Needs some South African help
Submitted by crasny1 on Mon, 2011-11-21 15:46
Unfortunately my Aunt in the Strand is not travelling so well after a bowel cancer op, so I am dashing over there for a check on her (as a Doc) to see what the story is then let the mad crowd over here know whether they should all dash over. Flying tomorrow at 1145. Mostly around strand and my cousins are mad keen kabeljo and elf fishos, so once things calm down might head for a fish to clear my head.
Might pack the Stradic CI4000 and a saragosa 8000, but no rods. Just get some over there as travellers. I havent got one. Any location advise please let me know asap because they are working people and I might have to wing it.

Sorry if it was a bit ambiguous
Just the reels Ill take. Will borrow or buy a rod over there.
Not a house call -- its my dearest Aunt, and I will go over there anytime for that sort of house call.

not to sure on the spots, but the gear is similar.
south africa fishes well for elf and kabeljo, for those aussies here, thats tailor and mulloway. but the main things are the conditions are ussauly a bit rougher, also a lot more fishy as not many ppl have the equipment or passion to do it well. where abouts are you staying down there? st lucias beaches fish well for mulloway and big tailor, also have seen a mosselkracker being caught of there < cross between a blue grouper and a dhuie.
