gotta love this , eh?   700 km , 2   Nil .
Fabulous .
Camp David . Would Later be Renamed but for now - the fort was snug against The bushes . actuallu a nice place to plop your stuff down , but 12 ou's on a rocky point with a fire going and the Temp's set To drop into sack-shrinking figures , i felt My bed Was better made up at Palms ! .   Â
Â
Grown men using umbrella's on the BEach. What next - Pink Underwear . Sadly , i am Missing this photo , but unfortunately with the arrival Of the infamous BEVID hansen , Byron , with JVW in tow - i would soon see Kent hand Jannie one Of ken'ts Older Panty's and have a grown Man wear Pink On the beach .
'Takes all sorts to make the world turn ' ....is What I'm told .....
Â
This is almost Off The point looking towards The Mainland . Boep's Backyard . Compare their Campsite , to Ours :
I dunno Hey ...Built In Braai- Hot running water , a Bed - and complete silence .
Anyhow , Back to The Barbarian horde , who'd rocked up from Port elizabeth quite a tad Late .
Cant remember when Katot The alikreuk thief pitched- but I Was being given enough gas from Bevid and Kent , i wasn't up for a Lebanese pipe-smoker's Lipservice as Well .
Frikkie In the Meantime managed , between all the carbon technology , to Get himself a bait out . I'd brought The Literal Motherload along with Me , and Was so Keen to get him stretched as Well . We'd come a Long way to Meet The guys , and given that Duif wasn't There I guess Kent was feeling terribly Lonely (maybe it's because he's As tall as a 15 year Old boy ?and he jokingly walked around on the rock biting into everyone .  Old Fart . Very funny  , forthright and upright (for a 5 footer) kinda guy .Â
Â
Round 3 Of My bait consisted of what was working - More shark . i Noticed the Sea Lice there On one of boep's Baits , And couldn't get Over how damn quick These things dispense a Shad body off The head , completely gutting the Bait to no More than a bare Shell . I rigged up the tail Section on 2 J's , and Let it go .
Â
Â
 Time for the camera to do some work .    Sheldon Was off Catching fish , and Targeted Bronze Bream , and whatever it is that Eds Fisherman Target .
Katot showed up And Boeps had already gone back to fill The fridge with some liquid .
I was busy chatting to Delme higgs and faffing with a short 9 footer i'd brought with " for the Kollie's " That Boeps had promised us would be so dik there , when Delme called Me . I Thought he Wanted to show Me something ,but He'd Seen My rod go off , and i lifted My head to find The rodtip going down firmly .Again . Washed My hands And Gripped the Pencil .
 I Let It run for at Least 7 or 8 seconds before i Locked The Drag and Dropped The hammer . VAsss ..................................................
Â
This Was getting Ridiculous .
And all the time I'm thinking to Myself " This is ridiculous !!! Boeps Gonna bust a vein , I'm hogging all the Fish Bwhahahahahahahah !!!!!"
I lift The rod tip
Â
Fish Jumps
 Not even 60 M out . spectacular . These sharks twirl in fantastic fashion and really Lose it when they discover you are Trying to prevent them from Leaving . yoh . No rolling This time , just a clean sharp Jump .
As he jumps i Feel the line go slack again . I see The bait coming towrds Me and Realize I've pulled the Bait clean from his throat . Strange That The 2 J's Never got a hook up , but I'm sure it was nothing serious . Â
In Between hidings , i Still found time to sit and quietly chuckle At myself in Delight , and chirp Halfpint .  Bevid was now placing a Chokka bait out for any cob Brave enough to swim past the reef After his bait . Kent spooned a bit , walked himself off to a patch of bricks 300m North , in search of an Edible .
Still , i Was bleak . The score Was beginning to look heavily in Favour of The Sharks .

 And all the While I'm thinking To Myself :" watch it go dead now "
Justin Is getting agitated , as The usual bait is simply No Match it seems for The NEW Lennies bait lolol 1
 by now , I'm feeling bleak . Not Moeg - Bleak , Lees Mooi . i Mean- so i'm 3- 0 Down , it's 14h 45 or so already , no One else has had a pull yet - And i can't seem to LANd anything - room for concern ? Yip.
Â
very bad situation to be In . Â
Â
so now, what do :Stop using The shark fillets and Switch to something else, or go with what works ?
Bugger it , we'll stick to the plan and use what's working .
 we're up to about 10 or so Sealine's , and rodney , bevid's Better side of The Family , had brought his trini 50 along As Well , and we squashed a beautiful Looking Black Tail in between all of Our rods .
 bevid calls it almost To the letter : as I'm Lying furtherest out to the right , i am most Obviously getting all the pulls - so rodney is to try to the Right of Me , and this will hopefully cut off my supply of Pulls , and hoepfully onto the Blacktail . It Was a big bait .
Â
 All it did though i think , was work as chum for our baits ..
The comeraderie on that Point was Legendary .
 the comments being thrown about had us in stitches , and it Reminded Me of a time When Sealine Wasn't so full of poop , had so Much poop , gave us so Much poop , and the bashes Were nothing More than 5 days of honest , solid , fishing . As frikkie said: it Wasn't all just about the fishing , it was about Meeting people who'd Only chirped each Other while Mommy slept , or just before supper through until 8 pm . Some very funny moments , which , due to a parental advisory , will remain unprinted .
Â
But Fun is an understatement .
The ou's even managed to erect a line bin up at Leonards .Â
Like Dissss....
