Finished exams on Monday so we decided to fish meerhof on Tuesday to kick off the holiday feeling. Have not fished this venue a in along time since it is very full over the weekends.

Left early that morning and lines were in the water by 6:30.Immediately we had runs and bites. Fished around 80m. By 7:00 we had 3 fish and just after 7:00 my brother casted and 10 minutes he had a run. Fighting the fish slowly because he fished with 5lb line so taking his time. As we stood trying to land the bugger, half an hour into the fight my rod started screaming.Reeled in the fish with easy thinking of it to be about 2 kg then when it was landed he was bigger than expected 5.6kg so we kept him for a while and then went back to my brother and another half an hour later landed a 7.3kg beauty.

Caught fish throughout the day but all other fish weighing in at under a kilo and one of 2.2kg. Total fish for the day 22.
