We fished the river section fir about 4hrs this morning and the wind was blowing reasonable strong. Water surface temperature varied from 24.5-25.5 Deg C.

We started with weightless flukes in the grass but the results were not so hot except for a 1.5Kg that I hooked up and so we changed over to weightless Zeros and drop shot with finesse worms.

My niece got her first bass which was her first fish ever and it was a whopping 1.74Kg on a weightless Zero.

She was so scared of the fish it took a lot of convincing to get her to hold it for the pic.

We got around another 10 fish or so all around 300-400mm on weightless zeros between 1-2m and drop shot at around 3-4m.

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.\"
