AQUA PARADISO – More than we bargained for
As most people know, Aqua is not the easiest venue to fish… From crazy depths to daphnia blooms that are so big they show up on the fish finders. To make it harder there is gin clear water which allows the weed to grow almost all the way to the surface in water 2m+ andContinue reading “AQUA PARADISO – More than we bargained for”
SNZ at The Lake
Shane and myself decided to do a pre-comp overnighter at the lake… Well… What a session we had. Armed with our trusty baits from SNZ, Agie and Nutrabaits as well as our Spombs we set out early on Saturday morning hoping to bag few fatties. First bite came early in the morning for me inContinue reading “SNZ at The Lake”

Over the weekend we took some friends to Corriloch Koi farm and wedding venue to show them what specimen fishing is all about. Anyone that has been to Corri will know that it is a super carpy looking little venue with fish ranging from around 2.5kg – lake record which is a 14kg as wellContinue reading “From Papgooi to Specimen…”

Braai vs Ridgemonkey
For as long as I can remember, fishing has always gone together with a braai and a big fire. A braai however is also a lot of effort and comes with having to pack wood, charcoal, firelighters and braai tongs (which I usually forget) and you need a braai… then comes all the food… meat,Continue reading “Braai vs Ridgemonkey”
Cold fronts and PBs
The moment the fishing lockdown ended Tarryn and myself decided to book a weekend at Bergsig as she has never fished it herself – not knowing she will break another PB. Our feed of choice was the Super-R mix from WSC Particles paired with crushed AGIE Venom and Tigernut & Hemp boilies. Hookbait of choiceContinue reading “Cold fronts and PBs”
