Early morning in the Olifants is allways something special. The river is not like the Vaal River, it is much smaller and is actually divided into a series of pools. The pool start with shallow fast running water with some rocks, followed with a drop off a with a sandy bottom. The river is not too deep. We mostly fish, using small craft and electric motors, but I do a lot of bank fishing.
This morning My son Christiaan and I did some bank fishing. I starded the day with a drop shot, which was taken by a barbel. Not the result that I wanted. A swirl on the surface made me change to a top water rig. I used a dying flutter and my son used the skitter walk. It was not long before the skitter walk was taken. My son missed it :blue-evil: and used some language I didn`t expect. The next round he was prepared and landed a nice 1.06kg bass, much to his delight. Soon after I also landed one of 900g. There after they went off the bite. The little on became hungry and we left and arrived at home at 08h30. Not to bad. :blue-smile:
