Almost forgot how good Bass Fishing can be!

We also had a little exitement when some of the Tilapia started showing interest in spinners.
Unfortunately it was only one or two of them showing interest and then they would only follow (There are big schools just looking at your lure go by...)
I decided to switch to a popper and started teasing one of the big ones. I worked it very slowly past the bugger popping it pretty hard every now and then. It finally turned and started to follow, but didn't want to take. I let it lie there for a couple of seconds with the fish turning around the popper, then I suddenly worked it away from the fish pretty fast, fish turned violently and, VAS!
Tilapia on a popper, first for me!

We go all over greater Cape Town within a 100km from Cape Town CBD. Saturday was on a farm dam between Stellenbosch and Franshoek. But we try to go to a different dam every time (sometimes you get the odd dud dam, but sometimes you find really magical venues)
I restored an old vrot dinghy, so I can't say I built it from scratch... but see the project below to gauge how much work (and blood and sweet) went into it...

Generally I quess that is the primaty purpose. The foam also provides structural strength depending on the typ eg. 4lb or 2lb, the lightweight foam is said to improve bouyancy.
Even read an aticaltaht said taht if you apply too much at one end it would decrease the draft in that area, but I would like to confirm this, I know about preventing the boat from sinking if capsized. There are so many formules dont know which is corect I'm build a catamaran like boat so it's difficult caculations.
