I have a Mariner 4 which I use when competing with my daughter.  I dont suppose a kick boat would be suitable?

Hey Guys
I spent a day on the vaal about a month ago... You guys helped me with some local info and I promised a report, I feel terrible cause I never came back with one and I do apologise... I know its late now but for what its worth we caught nothing, zilch, nada.. The wind started howling quite early and we gave up in the early hours of the afternoon.

The scallies on the KZN side though have been making some appearances and we have been targeting them the last two weeks and I must say its good to have a yellow on the end of the line after a season of trout fishing.

I know this thread is for the vaal river but ill post some pics of the scallies we found in the mooi the last two weeks just for interest sake and I hope to hear from you guys on whats happening on the Vaal

This is the stretch of the mooi river between Mooi River and Greytown if you planning a trip down here make a pit stop in nottingham road at the WildFly fishing shop and talk to Juan. If there's one guy that can put you into some fish it would be him, you can also organize a guided day with Juan and there are some good rivers in the area you can fish for some scallies.

Debbie, the Mariner would be fine at GVP and most other winter venues.
 
However the first venue I intend taking you to is very easy wading, no need for a boat. With the temps warming up quickly middle Sept looks good for me for the specific venue I have in mind. w;k
 
O will be in touch after you have moved. :-)

If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".

Depending on the weather, and the "Rock Snot" I may just turn the trip into the first Ultimate Vaal trip of the season. :clwn :frid

Yup, that's what I used the last time with Rory, Herman and Nico.

Need a vest, and more importantly, flies and wading boots.
