REVO...

"after looking at the photo of you and that Wrasse, I have some advise for you when you next visit the gym.... ask for a refund !! "

Well, I can benchpress you!

At no point did I say I was into bodybuiling, did I?...I am Infact into powerlifting...totally different ballgame...It helps alot to stay lean but strong when I do Ironman tria-athlons...

Maybe I should gain a few kilos and enter for world's strongest man though?

LOL - Couldn't help laughing!

tried not to but the image in my head of a human benching another was to much.

Herman, when fishing from your camel canoo how do you stop it from being blown by the wind and how do you keep it steady for fishing?

thanx

camel canoo / cammo canoe?

I took a veggie can, poured in almost to thet top with lead, put a big swiwel in it and when the lead had set , I cut the can off.

To this I then attach a rope ( about 15 metres or so ) that is attached to the canoe.

When the wind is very strong I will use 2 anchors.

I use to drag a chain of about 1 metre attached to the rope, but it makes to much noise in the canoe and takes a lot of space!

Hope this helps!

Ok, in the interests of moving forward...

Herman, I do fish off a canoe once in a while at Albert Falls. I know your method of anchoring is effective, but should you wish to drift, do you just drift with the wind, or use a drogue? The pulling up anchor/dropping anchor/pulling up anchor just hacks me off.

For drifting i choose the drag chain method, but I know there is a Drift sock on the market for float tubes and canoes...I will search for the info on the net...

i have seen where you take a bucket or weigh bag drop it in the water and that slows you down. make sure it's an open mouth weigh bag.

"I just find it sad that some anglers base their ability and reputation based on the anglers they fish with..............."

Ek weet nie wat jy nou eintlik probeer se nie, maar as jy dit op my gemik het, wel ek het al teen Nicky gehengel, maar nog nooit SAAM met hom nie...

My "ability" en "reputation" het niks te doen met saam wie ek hengel nie!

Ek weet egter nie of dieselfde vir jou gaan nie en ek quote ":see them boyz regularly I fish club comps against them........"

Dis vir my heel duidelik dat ek en jy nie sommer oor iets sal saamstem nie, want ek is 'n wiseass en jy ook, so los eerder die persoonlike aanvalle en deel eerder kennis uit ipv neerhalende aanmerkings....

I myself am not up for this task as I donot credit myself as a dedicated bass angler........

I don't as well. But for the shits and giggles I will take up that challenge. Hell I wiped Revo at the last Inanda classic lmao (Revo just had to get that one in HA HA HA HA)

I think the major problem with most of the guys on this site is the fact that you don’t understand Afrikaans peoples humour. Like that “as dit nie vir sies was nie was jy nie hier nie”. Any Afrikaner that hears that knows it is a joke. Herman has a different sense of humours. I have spoken to him over the phone a couple of times and the fact is you just need to understand him and don’t take everything he says up seriously.
Hell I know of a lot of people on fishing sites that don’t like me. But hell that is there problems.

But all these personal attacks are getting irritating. Hell if I want to hear guys bitching and moaning the whole time then I just listen to lion supporters. We are all here to learn from each other
