What's your favorite fishing spot?

[iNdlovu]

Some folks are avid fishermen, and some practice the art now and again.
Whether you are a regular fisherman or not, give us an idea of what your favorite spot is and what fish you generally target there.

Fresh water: Albert Falls Dam, carp, barbel and bass

Salt Water: Mazeppa Bay, shark

All catch and release

Albert Falls Dam



Mazeppa Bay, with its “own” island, which one can fish off and is accessible via a walk bridge

Great spot BC, I have spent some time fishing about 5 k's north of there at Cob Inn. Got some nice Garrick in the estuary, also catch and release.

My preference by far is skiboat fishing. Many years ago I owned a boat and we used to launch at Umkomaas. i am toying dangerously with getting another boat and spending my time off the coast of Moz. Now that I live in the lowveld it is quite doable. SO had better not read this

Yip, iNdy I also do the ski boat thing, but don’t have my own boat, so have to wait for an invite from mates

Umkomaas is a heavy launch

I will join you in Moz

My main thing is rock and surf, but will only start on that later as many may ask me stop because I'm hanging the forum

We went out on ski boat once from Shelley Beach...we were sick the whole morning and had to sit and watch everyone else catching fish!!

Did you have a few dops the night before

Poor Flutts, I have never suffered from any form of motion sickness - touch wood, but have had the odd unfortunate person that thought they were going to die on my boat.
Ja BC, Umkomaas could be hairy, we used to launch at the boat ramp about 200 meters up river from the bridge, warm the motors up whilst in the river then head out under the bridge through the surf. If there was a sandbar, it could sometimes get the adrenalin going, but no sandbar it was a breeze.
SO's not looking, so when I get another boat I'll give you a shout

I know a few good boat suppliers

[iNdlovu]

Ja, most of them are in your neck of the woods, they're in short supply here
