Holidaymakers ,you gotta love them

[Splasher]

Let give one back.
I know sweet nothing about fresh water fishing, so the wife and I decide to catch carp. We set up next some chaps who are nailing the carp. I just cant get a bite with my mielie pips.

A little snot nose kid walks up to me eating jelly tots. He says to me "Ek gaan oom wys hoe om a vis te vang"
I`m busy reeling up and he puts on a red jelly tot on to the hook.
I look at him with WTF!

Cast in to humour him and behold..."On Dad"

Manna to you kid!

I must have looked like one ,mon evening,after work the wind died down so i rush home grab both reels fit them to the rods,throw in back of bakkie and off to beach,I march onto the beach lekker windgat in front of the Vaalie and Vrystaat chicks,and proceed to tackle up,I look, I think I have gone mad ,both reels on backwards,luckily noone was close enough to see

Use to run Commercial out of Shelly some years back, as we hit the beach all the holiday maker gather around to see what the catch was like,Some old lady "boetie kan ek n vis by jou koop? vir so R20" I get a nice stumpnose and off she goes.Not long she's back "boetie die oom wil weet" ..wait for it..."is die vis vars"my gillie pipes up "tannie, die vis is so vars as jy hom mond tot mond gee, sal hy weer kan swem

Makes me think of the oke selling Naartjies: Is daai naartjies soet? Ja meneer stroop soet.... kyk hoe stil lê hulle

We were fishing Orange Rocks early one morning when a whole group of Indians decended on us. The one says to me " hey Larnie , any luck"? I said yes lots. \he looked around for my catch for about 30 seconds before I said "All bad though". He was not amused.

One morning i was fishing silversands at betty's bay, and this nice farmer type looking guy comes up to me and makes some chit chat about fishing, i had three hotties in my bag already and reeled in a 4th while he was there and i gave him two, cos he was so excited, he told me to hang on for a bit he's coming back with his family, about 30mins he rocks up with, wife, two kids and a dog in tow, and introduces me like i am his old friend for years and years, they setup on the beach right where i'm sitting, about an hour later i pack up, and walk home, he insists on giving me a lift, all off 300m down the road, i accept, later that evening there is a knock on the door, and it is him again, with almost 2kg of biltong for me, and he thanks me for a wonderful and the two fishies. And i never even knew his name.

Did the same for a Valie at Blakes just before Christmas, coming back from Poortjie I walked down the beach to hear if the guys are catching.There was this father and son with all the equipment but not catching,the whole family was there so I gave them one of my cobbies.They thanked me and asked my phone number after which I left and forgot about it...guess who sms me on new years, wishing me the best for 2011 and thanking me once again for adding to their Christmas lunch..Yep the Valies....which reminded me, not to long ago I was also a Valie, and remember seeing a guy catching a fish I would walk up to him saying:"jislaaik, nice one , what fish is it?" as if the answer to the question would change my life as I know it.In away it does change your life, cause when your back in GP land, you think of that guy and that fish and that night and it takes you back to a place where you wish you could be forever.

So yes we are fortunate down at the coast and I count my blessings daily.

(and Joburg will never see me again)

I once took a group of vrystaters out to sea in pe to catch geelbek and yellowtail, they never caught a fish in their live let alone to sea. They caught a big red steenbras and scotsman, fish i've never caught and i got nothing. A good mate from jhb also came down and we overnight at the goodsheds at sea in pe, he got a cob of 29kg, also his first and again i got nothing.

These holiday makers ,you can only laugh,but you gotta love em. Working in the shop you hear some wierd things,"Oom can you fish in the channel between the houses"Duh its not a channel its a river thats 30kms long,I wont mention what nationality but one fella asks can he use bread for bait in the river an all,yes you can but are you gonna catch anything ?.
Fishing on the beach Mon evening I slide out a nice fillet mullet and mackie combo and land a nice gulley shark 8or 10kg,out the corner of my eye i see these five okes watching me,they got all the gear ,Daiwa grandwaves,14ft shiny new rods,any way I see them cast out a sinker ,they want to now slide,I see them clip on a slide but it looks like a normal steel trace clip,after much shaking of the rod this bait goes as far as the breakers and no further,I think they were to proud to come ask me how I was doing it,after much glancing my way and head scratching they resorted to casting

Only in south Africa! LOL

Ek kon nie gisteraand my lag hou nie ek was besag om n baie mooi chocca asie aandie hoek te sit met oe en als toe n gesin daar by my aasboks kom staan en kyk wat ek doen. " nou wat is dit oom vrae die klong soos ek nou maar is se ek vir hom dit is chocca en ek gebruik dit vir aas met die se die ma kyk net die man het die grote oop gesny en die kleintjie aan die hoek gesit hoe kan jy dit doen hy het dan nou nog gelewe."

Ek kon maarnet  my stok vat en gan gooi.

i was a holiday maker in stilbaai December and caught a lot of fish, and laugh at the locals who caught notning!!!!!!! eat sh!t!!

 

[Henning Venter]

oh and as a holidaymaker in stilbaai i realize how "petty" the nature conservation okes are......!!!! there are tons of crayfish and perlemoen been strip from the ocean bed and tons of undersize fish caught, but these "........" (don't think i can say that on the forum) nature freaks rather put there time to use to harrash a 8 year old kid who caught nothing in the river who dont have a licence!!!

 

 

[Henning Venter]

same nature freaks to lazy to walk to the fishing spots, they rather sit in the parking lot and ask for your licence there. i refused ofcourse because you dont need a licence to walk around with a rod and reel!!!

the same freaks harrased a oke who hurt his back with a license who ask lytie to pump prawns for him. he was there assisting..... no that is for the freaks a problem!!!

i prefer a spietkop above these nature freaks!!!! they are a waste of taxpayers money!!!

Ek het myself gekraak gestraand toe daar n laaitie kom en hy vra vir een van die ander manne "Het daar al elwe uitgekom" toe se die ou "Nee net tiene en twaalwe", ek het gele soos ek lag maar die laaitie was nie baie beindruk nie.

 

[Tailwalker1]

Nice Henning jy moes vir hulle gas gegee het oor die kind en die toppie wie se rug seur was en dan somer vir hulle gese wat doen die manne onder hulle neuse,

Ek het so geval gehad so tytjie terug met twee ouens wat street sakke vol ondermaat kabeljoue gevang het met n klein booitjie, ek het vir MCM gebel en toe gebeur daar niks nie niemand het uitgekom *&^%ol, dit maak my so kwaad

 

[Rossouw]

As MCM se manne in die Srand was gister aand dan het hulle sakke vol geld gemaak maar soos gewoonlik was hulle nie daar nie en die mense kon doen wat hulle wil.

Help my gou reg hier maar n kind van 8 het nognie n lisensie nodag om mee te hengel nie. As ek dit reg het ryk hulle eers n liksensie uit van die ouderdom 12 af.

Spekkies dit geld net vir "West Coast Rocklobster". Geen persoon onder die ouderdom van 12 sal n permit kry nie. Dit is n donker area, maar vir "recreational fishing" moet hulle een kry.

 

[Rossouw]

Dankie vir daardie een dan sal ek gou moet plan maak want nie een van my kinders het een nie en ek wil hulle saam vat vannaand om te gan hengel.
