I picked up Bruce and Nick at 5:30am and we began the long journey to Reekie Lyn, a 5km section of the Mooi River just below Kamberg, which we would be fishing for the day. Sadly things got off to a bad start when the rain started bucketing down before we’d even reached Cato Ridge. …
I was up at 4:30 on Saturday morning, packed the car, and then picked up Nick and Bruce on the way to Mavela. We stopped off for the mandatory cup of coffee, which I ended up only drinking half of, in fear of needing to wear a nappy under my waders. By 7am we were …
The next morning Nick picked me up at 5am, with the jet-ski, and we headed down to Blue Lagoon to try and bash a few Garrick. We dropped the ski on the beach, parked the car, and were ready to go. Thankfully we’d been given a 4-stroke ski and were looking forward to some smoke …
The plan for Sunday had been a fishing trip for Nick’s birthday, but WeatherSA (those bastards) had predicted cold fronts and Armageddon so we’d called it off. Then an amazing thing happened, we woke up to the most beautiful day. WOW! They’d gotten it wrong…when has that ever happened before (where’s the sarcasm font?). Anyway, …
Sunday was yet again spent showing Nick how to catch fish in the ‘berg; Nick had joined the NFFC during the week and was eager to test out some of his new waters. We opted to fish a venue in the Kamberg area called Uitzicht. This venue offered 2 dams – a larger one which …
Saturday was a rather exciting day for me as I stepped onto a squash court for the first time in over 6 months. I was a little worried about my Achilles even though I’d experienced no pain over the past few months. Thankfully I quickly forgot about it (well mostly) as I played Sharon for …
After a very relaxing 2 week cruise my old man was kind enough to stop off in Durban and spend the Easter weekend with us. Thursday night was very relaxed. My dad had arrived in the morning, and spent the day at my house washing his 2 shirts which he had worn for the last …
At 4am on Sunday I was up and ready for the epic Baha Boys deep sea fishing trip. Nick and I hooked up the Jet Ski and headed for Umdloti, stopped at a garage of course for a quick coffee and kak (you can’t go at sea). At 5:30am we pushed the ski into the …
On Sunday I got up at the usual 5am, packed my fishing kit, and met Shaun in the parking lot. We headed for Colmonell, stopping for the mandatory cup of coffee. By 7am we were on the water, and at around 8am I pulled out one of my better Rainbows; a hen fish weighing in …
I was up at 5am on Saturday and on my way to Mavela. This of course involved a stop off for some coffee on the way, but by 7am I was opening the gate (yes, I remembered the key this time). The journey had been an interesting one since I’ve clearly become a bit too …
