Here are a couple of nice chunky bass that I caught this past Saturday from Rietvlei. Water level was very low so all the grass and green algae slime was compressed into shallower water, which made for challenging fishing. First one weighed in at 1.97kg Another shot of same fish. Second...

I have this Conoflex ros that I got as a gift from my dad many years back (think somewhere in the early 2000's). I still think that he bought it 2nd hand too. Just wondering if anyone has some more info on what this rod was designed for e.g. bank angling, boat etc ... And also about its...

Although there are way less species to be caught on lure during the winter months, the colder weather brings with it one plus - cleaner water conditions in most dams. This coupled with catfish's need to warm up by sunbathing in the shallow water creates a great opportunity to target them on...

It' s been a bit too quiet on the artlure forum, so I thought that I would do a quick report. Caught my new PB carp on lure a couple of weeks back at a very small and pressured Joburg dam. Was using my 7 foot MH spinning setup to cast a Sada lead head loaded with a red/orange large curlytail...

Had a big family gathering at the Vaal River just downstream from the Balkfontein water works. Had a ball all day Saturday catching all sorts of species on artlure, but the catfish eluded me. Had a +/- 20cm grass carp (one of plenty we caught on lure and fly that day) that I kept for bait. I...

Did a post in the Saltwater section about the catches I made on my recent trip to KZN. Follow this link to read: http://sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=96519&forum_id=25 Cheers

My plan was catching some larger specimens like shad, garrick, wave garrick etc. - but when that didn't work out I turned my attention to the smaller species on offer. Visited the Port Shepstone area for my first coastal break in more than 2 years. As this was a family holiday, I had to...

After a cold and unsuccessful outing on Friday for some river yellows and carp, I had an opportunity to get back onto the board after almost 6 weeks without any fishing. Went to my favourite Joburg city dam with the aim to catch carp, bass and barbel (all the other smaller species are still...

Bought myself a Mitchell Privilege Pro 4.3m (120g-180g) telescopic rod at the Mias 50% off sale. At R750 this was a real bargain as it way cheaper than what it retails for anywhere in SA and even online. (pic shows the 4,2m, but the 4,3m looks exactly the same ...) Now I need a reel to pair...

Hi, Im looking for a basic fly tying vice setup. Don't need anything fancy, just the basics. PM or reply if you have a 2nd hand or unused vice you want to sell (or get rid of...) Want to try my hand at tying artlure leadheads. Thanks Werner

Fished a Central Gauteng artlure league this past weekend at Loskop Dam. The day started with us catching loads of undersize red-breast kurpers. It was quite a challenge to get ones lures past these feisty fish to target the other species. My first specie that count was also a new specie for...

I'm putting in another order from Japan for Owner tanago hooks. Note: they have no eyes, so need to be tied on with a snell knot. They work great for catching micro species like mosquito fish, top minnows and other small-mouthed fish on artlure, or bait if you'd like. Here's a size...

Had a quick family/fishing outing to a small dam close to home. Main goal was to practise using my new casting setup - and off course catch a couple of barbel on lure. It was the middle of the day, so the barbel weren't that active, but sure enough there was plenty of swirls on the surface...

Went down to my local city dam for a quick fish. Managed to catch my first vlei kurper for the season. And then hooked into a 23mm male mosquitofish, beating my previous smallest by 5mm! The male fish are significantly smaller than the females and have an elongated anal fin (gonopodium)...

OK, I beat my previous smallest fish by almost 1cm this Saturday. The pre-spawn bass weren't in the mood fir biting, even when presenting lures on their heads, so I turned my attention to the micros. Caught this Western mosquitofish on a tanago hook and small piece (+/- 1/4) of a white small...

Hi The last time I checked, about 2 weeks back, none of the micro species have 'woken up' yet from their winter lethargicness ... Going out this weekend to see if I can catch a few. Will also be trying out my new 'el cheapo' telescopic pole I got from a China shop - it should work a charm...

So paar videos wat ek op YouTube gekry het. http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=85818&forum_id=71 Cheers

Hopelik 'n lekker vet baber. Hier's 'n paar baberroep videos wat ek op YouTube opgespoor het. Ek het Saterdag weer probeer roep, maar niks so gevang nie, maar het wel 12 babers (en 2 lures) op my spinning setup verloor ... ek kan nie wag om my nuwe heavy casting setup te koop nie ... Nogal...

Had a scan through a PDF of the records, and it got me wondering. They're listed under the categories LIGHT, MEDIUM and OPEN. Does this refer to the line breaking strain, rod power - and what about your leader? Other than having to belong to an artlure club, how do you register a record. Is...
