A few weeks ago we decided to plan a session with family to try and fish one of our favorite venues, Corriloch wedding venue and koi farm.This boutique venue has really become a special place in our hearts. We arrived late on Friday evening and set up as quickly as possible. We dropped our linesContinue reading “Weekend capers”

Teaching the young.
Sometimes you are given experiences that are there to humble you and sometimes to toughen you. The last few sessions have been a little of both. Between blanking and battling and suddenly catching something beautiful. Knowing and meeting amazing people to been attacked by others. The sport we love has its ups and downs, butContinue reading “Teaching the young.”
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”
Fighting the forces
This past weekend R was lucky enough to get a spot in a competition at Florida Lake. Many hours of planning and thought went into his strategy. I couldn’t be happier for him and offered my cooking skills to help and assist with the actual preparation. At the last minute a change had to beContinue reading “Fighting the forces”
SNZ at The Lake

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”

Just some photos from our recent trips to the bank.

Each and every time we go out on the bank we prepare ourselves to the max and try cover every angle from what spots to what bait and what rig. Once it is in the water there is an element of fate that we have no control over. There is always the possibility that weContinue reading “The Big Blank”
A comedy of errors
Trying new things, for me, is a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I was filled to the brim with both when R and I joined a new club. We would have to try some new techniques and strategies. Each and every one were completely foreign to me while he had a far better knowledge thanContinue reading “A comedy of errors”
New Challenges
Over the last year or so I have become so used to using an inflatable that casting has taken a backseat. It is so easy to hop in the duck, chuck a couple of scoops out over each rod and take your boat ride back to the bank. After quite a bit of uhming andContinue reading “New Challenges”
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”
