It was pissingly cold, one of only 2 fish for last week but still my PB Galjoen ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galjoen at 37cm
(Image removed from quote.)
9ft Daiwa Exceller rod, tiny Penn Fierce and 6kg Suffic 832 braid

So much like.

Awesome setup, we run Penn reels for all our salsmurfer setups, I think se are up to 22 of them.

And I run Suffix 832 on all my Freshwater stuff!

I've been told there's even better stuff on the market now, but Suffix 832 changed the way I fish for the better....
The rod-length casting leaders were/are a mess at best....

6kg braid is actually nasty-thin stuff, the fact I could cast a 3oz weight with bait in cold, wet conditions without cutting up my finger is amazing.

GG , yellow season is basically here, expect some results soon!
Nothing like a yellowfish taking off on the fly rod!

Went for a little hour fishing trip after the drive back from Atlanta this morning!

New setup (Shimano Curado 200HG on a Falcon Inshore 8' with Suffix 832 and a Spro frog in Killer Gill on at the moment) is awesome!!

Also got to use my recent backpack from SAKnight! Fits great! Really like the padding.

Unfortunely the lake was a bust, 2 tiny bass but I was kinda expecting it.

Did a little inshore. Didn't catch much other than some needle fish and hard tails. But the view was great

Hit some new lakes for a few minutes

No longer living close to the river, gambled and lost in May, just can't manage the 1500km round trip ATM

The Vaal is a 100km one way trip for me, every second weekend looking for bars of gold!

Can I play too?

Gerber Octane to the rescue!

Trust me to get the ugliest fish in the lake.

Nasty cancer on his face, which was terrible because it was a good sized, healthy looking fish otherwise.

Total accident too. It was my first cast, and kind of half assed and next thing I know there's a fish on the line!

The Vaal is a different beast, I had 2 outings there several years ago with no luck, but I'm sure it presents many more opportunities than the Orange.
As soon as things heat up the fishing is over, and the floods leave so much sediment in the rapids the bugs are affected......meaning the fish simply feed somewhere else.
I did at least one trip per Winter since 2009 even when I wasn't living close by, and 3 trips were a complete bust including this year.

IF my luck holds I can go Carp hunting with my 3WT coming weekend, haven't done that in way too long and really looking forward to it.

Briar hooked up on a huge ray, fishing is picking up

Little cold, and super windy rainy day.

Great catches NK.

NKlamerus · **Reply #259 on:** November 09, 2015, 12:53:24 AM

Whew!! It picked up! Hit my honey hole and caught 9!!!!

Nicely done !

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #261 on:** November 09, 2015, 02:34:05 PM

Well done!

I badly miss catching those greedy little piggies.....

I wish!

I don't keep the Bass (Largemouth)

Most are caught in Golf Course ponds. I'd be eating everything they spray on the grass to make it look good.

The salsmurfer fish however are tasty!!

I thought with honey, one only catches bears... Great catch

NKlamerus · **Reply #265 on:** November 19, 2015, 05:05:27 PM

Been too caught up with school, the dog, and work. I'm so ready to do some fishing.

zoidberg · **Reply #266 on:** November 19, 2015, 09:21:14 PM

I've scouted out a few more kms of river and found a couple spots with trout feeding, just have to wait for the northwester to ease and I'm there.

Silly me forgot to grab the camera on the way out the door.

Fished for 20 minutes today. Felt good to fish but I just wasn't in the mood. I think I'm just getting bored with freshwater fishing. Not to mention I have N.E.V.E.R. seen the lakes so stirred up. I mean less than 6" of visibility. Has to be from the rain. But dang I was not expecting all that
