Will & Dre

As social anglers we are groomed from a very young age to target only the biggest fish where possible, forgetting the entertainment value that comes with targeting smaller fish.

Two weeks ago we visited a lodge near Roodeplaat dam, this was not a fishing trip but we decided to pack our gear, just in case… The lodge had a small pond and to the amusement of the other guests we decided to test our fishing skills, or lack thereof (after three or four beers) at the local water hole. We broke some records…

When you find the time to fish on a “strictly-no-fishing” holiday, you might consider the possibility that you are now one of an elite group of people who are truly and utterly addicted to a sport that through no fault of your own can consume much of your time! Wives, girlfriends, family members and pets had to take a backseat as we had to feed this addiction with the hours, minutes and seconds it required from us! Although we were on two separate vacations, Willem and myself managed to catch various species ranging from rock cod, to barracuda to bream. We attached a few photos below for your enjoyment!
