Flytalk Rock 'n Surfers

[Chris Shelton]

I was paid a pleasant surprise visit by a well known fellow Cape fly fisherman and Flytalker this morning and well, since not too much is going on fly fishing wise in the Cape at the moment (with me anyway), we got chatting about rock & surf angling instead. It wasn't long before we were tearing line off reels and 'false' casting my 14 footers on the lawn and all the more I could see his enthusiasm growing. Anyway, I'm happy to announce that I have successfully recruited another potentual Macassor all-nighter! I have just received the call, this afternoon he treated himself to an early Christmas present and is now fully geared with rod, reel, hook, line and sinkers! Apparently another popular flytalker has got wind of this folly and is already making plans to join in. Watch this space as our little group continues to grow. I'm so excited!

Chris - There is a thread on Sealine in the Saltwater section with a group of guys who are organising regular R&S All nighters along the False Bay coast, with a good number of guys, and even getting security guards etc... unfortunate to have to think about things like that in this day and age, but its a reality you don't want to look over or ignore....

Some good fish coming off the beaches recently... alot of good Kob, and heard tell of a 14 Kilo Steenbras that came in between a good number of 10 to 16 kilo Kobbies....

Of course the Bronzies are getting pretty thick too so keep that in mind...

Turncoat The f/f purists will have you banned along with me.

Oh Sh!t another one liner, I'm now fast approaching death on the forum.

At last a thread I can read without resorting to my telescope!

Said Flytalker was over at my place this afternoon showing off the new toys!

I think I will have to learn how to cast one of those things again.

So, you guys joining me and Jasper at 04:00 at the normal spot Saturday morning?

I'm also fishing with the sealine okes, nice to know your car is safe and there is enough guys on the beach - safety in numbers. Macassar now in holidays and especially over weekends see a lot of anglers and that keeps it safe as well. Police patrol regularly.

Did you use floating or sinking line on the 14 footers Chris? What line weight? 8 ounces?

You are more than welcome to join us Grant. I have a spare rod and reel that you are more than welcome to use as a introduction. Will be really great to have you with us!
