Hi Guys, great site! Nice to be able to chat to fellow anglers.

I live in Cape Town and take every opportunity possible to go fishing, whichever way possible, from the shore, my ski, boat etc etc.....

I work up in Angola so i get to do some awesome fishing up there!

I have been catching some nice kob in Melkbos over the last couple of weeks!

Have a good new years!

Can any of you give me any tips on fishing in Hermanus, in the estury, going up there for a couple of days and want to go out on my ski there

Hi there.

I see you didnt get much reply. Try posting your topic in the general saltwater space. More people watching there.

I want to head out that way the weekend, but Im very unfamilliar with that area. How were your catches. Any tips on where to fish?

Now this is a first for me I think..... Altzheimers....eish!

WELCOMING Two new Family Members! Dunno how to quite do this one.....

:welcomesea: Pierre and :welcomesea:Dorado75, Hope you's will find exactly what you've been missing like the rest of us.  Just make sure that you's spend some time with the better halves and the kids and if you don't have a credit card to go buy tackle on advice, GET ONE no GET TWO.....:hyst:

Seroiusly Now, Great to have both of you's, hoping to learn from you and to help if I can.

Thanks for the great welcoming and happy new year to all of you!
Had a great festive season and managed to get a bit of fishing done off my ski, landing some nice Kob in Melkbos. Unfortunatly i have now had to return to work, but i am lucky in a way that i work about 180km off the coast of Angola and there is an unbelievable amount of fish out here, and some monstors!
Anyway, i hope that everyone has a great 2008

Pierre...... i would be happy to show you the spots in Melkbos when i am around, the fish is very on/ off, about 3 weeks ago i spent a couple of hours fishing and landed 17 Kob, only 6 were size though and the rest were just under, but i had a great time....... i went to the same spot last week in my little dingy and the conditions were excelent and all we caught was harders...... i will have to wait a few weeks before i give it another bash, for now i will have to put up with plenty of Tuna and Dorados!

Thanks Shark Bait

Other than the work and having to live in a French enviroment it is quite cool. I am on a oil installation and skipper a small workboat, and this place is full up with fish. Landed a couple of Wahoo in the 15 to 20kg class the last couple of days, plenty of Dorado in 10 to 30kg class and loads of tuna, a few other odds and ends too. Got hit by a big Marlin yesterday while trolling, he dropped the hook after about running off 20m of line, i did not have a chance anyway as all i can use here is a handline, would have been fun to play with it for a short while though.

Otherwise, looking forward to getting home in a few weeks to catch some local fish!
