Coming to South Africa in December!

Hello Everyone!
It has been quite a while since I've been on the forum - almost four years! I hope that you are all well and that you have been enjoying some good fishing.

Just a bit about myself: I am a music professor (percussion) at Morehead State University in Kentucky. I am an avid bass fisherman who fishes local tournaments regularly but also loves to just go out on the water and fun fish as much as possible. Kentucky Lake is my favorite lake (about 4.5 hours from my home) and I try and get there 4-5 times per year.

I married one of your native beauties 5.5 years ago and we recently added a beautiful young baby girl to our family - she is now 11 weeks old! As a family we are committed to her learning Afrikaans and her oupa, ouma, tannie, and oom are all happy to be involved with that…in addition to mommy of course. My Afrikaans is on the beginner level - I can understand more than I am confident to speak, but I am learning slowly.

We will be visiting from December 11-January 7, going back and forth between P.E. and Jeffries Bay during our visit. On my first trip (several years ago) Shane Crause and his wife organized a trip for Nicola and I at Mofam and we had a great day and a half of fun and fishing with them.

I would be deeply indebted to anyone who would be willing to take me fishing for a couple days while we are in SA - it will be difficult to be in such beautiful weather and not fish! On my most recent trip (2 years ago) my family members tried to plan fishing for me, and while I truly appreciate their efforts, they don't have a perspective on what this bass fishing craziness is that we all have.

Therefore I am reaching out to you to try and see what possibilities there may be. I am not just tied to the Eastern Cape - I am willing to fly or drive to meet you. I will happily cover fuel and food and I'll have a couple rods and a small bit of tackle with me. If you are willing to be my guide for a day or two, enjoy some good conversation, etc. I would love to hear from you!

That's the spirit guys. Last Christmas I took Freddy (from Germany) bass fishing for a day and it was real fun! He also posted on here.
Have fun bmas13.

I will probably be in Clan for 3 or 4 days in the week 16 to 20 December. Camping alone. So if you can get there you are welcome to join me. PM me if you are interested.

Thank you for the very quick replies! It sounds like I will need to be planning a trip to Clanwilliam Dam! If there are any others in the Eastern Cape or KZN who might have some time available either before or after Christmas let me know. Thanks again to those who have responded!
