Umhlanga . 14 - 21 Dec 2012.
« on: May 20, 2012, 07:49:50 PM »
Hi all you Saltwater fundis.
 
I have been informed that our annual vacation will be at the Breakers in Umhlanga from the 14 - 21 December this year.
 
I know I'm about 7 months ahead, but hey, there's nothing wrong with pre planning. w;k
 
Tips for shore based f/f as well as light weight drop shotting would be appreciated, as would an Ulimate member looking for a salt water newbie tag along for a session. :blush:  ( no begging icon )
 
A reference to a good guide for an off shore f/f day ,( which does not need a second bond on the house to pay for :shk  ) would be just as much appreciated. :clwn
 
Thanks in advance, I know that  :appr:  will come to the party.

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

Herman, can't help with the f/f but don't worry about going and getting anything for the drop shot... I've got tons, and I'll put together a pack that should be good enough for anything that's biting. Hopefully I might even tag along !

Homie, if you are there at the time, WHAT A PLEASURE :happ: to fish with you.
 
Maybe you can watch me see my @rse this time. :crzy
 
I would really like to get a Natal springer and a shad on fly  :rck" .
 
Who would be the best Durban based "charter" for a day on the deep blue. ?
 
Please PM me as I don't think it's "right" to post the answer on the thread. w;k

Herman good luck for the trip, there are a couple of guys who fish the Durban area on fly quite often on the forum and get Barracuda, Springer and Kingies I am sure they would be of great help to you...

Any specific information that I could possibly help you with? As i do not know the area but know a bit about saltwater fly  w;k

Herman, you gonna sukkel a bit Umhlanga with fly fishing this time of the year (suppose I'm gonna eat my words!).
 
Rather take your heavy guns as there should be good flat fish around.

@ Gareth, please PM me names,  :dunno:
 
I'm also willing to travel. Just because I'm based in Umhlanga, dosn't mean I have to fish there. w;k
 
Where are the deep blue boys  :dunno: :dunno:
