South Africa

Well, here I am in South Africa with my wife Jean on our annual visit to this wonderful place. We live on a plateau just outside Knysna in the Western Cape overlooking the Indian Ocean on one side and a beautiful Lagoon on the other side. The lagoon is tidal and is very much like our Moy estuary… full of boats and teaming with a big variety of fish.
However,I am not here to fish… golf is my thing out of season and I am a member at Pezula golf club. I have a golfing friend here from the UK and he has a boat so we head out accasionally and catch for the braai.
My 2012 season is approaching fast and I am beginning to get the buzz already. Pre season bookings are up on the last few seasons so fingers crossed for some decent fishing weather this year.
Here in South Africa they are beginning to talk about the changing weather patterns and concern being expressed by the growers… one crop in particular… tea!
I will be home April 3rd just in time to service engines and boats and launch into the new season April 17th.
I have enjoyed getting calls and emails from new and regular clients over the past few months. The diary is filling up and the atmosphere is building… I can feel it in my bones!!
Just had an email from Fisheries to say the first salmon of the season was caught on the Moy 28/Febuary. This is the earliest date the “first fish” was reported for many years so well done Martin Conroy. This is the third year running where Martin has landed the first fish of the season.
Have a great season everyone… safe boating and good fishing!
