I've been a bit of a no show in the comp lately. Going bass fishing again this weekend, hopefully I can add to my tally. Just hope the

gives me a gap.

WalkersKiller,

I sincerely apologise for my outburst and tantrums on this thread.

I was trying to show, via the competition that f/f can be as , if not more productive in terms of fish caught per session than the other classes.

I am by no means a f/f "snob" and have been seen by many to throw a bait line. As you well know the thrill of catching a fish on a flyrod, with a self tied fly is the business.

Good luck with the competition,and I hope thecatch reports keep coming in.

Keep an eye on the flyfishing thread, I'm hitting J Bay this weekend.

Fly rod and drop shot rig will be packed.

for your J Bay trip.

Hi guys... long time, no post... Beem busy at work!

This past weekend we had our clubcomp at Jackie Leonard at the Vaaldam. The guys caught a lot of muddies (up to 14 in addition to other species). I myself wasn't in the mood to do tempo angling and decided to rather target bigger fish(carp). In total during the comp I caught 5 fish. 1 x grasscarp, 2 x carp and 2 X muddies. At the weigh-in I realised I was way behind the rest as the guys nailed the smaller fish.

After the comp a few of us decided to stay over for the night until the sunday. As I arrived back to rods, I realised there was a fish on both. Reeled in two nice carp, one of which weighed 3.5kg, and rebaited. We had a great night at the water and I slept like a baby in my tent as n light rain descended at around 01:00am.

In total I caught the following fish:
1 x grasscarp 1.75kg
8 x carp ranging from 1.5kg to 3.5kg
2 x muddies weighing approx. 0.370kg each

All in all a good finish to the year's club angling. Now its just social angling. Unfortunately I didn;t take any pics, but I had my peg mate with me as usual.

That would be absolutely AWESOME.

Neither my f/f skills or kit could ever give credit to a Marlin on fly. never mind conventional tackle.

I hope you can pull it off. I'm sure it could be a world first.
