You name it, it's there!
You are right about your fly choice. Number one choice for me would be a crab immitation, without a doubt!
According to the locals and people who regularly visit Hentiesbaai, the fishing is not what it used to be anymore, but fortunately i did not see it in its hay day so i cannot really compare, but for what it is worth, it is still the best fishing I have encountered anywhere else. I visit it twice a year, once with my family and once with my mate Gary. We could put a party of 8 guys together for my next Gary trip. The house I use can accommodate 8 guys. I will be spending the whole of December there with my family, but my next manne trip will be in Feb/March next year. I have space for another four anglers. Cost would work out to about R50 each per night, and then the cost of fuel, food and drink on top of that.
That sounds awesome Chris, please give me more details, it fits in with my b-day so that'll be an lekka pressie from the swambo
