...interception of a secret radio transmission...
Comrad xerxers, operation Bronzie Strike is under a threat. The capitalist secret agents working undercover as fishermen understood our plans. The radio controlled shark with a 14ft antenna disguised as a fishing rod, will not be headed to Cape Town next week. Further instruction will be communicated to your at a later stage...over

Dit the rod and reel at least left some tracks or did it fly out of the rodholder?

How come your name is Andre and you can not speak Afrikaans.

Shark man: the rod holder was almost out of the sand at a 35 degree angle, and the rod flew a bit, but due to the low tide a distinct track on the sand was visible and judging by its' northwards direction, the fish went to Angola.
Andre is quite a common name across the world!
There are thousands of them in France, and they don't speak afrikaans (what a rhyme =)
I cannot speak afrikaans because the spy school i went to didn't prepare me for African missions. I'm more America/England oriented, if you see what i mean. On one of the missions that went wrong i was left behind, so here i am. Just fishing in Namibia, staying low.
But back to the fishing subject. Do you think the graphite rod will float for a while, or will it just sink if not washed on shore after ??? days, weeks, years? I mean the graphite is surely not going to be dissolved in sea water, in the nearest foreseeable future and unless broken by being smashed into the stones, it can last a lifetime, or more.

Howdy guys!
Greetings from sunny Namibia.
By posting this message i would like to achieve 2 things. Firstly, to let the others learn from my mistakes, and secondly to see if anyone has ever had his road and reel dragged to the sea for good?
So my recipe to loosing a 14ft brand new Blue Marlin rod and equally new Daiwa Firewolf 50 (yes, i know it is a kak reel, but it still cost me money), plus 300 meters of strong line :'-( is as follows:
1) Go to Namibian coast for fishing;
2) In the morning catch some fresh bait;
3) Bait the hooks for shark and cast them;
4) Sit and wait the whole day until the evening, without any action;
5) Leave the rod in a holder with tightened drag;
6) Go and cook braai 10 meters away from the rod, hoping to hear the reel scream;
7) Return half an hour later and find the rod missing;
8) Search the ocean in vain and in total darkness;
9) Fail miserably and go to sleep feeling like a fool.
10)Next day listen to your mates telling you that your new rod will make a splendid toothpick for the shark.
Ta-da!
So if anyone finds a Blue Marlin rod floating along the Namibian coast (although it might be in Angola by now) let me know.

Happy fishing!

I was fly fishing one day in Durban Harbour about 10 years ago, and got a hook up. It was strange like nothing I hade ever caught before. After about 20minutes of fighting I found that I had hooke me a rod and reel. Then that rod sarted to bend, and I loosened the drag on a perfect Diawa BG and fould the fish on a lovely 10ft Purglass rod to land my self a grunter of about 10Kg.

@ Andre, what type of fish do you get in Russia? (or is that information restricted.) Hie-hie!

Carp, perch, bream, zander, barbel, beluga sturgeon (this one can get very big, like over 150 kg. big with yammie caviar, if it's a female) and lots of other species =) I think wikipedia will be helpful.
Trout and salmon are in the north, but the biggest fish there is taimen (up to 50 kg.), and a great fighter too.

The rod should float if it is not full of holes.

Seriously I have seen rods floating after a shark pulled it in. It stand upright because of the reel. But the qeustion is how far can you see, seems like you hooked a bus.

Do you perhaps have a sister in russia? A blond one. I will teach her Afrikaans.
