hello everyone hope u all been well, finally after months of waiting and reordering new jigs, lines, tackle and reel parts from all over the place the time is very near. on nov 10 i will drive 350kms to kilwa masoko for a 6 day trip with my brother, we are really looking forward for this one as that place apparently has mad fish. i will post a detailed report n pics after the trip

thanks

Nice pics, a friend of mine just left for Tanzania today with tree Stellas that I gave a major overhaul.  It seems as Popping trashes even Stellas quite easy.

Great pictures.  Thanks for sharing.  Maybe no "monsters", but those are quality fish.

I think this is a desent Trevally, Trevallys of this size are not so common anymore due to overfishing.

Hi killerbug any reel can be wasted with sea fish like gts n doggies and with speed jiggig... i had no issues this time with the reels but the 4000 dsnt feel the same as new.... those are small gts for tz standards i lost big ones and another group got a 35kg on popping but you have to go far for the big ones

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Trishul:  That looks like one fine trip.  Congratulations.  Tell me you did not get in water with hippos did you? 
Congratulations on your engagement.  Dominick

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
