Greetings to all Jiggers & Poppers, we trust that you are now feeling that Spring is in the air, and already we have been recieving some good reports of Yellowtail and Snoek from the Cape. In the next few weeks we expect to hear of good catches of other species from all over the country, and from our neighbours on our East and West Coasts.
New Gear Arrivals:
We have an exciting range of new gear arriving in SA around the 12th September, and we will send out a Newsletter as soon as it arrives.
Expeditions:
We are announcing another new trip for 2011. The Rugby World Cup GT Extravaganza at Linene Island Resort.
Linene Island Resort together with Jigstar Africa are hosting a Jigging & Popping GT Extravaganza which will take place during the RWC.
Trip Dates: 17-24th October 2011.
Linene Island, also known as The "Island of Kings" off the coast of Vilanculos in Mozambique is an excellent destination for Huge GTs, and this is one of the best times of the year for these awesome predators, the weather and water conditions. For pictures from the trip to Linene last year, please visit our gallery:

This is a fantastic trip for those who want to mix it with GTs (and many other in the Caranx family) as well as Amberjack and a myriad ot other tropoical species - it will be hard-core fishing! We also get to watch the Final on the Big Screen.
