money etc for hosting etc. but the amount of adverts and the size and placement is getting really irritating. Pop-up adverts every time I open a page and massive banner adverts in the middel of a thread really deteriorates the quality of the content. Since it's the...

The whole drone fishing "ban" got me thinking of how useless some of our fisheries regulations and DFFE are and what changes could be made to promote fishing, especially recreational fishing. Here are some points I've pondered for some time. 1. Fishing licence, you get a hard disc sealed...

The weekend I went surf fishing with my trusty old Daiwa sl30, loaded with 0.40 awashima mono and my old L&F 13ft6 rod... what a blast it was fishing with it in the windstill conditions off the beach. Fighting the fish was also a pleasure, nice stretch in the line, no worries of hooks pulling or...

I'm looking at getting a plastic kayak (have a few launch areas with plenty of rocks so want to keep away from the fibre glass). Will mostly be doing bottom fishing for kob and red fish, not too much trolling unless there are some odd Bonnies or tail near shore. Fluid Bamba R10600 Legend...

I got two fat bikes that I want to kit out, one for surf fishing (and the other for surfing). I just want to know if anybody has gone through this proses and have some tips to share, i.e. attaching a luggage carrier to the back with a crate and rod holders. Also, a good place to buy luggage...

I'm looking at fishing the area around Hermanus for the rest of the year and want to get a bit more info on the area. I know it's long past it's hay days but sure there are still fish to be had. Basically what I know is Steenbras and Galjoen on the Plaat, hotties off the bricks and then the odd...

Hi, I had a list of all the tackle shops in South Africa with their contact details. I can't remember where I stored it and can't seem to find it anywhere, it's not a list I made but was floating around somewhere on the inter webs, most likely got it here on sealine. Can anybody maybe help me...
