For the third weekend in a row Nick and I headed down to Inanda Dam to do some fly fishing. This time however our plan was to focus on the filming of the trip rather than the fishing, in the hope of putting together a short video of Inanda Dam and the bass opportunities it …
For the second week in a row we headed down to Inanda Dam to target bass. Conditions were close to ideal thanks to the warm water, a decent cloud cover, and a slight breeze creating a gentle ripple on the surface. Nick was convinced that he’d been at a disadvantage on previous trips due to …
With Inanda fast becoming our most fished venue we decided to head down with a new objective in mind…to cover more water. We therefore left the float tubes at home and hitched up the boat, ready to explore the uncharted nooks and crannies of the dam (well, for us anyway). We launched the boat at …
After spending a weekend at The Hatchery we decided to stop off at the uShaka (Addington) Beach on the way home. It was Emma’s first real beach trip and she absolutely loved it. The only nervous person was Sharon due to the piles of bluebottles being washed up on the shore. Pictures are worth a …
Sharon and I woke up on Saturday morning, relaxed in bed with our daughter for a while, and then realised that simply wasn’t going to cut it. We needed some excitement… So we quickly packed our bags, jumped into the car, and headed for The Prawn Shak. On route we phoned The Hatchery to confirm …
Being such keen fly fisherman there is simply no other way to spend the first day of the new year than on the water. And with Nick up at Sterkfontein Dam dominating the yellows I decided that my best option would be to take the family down to one of the local bass dams for …
Doubles squash can have some interesting outcomes. On the up side the guy that did this to me limped off the court shortly afterwards.
Sharon and I finished work early on Tuesday (being Christmas eve) so we picked up my mom at 2pm and began the the journey to Injisuthi. It was a relatively painless drive with Emma sleeping for the majority of the way. The last few kilometers however, where the road degraded to a pothole ridden mess, …
Bass seem to be topping the todo list of late. I guess it’s because they’re close to home and great fun to fish for on the surface. So on Sunday we headed back down to Inanda Dam to have another go at the good old largemouth. I got down at 5:45 only to (once again) …
Emma and I are now officially ready to dominate the Drakensberg!
