Adrenalin Fishing - New Player Joins the Tackle Market

adrenaline_logo 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.

What you will need to catch Carp

Carp tackle has to be strong. Not only because of the strength of the fish but the environment that it is to be found in can be full of snags, weeds and obstructions, and if it hasn’t then the carp will do its best to find them.

Using an electric trolling motor effectively

The inshore flats are too shallow to fish using the boat's big engine. Your boat may be able to float in eight to ten inches of water, but moving it down a mangrove shore line and quietly presenting your bait to the residents without spooking, can be challenging.
