Other Information

I grew up in the area of Thendela (Kamberg). My fishing addiction started when I first sighted flyfishermen waving these long sticks a couple of times, pointing them down in the water and a few minutes later jumping like kids up and down the riverbanks with their long stick bent. From a distance I was curious what they were doing until I was introduced into the sport and right away fell in love.

I studied electrical at UNI-KZN but I was lying to myself - I’m no an engineer but more of a fisherman. After studying I started working at a nearby fishing shop as a salesman and a local waters guide.

A few months of doing that was enough to open the gates to a big, wild world out there. I was granted a great opportunity to go guide in South America (Bolivia) for mainly golden dorado and other species like tabarana, yaturana, surubi catfish and muture catfish. The Amazon of Bolivia was so good to me, providing many great memories and amazing fish. This was all fresh water and river fishing.

The salt called for duty and I got an amazing opportunity to guide in the saltwater environment in the Seychelles for species that include GTs, permit, triggerfish, milkfish, bonefish and many other deep sea species. This was a whole new game for me but I love every moment of it. I’m currently bouncing back and forth between Bolivia and the Seychelles and in between I guide my local waters in KwaZuluNatal for trout (brown trout and rainbow trout) and Natal scalies where I was born and bred.
