Rocket-Boy Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 "Most of the time (24%) was spent 11–13 km upstream,where it actively inspected boats and shore-anglers, a behaviour considered to be an opportunistic foraging strategy." This is the bit I found the freakiest (is there a word like that?) Anyway, the mere idea of one of them "inspecting" me, hip deep in the soup, in the dark, is enough to make my jewels shrivel up and withdraw. Once, while fishing right in the Kosi mouth, at night, I had a fright that put me off sharks for ever. It was in the near pitch dark. You just cast blindly and strip your fly back, until you hear the schools of mullet rustling, fleeing a predator. Then you can also see the silver rustling of the jumping mullet in the faint light and you cast your fly into that chaos. If you are lucky you get a Giant Kingfish hookup. (The mayhem that then explode is another story for another day.) Mostly you are knee deep in the tidal water rushing through the mouth, sometimes thigh or hip deep. If you make a mistake, you step off the sandbar and you suddenly go swimming, rod and all and on your way to the ocean. So, after doing this for a few hours you start to think about the predators, and you wonder if perhaps it is a shark, rather than a Kingfish, chasing the mullet that are heading your way at a rate of knots. Your mind plays all kind of tricks and you distinctly hear the Jaws theme song in the background..........then suddenly, out of the chaos of mullet, tide pull, rods and lines, stripping basket, a big bull mullet, about a foot and a half long, jumps and hit you square in the middle of your chest at full speed! It feels like a big guy punching you hard! Let's just say, I got back to dry land pretty quickly and I stayed there for the rest of the outing. I was glad my pants was already wet so nobody could make fun of them! So, now you know, a peaceful little mullet scared me worse than a shark ever could!Hahaha! your mind sure can play tricks like that, I hope the mullet at least landed in your stripping basket Had a similar incident with a friend of mine, we were fishing a dropoff on a sandbar and the tide was coming in, was about 8pm at night when we started heading back, same deal where you feel your steps to avoid going off the dropoff. So I casually mention its prime Zambesi conditions and he gets all freaked out and starts half running back... I still remember his hat floating after he stepped off the dropoff!! by the time I got back to my car he was already gone, took a few days before he was willing to talk to me again lol!

DJR Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 FB_IMG_1497868845242.jpgGreat shape, but the colouring in spoils it for me, on a purely artistic level of course. It is as if there was no overall design involved, just some random grafitti not forming a greater whole artwork But still, the sculpting is superb! Long Wheel Base 1
