Hi, I don't know where to post this, the dark continent has not been included in the fishing regions!

If anyone is interested in seeing how we shore fish in South Africa and Namibia, here is a documentary of the last test between the two countries. Note there is not a single multiplier reel to be seen anywhere. 10 or 15 years ago everyone would have been fishing large multipliers in the Trinidad 30 range with a long mono topshot, lots of braid backing and a pretty thick mono leader. Now it is all grinders and braid. Unfortunately the weather was atrocious and it seems very few decent fish came out. Often in these comps teams can score 100s of points a day and here it seems to be below 50. Jeri used to fish for Namibia, not sure if he was fishing here



Cheers,

Leon
