After a poor showing on the rivers for most of the season we decided that a trip to the Bushman’s was in order. A Monday public holiday gave us the perfect opportunity so we booked the water and were on the road at 5am, heading for the Giant’s Castle area. Our usual coffee stop was …
After a few weeks of bass bashing it was time to get ready for the upcoming trip to Cape Vidal. I therefore opted to join the south coast boys at one of their local beaches for a little fly fishing action in the surf. We arranged to meet at 6am which meant an early start …
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 …
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) …
It’s that time of year again when the fishing options are endless. The harbour is starting to perform with the summer game-fish arriving. The rivers have finally been opened and have received some rain. It hasn’t yet got too hot so the dams are still producing some nice trout. The yellows have moved up into …
A year has passed since our last Heritage Day but the memories of a day spent fly fishing under snow capped mountains (and the adventure that followed) is still fresh in my mind. It therefore seemed only fitting to spend this Heritage Day in search of yet another adventure and fishing for a purely indigenous …
With the (trout) streams having been closed for almost two months now I was starting to get some serious withdrawal symptoms. I needed to get into a river, and I needed to do it now. So I picked up the phone, gave Nick a call, and we put together a trip to Nyala Pans to …
Being Sharon and Tarryn’s first ever Mother’s Day, Nick and I decided to take them (as well as our mothers) to Tala Game Reserve for a buffet breakfast and a day in the bush. With no set time to arrive Sharon, my mom and I left the house at 7am and, after a brief coffee …
Thanks to a 60th birthday in Zimbabwe my uncle once again took to the skies and visited Sharon and I in Durban from the land down under. Unfortunately Sharon was unable to get leave on Friday so the day so it we couldn’t go away for the weekend. I climbed out of bed at the …
Sunday was a fishing day and Baha Fly Fishing and the DFT organised a day morning’s outing to the Durban Harbour. There was an incredible turnout of aronud 20 fly fisherman and it was amazing to see the banks crowded with fly fisherman. Sadly the fishing wasn’t great, perhaps due to the dolphins playing directly …
