Cape Vidal Trip Report, November 2014

Cape Vidal Trip Report, November 2014

With the windy months having passed us by, and the water warming through the spring months, it was time for another trip to Cape Vidal. Sadly however we battled with booking and managed to secure just a single campsite, meaning that just 6 fishermen could join us on this adventure. I picked up Graeme at 4:30am …

UHTFC AGM And Fishing Festival 2014

A few months ago I received a phone call from Alan asking me to be the guest speaker at the UHTFC AGM. I happily accepted, feeling honoured that I’d been asked, and began planning my speech. The months flew by and before I knew it I was packing my bags (and laptop) for the trip …

Underberg Fly Fishing, September 2014

Having been far too long since I’d visited the trout bliss of Underberg I decided to put a quick trip together to right the wrongs. Sadly my trusty sidekick (Nick) was unable to join the adventure, so I headed up alone at lunch time on Friday. The plan was to meet up with Neill, Alan …

Easter At Mkhuze

With four days to play with Sharon and I opted to take Emma to Mkhuze Game Reserve for her first ever Easter. We of course invited granny who loves the bush, and amazingly my sister flew out from the UK to join the adventure. So a family Easter in Mkhuze it was. Not knowing how …

A Family Weekend At Umlalazi

A Family Weekend At Umlalazi

Since we were unable to make it to Cape Town, my dad and Cassia decided to head up to Durban and pay us a visit (ok, it was probably to pay Emma a visit). So rather than sitting bored around the house we opted to take the Friday off and headed to Umlalazi for a …

Sterkfontein Gold Baby!

Sterkfontein Gold Baby!

After Nick’s successful new year’s Sterkfontein trip it was quickly decided that the Baha Boys needed to get up to Africa’s premier sight fishing venue before the season ended. So after a quick look at our calendars we booked a long weekend in March and did the necessary planning – calculating how much booze to …
