Took the Landy to go play in the mud this afternoon down by the river after all the rains we have had, and stopped by a pool in the river which was clean and put my Berkley Cherry Wood 5'6" ultra light together and a reel spooled with 6lb Spiderwire and a small Meps spinner, cast out and as I was retrieving the line went spongy and I thought I had snagged some weed, as I lifted the rod the line went tight and then a lovely Large Mouth Bass of around 1.8Kg (4lbs) jumped out the water and took some line. It was great to hear the little Daiwa 1000 scream and the fish gave me a really good fight on this light tackle. After that I carried on playing with the Landy in the mud for a while and headed home.

Saw some of the locals fishing out there using flying ants as bait, and the one guy got a nice size Barbel (Sharp Tooth Catfish).

Bio: I have been fishing since I was 5 years old in Durban and have fished many places around the world and in South Africa, but Durban is my home waters. I fished competitive for many years and I have been running my own charters since 2008 with 2 companies and 2 boats, fish a variety of styles and target a variety of fish species in both Salt and Fresh water, have many published articles in several magazines on fishing. Love nature and outdoors, Am very conservation minded and have a passion for birds. I am crazy about big Tuna, Marlin Fishing and Game Fishing, and also love light tackle spinning, am a total lure junkie. Represented my province in fly fishing for many years and am also pro staff for Rapala/Shimano. I want to write a book on fishing one day. 3 items left on my fishing bucket list, guess then a new bucket list will be in order. As a writer I have my own quote: \"I love taking people fishing because it releases their inner child, and in doing so keeps my inner child alive.\"
