One of my favourite fishing destinations, is the Cape Point Nature Reserve at the Southern tip of the Cape Peninsula . Living as I do in the City Bowl bordering the Cape Town CBD, the trip to the Reserve is a long one, and invariably takes me past Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and the naval town of Simonstown.
During the 2006 season, on my way to the Reserve I frequently noticed a lone angler religiously spinning off a spot known as the Battery in Simonstown, an inconsistent area known to produce the very occasional yellowtail to those lucky enough to be there on the right day. I stopped one day in October to make this angler’s acquaintance, and an instant friendship was born.






I have seen many lipless cranks in many tackle boxes that have never been used, the reason I think is that people buy them and do not know how to fish them and when they try them they get snagged.
