Author Topic: Mapelane - 12th-19th March (Read 30754 times)

A few of us are doing a serious fishing trip to Mapelane in March (12-19). Spring tides and the moon waxing...

A few days of North East wind and we should be good to go!

If anyone else wants to join us, feel free to pull in. Unfortunately, we got the last Log cabin - the rest are fully booked, so if you do want to come, you will need to arrange your own Accomodation at the Camp sites. Biggest problem with camping at Mapelane is that there is no electricity, but freezers are "available for hire", which need to be pre-booked with the Camp.

Would love to but, we are still teaching on those dates, and we are booked for April!
So will be needing a decent report on the fishing and the roads, if you would be so kind

No thought for us poor buggers who have to teach the masses and educate the nation.

Will definitely wait for the report.

Rods you can almost wet a line by casting from your own yard, I have the added bane of living in Gauteng!

My wife & I are in!! Also maybe not for the whole period. We camped there before.
Kayak launching did not seem to be too difficult

We did not have kayaks at the time

Some of the log cabins are old, but they started renovating about a year ago. We are lucky enough to have booked one of the "refurbished" log cabins...

At this stage, don't really care, as long as I have a roof over my head and a hot shower...

icstuff · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2011, 08:59:26 AM »

you are right on that one, hope you chaps enjoy that trip

Reefs;

you need to make the voerplek good.

i'll be on the other side, of the umfolozi river from the 18th to 21st.

heard on sunday, that the river has been in flood for the past 3 weeks.
but when the north east blows, the water clears up at the mouth.
shad still there, quite big.
