We got the boat in the water at around 15h30 and fished until around 18h30, our purpose for the day was to target Bass on topwater with light spinning tackle.

When we got there the wind was blowing hard, but it did subside as it became evening, the water was extremely warm averaging between 29.5 and 30.6 deg. C.

We had great fun even though most the Bass we got were small; we got many strikes that we missed and in the end landed around 10 or 12 Bass between us.

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.\"
