My wife uses the Jeep on weekends

I can take plus one in a corsa bakkie, petrol not an issue

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

Yes, I should be able to do the Sunday. If you guys make a weekend of it I will come through on the Sunday.

LOL - I meant can't you go to the Iron and ink on Sunday :dunno:

Guys, the venue Oord Nebo is really nice, but its past Potch!! Me, I'm not keen on driving all that way for a day/morning session.  :vio Theres lots of wading friendly venues closer by. It only make sense to get lifts from each other, and then we'll meet up at the Engen one stop before Grasmere and drive in convoy from there.

Hehe, unfortuantely it has the baby seat and the smash and grab tint, and she loves the fact that the glass door at the back opens seperatley on the keys because it is convenient to pack her groceries  ......   :nuts:

What can a man does..... :dunno:

Are we going to do something just below barrage?

I think below the barrage is better, much closer than Potch!! Sundays are usually a bit quieter but you never can tell. I think most of the guys here would prefer Saturday?

Hee hee hee, no man this is the Vaal river, the fish are a rod length away from you! No long line casting required!

My bad . .  .  No, I'm going with  my artist and she's only going on the Saturday.  :sadd

Bring her fishing in the morning and then go through in the afternoon!! :hyst:

Approx 100 kms. About an hours drive, most of the drive is on the freeway. Have you got a flyrod?

Fishing alone is like drinking alone - not recommended!

I enjoy fishing alone...  :hnthnt:

As for drinking alone... Would not know as I dont drink...  w;k

But you are right, more enjoyable
