Hi guys I have been an inactive member on your forum, and have read and seen some really cool things on here .
I am visiting sunny Australia, My sister's Wedding in Perth .
An I just wondered are there any Expats on here .
As for my Fishing agenda , things are unknown , and still to be researched on my side .
Any Ideas , spots , species from the locals will be appreciated ....
Please enlighten me .
Regards

Thanks for everones
Thanks for everones responses , I see some familar words like Vok ha ha ha .
to the guys that has left , ZA , well the mountain is still flat , we still got smoking hot girls , and we had a SUPER SUPER Tuna season , so far the biggest Yellow fin landed was 132kgs by Jason von Bonde [ from Tuckers tackle] I Saw the fish in Houtbay and I would have estimated it to be closer to 160kgs , a GIANT GIANT of a fish !!!! Definately the biggest fish landed the past 3 years ... only by 15 kgs thought !From the surf , we have taken some Bronz whalers ranging from rats to fish close to 180kgs , the Kob[your mullowayhas been scares and not alot of big fish has been landed in Falsbay , however thare been some good catches of large 20 to 30 kgs Kobs down in Struis .
the Gamtoos surf has agian produced 2 giants of close to 80 kgs , yes 80 kgs ....
Lekker guys

It is usually easy to spot the manne on a surf beach -
- they are the ones using overhead reels, long rods etc. In extreme cases (well, so far only me actually) you may also see a KP in action. If you do, come and say hi

Funny, I grew up with the KP reels
The Indians on the beach taught me to cast as a kid, then I saw this guy use a penn surfmaster or castmastrr, and geez could he chuck that 5oz lead...had me sold on overheads that day. And today I like the spin reels for soft plstics

this is the east coast of South Africa after all 
. Just look for rods the length of industrial antennas, overhead reels and a few slide baits. There is plenty here, I must make the effort to meet a few one day, now we are settled in Perth now. Let us know if any gatherings are organised.

Galjoen season just opened
Galjoen season just opened and theres some nice hole open in the Standfontein /Wolfgat areas .
Those size Crackers are far and few between , up in EP they get them good sized fish .
In the past 5 years we have had no Crackers over 13 kgs ... We actively target them in Struis , and Gourits .
