I was hiding behind bushes somewhere in Africa sniping at terrorists, strangely disturbed that a)I was killing people who couldn't see me and b) I was dressed as if for tennis, and my white shirt was a dead, excuse the pun, giveaway in the brown bush. The phone rang and my son demanded to know where i was as he had been waiting for me since 6:30 and it was now 7:30 Saturday 3rd july. quick change, put my lenses in and off to pick him up from Otto's.
Foggy morning, headlights on, decided not to fish the sea but on a whim to try Klein Princess Vlei where my fishing obsession was reignited just before the birth of my son 7 years ago. As Carol, his mother says,
"I fell pregnant, Mike went fishing!"
The vlei apparently one of the deepest in Cape Town ? Was heavily overgrown with various weed, parrots feather and others and so relatively unfishable, at least easily, and with Joshua one wants the easier casting experience possible. Here is an interesting link and story about Princess Vlei and Little Princess Vlei, recent suggestions of truning Princess Vlei into a shopping centre have met with strong opposition from Conservationists and a good thing too. http://campsbayratepayers.blogspot.com/2009/10/saving-princess-vlei.html
So, didn't want to try Princess Vlei as with the fog was too remote and i feel it is a bit too dangerous in terms of mugging. We drove to the uitsig Peninsula part of Marina de Gama to try for Carp, the canals have been cleared recently and were devoid of the usual carp cruising up and down.
we had to therefore try the main canal side that i knw is also home to large Carp. Tried chumming with dogbiscuits, but the egyptian geese , the amllards and the Coots were a problem in that they ate the damn chum. Used white bread rolled into dough as bait with no success once again. Not even a nibble in an hour and a half from about 9:30 to 11 am. Not the easy carp fishing experience i hoped for, guess i should try mielies, or prawns or maybe even some carp bait, must google that.
The Fan walk for the Argentina, Germany Match put an end to our fishing.
