A day to remember

The eagle has landed

A couple of years ago ESA had some sort of presenter search or something. The west coast leg of this thing was held at Die Lapa Dwarskersbos, and I decided that I should go and throw myself into the mix as well, you never know what can happen. When I arrived the morning there was … Continue reading The eagle has landed

Melkbos Ballerina

The last time I was in Melkbos I was on a date with a ballerina. She was blond and tight and super lekker and I almost spend half my salary to convince her that I was her soulmate. As it turned out I was her sole mate, because she walked right over me. Being a … Continue reading Melkbos Ballerina

Spotted Steamer

We were talking nonsense while sipping a lemonade or two and munching some very nice Springbok droëwors. Amongst the regular banter was how nice it was that we can at least blank on a new beach.

(Did you catch nothing again )!" I had the worst blanking streak in a very long time, eight straight … Continue reading Good fishing and Great company

a bro code to fish by

What is ethics? The short Wiki answer is "moral principles that govern a person's behavior". Fishing ethics is basically a standard set of rules or do's and dont's that most of us already live by. We all benefit from the privilege of being able to fish and we should't take it for granted. It basically boils … Continue reading a bro code to fish by

Online Tackle Shopping – Part1

Advantages of online tackle shopping Must say I feel a bit like I’m sitting in group therapy and I’m about to make a confession.

But I absolutely love a bit … Continue reading Online Tackle Shopping – Part1
