Thanks WK. Unfortunately this was it for the day (except for the sunburn, forgot my sunblock

). Next weekend should be a points machine, watch this space.

The weather is getting lekker now, i think in 2-3 weeks time it will be all systems go for some good bass fishing. I've been fishing solo lately, my wife is busy working on her M.
Next time I'll give you a shout then you can maybe join me.

Just a Question on the pictures as I like to land unhook and release without taking fish out of water would it be all right to post photos of fish in landing net? I do have a scale on net that is not as accurate as it should be but, it would give an estimate weight.

Wynand13 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2011, 10:14:19 AM »

And only fish caugt from September 2011 will count?
