Hi all!

 

Maybe it time for something controversial to happen again....like a new SA record or so?

I am dedicated to sealine and will be putting up some new very informative posts soon!

 

Regards

There have been some very large smallmouth bass caught recently, one at Clanwilliam and another at Kwaggaskloof, they are not much discussed here though.

I speak from personal experience when I say that certain moderators who are rude to members and don't give them the chance to respond (by locking a post and later removing it) keep many experienced bass anglers from contributing to Sealine, myself included. I for one prefer to make contributions where they are appreciated and where the admins don't submit members to rude and unjustified verbal abuse.

Let's see how long this one stays here.

Ja...good plan!

SOME BIG CATCHES THERE IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO!

Except for mine there was also 1 bass of over 5kgs and one of 4,5kgs, Carp of 14 Kgs and Blue Kurpers of over 2kgs.

Then there is also the swimbait that was chomped in half by a Tigerfish!

You wanna join me for a trip there?

Ek sal maar die minste wees en die nuwe Sa record vang?

Dink maar net die ouens moet meet topic post wat informasie oor dra. Daar is soveel tegnieke en beginners het nie 'n clue nie. Die site het my al baie geleer.

Forums are like the tides which ebb and flow. Bottom line is you have "givers", you have "takers" and you have "freeloaders". Has been, will be so get used to it.

The best thing about this sport/hobby/passion of ours is that you never stop learning, and more importantly, you never know too much.

For those brag gatte and boytjies with huge ego's remember one thing:

You don't know, what you don't know.

Peace!!

I think a lot of the regulars come and go as rightly pointed out. The other thing is, the regulars are also tired of:

1. answering the same questions over and again
2. not being thanked for their advice
3. Giving advice, and then the "asker" buggers off never to be seen again

I am very grateful for this site, it has certainly made me a better fisherman.

Hiya Monster!

Well you are not wrong! I once caught a bass on a silver shortshank hook while fishing for kurpers....I cast my line out with no baited hook before I started fishing to get a loop of the spool that made me feel "uneasy"....next thing WHAM! a bass of about 500 grammes nailed the clean hook!!!!!!

Just to get back to the "black bass" topic...I agree that braailegends fish is a genetic disorder or something,but in my experience the skin cells in fish darken when exposed to bright light....thus they can catch a TAN!

Look at Yellows caught in Sterkfontein vs Yellows caught in dams...
