Manne ons is vuil, veilig terug by die huis. Die amptelike report sal later die week gelaai word. Hier is solank iets om na te kyk....
Well done!!
I just hope that report later during the week as an English version for us "dumb foreigners" that don't know Afrikaans
P.S. - Glad to hear everyone arrived safely home.
Hi Guys and Girls
As indicated by Hannes, some of have returned from Angola after one hectic extreme fishing experience. Simen asked me to submit an official report on Sealine, while I expect all the others will in any event submit their own experiences on the forum. I understand that Simen will create a new thread for all the report-backs and photo's, so please be patient. Some of us are married and needed to give our undevided attention to our spouses/families since our return last night (21:00, Saturday, 24 July 2010) and this is the first opportunity I've had to get onto the internet. (Tannie Kaspaas is taking her Sunday afternoon nap.. he he) .... Not like Hannes who doesn't have any current commitments.... he he.
As far as I know Simen and Spyker and Co are only returning from Angola today or Monday, as they only arrived there a week after the rest of us. So we will have to wait a while for Mev Spyker to return and place all her photo's taken during the expedition. In the meantime I can report that the largest edible fish taken during our stay was a 16,7 kg Cob (caught by yours truly) while Hannes' flattie was the largest non-edible fish caught. Several other Cobs of between 8 to 10 kg's were taken (Simen apparently got one of 14kg) while the largest Leerie was in the vicinity of 12kg's. A number of young Bronzies were also caught but we mostly targeted Shad, Leeries and Cob with spinners, plugs and poppers. My own Cobs of 16,7 and 8,5 kg's were, however, caught on chokka, the most beautiful white fresh local chokka I have seen!!
Anyway, I still have to compile my report. Only started unpacking my dirty laundry to be washed and dumped my wetsuit in a bath of fresh water to soak out two weeks' fish and grime. Haven't even had an opportunity to unpack my tackle or download my photo's.... and (sigh) read through all my work related e-mails....
So please watch this space.
Hope to see the Cape Town guys at Tuesday's SSEC:WC AGM meeting.
