Ponat Malongane in Southern Mozambique was host to the annual STRAB festival, which is a display of 30 of southern africa's best and up and coming bands. But for us it was much more about the fishing, especially for me, my fist sail fish from a kayak. Roodeplaat was host to the 2nd fresh water kayak fishing comp of this season. De Hoek below Bloemhof Dam Wall was the venue for the 1st fresh water kayak fishing competition of 2009/2010 Roodeplaat dam proved to be difficult fishing. Thanks to everybody who fished on Saturday! Unfortunately the fishing was slow, but the guys fished hard and managed to boat three species with over 50 fish in total. 3 days and 2 nights on Bloemhof Dam, kayak fishing for some of the biggest barbel in South Africa.
