Re: Knysna on the African coast
Hi Gerard; Nice to see photos of the fish I used to catch when I lived in S.A.
Knysna a great place. Fished it every time my ship visited when I was in the S.A. Navy. Many moons ago but the memories of the fish in the area lingers. Thanks for the post. Jax

Hey Jax, didn't know you are an ex-pat. Navy boys had all the fun. :mrgreen:
Do you guys get the big yellowtail (kingfish) out your way in NZ?

Re: Knysna on the African coast
Hi Gerard; Yes we do get Kingies out here and they are the most severe critics of sloppy knot tying. and the best Rod and Reel testers you could possibly imagine.
They are shaped much like a Garrick and the same tactics and gear for Garrick will work well.
We have some good shallow water fishing for Kingies in the Tauranga Harbour and offshore can get really hot when the kingies are out to play.
Catching them on a Fly Rod is to say the least HARD. So carry spare lines and plenty of Flies or Lures. So there you have it. Interested?? Jax

Does a bear $hit in the woods? Of course!! I have always wanted an excuse to visit the South island for some trout fishing, but could never bring myself to do it unless I can team it up with some saltwater fun...this sounds good. :bigthumb: Please tell me more.

Re: Knysna on the African coast
Hi Gerard; I have spoken to a friend who is a Flats Kingy Nut and he is thinking of joining us at smallstreams and if he does. He will be able to give you all the gen on the Kingies.
As a matter of interest, we in the North Island have our fair share of rivers and streams with good Rainbows and Browns just waiting to be caught.AND! We don't have Didymo. [ just a little plug for the North ] We cant compete with the scenery down South but we are aware that the two Islands have their own distinctive charm as long as you have fun. Jax

Re: Knysna on the African coast
Thanks Jax
I'm not a guide anymore so if you want to try for them I'm always looking for an excuse to go fishing... a bit of petrol for the boat and we're off.
