Who's Jan .. ??? u confused boet ... :hyst:
Maybe we should make this a semi social/ fishing day , those with boats can bring them and spend the day on the water , not sure how much bank angling can be done + boat space is the limiting factor... put some gazebos up at the launch site or close by for shade /braai-ing etc ... :dunno: who would be interested in doing this ....??
I'm in just need one of you okes to teach me some fresh water fishing..... will bring the boat to
Right , so who all is coming .. ??I'm in got place for two on the boat
yup...
Dodge, are you bringing the boat with ?
:shk .... that sounds pretty painful , and a long recovery time.
recovery is they reckon 6 weeks but I'm not holding my breath on that, it'l be a while until I go afloat as I want it completely healed before we go crashing around on the water. It's been on the cards to have it done for years but I keep putting it off. Next year I'll have the other one done.
Is this a day trip you guys planning or weekend?Boet it you know about fresh water fishing you have a spot with me cause I got not clue about the fresh water stuff.
Would be keen to join if its a day trip......... anyone got space for litle ol' me :blush: pwetty pwease
Oh eish just remembered I need to keep that day opened, its mates birthday and his sons birthday party........ the wife nearly castrated me on the spot.
Enjoy guys!

Mike, Deone and I discussed last night we are going to slide chickens for barbel and crocodiles.:hyst: :hyst:
PS: Don't bring ski's - there are crocodiles.
Still all systems go for Sat for me ... other Mike .. ??Aye Captain......still in
Dodger your Blitzy going to be done :dunno:
Hey Roger , thats quite a list of things to do , dont rush and then regret it , no problem if you cant make it on Saturday , , theres still plenty weekends in the year to do more get togethers at the local dams :-)
to both of you and then can follow Clive . :dunno:The Oom is so amped on fishing and his boat if I look again I might be in Ponta drinking the home made rum and dancing with the local girls :creep: :creep: :creep: :hehe: :hehe:
Mike , depending where you located in PTA , you would have to get on to the R511, basically going to Hartebeespoort dam and then proceeding onto Britz , my directions off Google maps is from my side of the boerewors curtain :hyst: , unless you try and meet up with Clive on the road somewhere central to both of you and then can follow Clive . :dunno:
We need worms , earthworms , who can source some , i have none in my yard unless i dig up SWAMBO'S flower beds , guess i wont be popular after that one , so if u can get worms bring them with . :-)
Kurper are mainly targeted in the warmer months and is going to be tough to catch this time of the year, I suggest you make a feeding spot first thing in the morning and then go look for bass, when it heats up a little later try and target kurper on the feeding spot.
Good luck and enjoy... (OBS will come in handy early morning)
See if you can get some Maroek, to make a feeding spot, Kurper go moggy for this in the summer monthsHuh.. ?? whats Maroek .. ?? ek sien net Ma Roek .. :cnfzd .. :hyst: :hyst: .

Was very fun, except when my blackberry turned into a waterberry, still working so no worries. Higlight of the day must have been all the three boats riding in formation. Glad to be back on the ultimate side of life. Thanks guys for the awesome day.
