MYDOs in Durban available at The Kingfisher

MYDOs in Durban available at The Kingfisher

Hunter Street in Durban is where it’s all been happening for decades now. The Kingfisher guys were among the very first to stock Mydo’s and to advertise in The Sardine Newspaper, in 1987?! That’s over 25 years later, and I doing the exact same job I was doing back then? Talk about getting nowhere?! 😉 Ha ha ha!

Ok, back to the future – The Kingfisher has been stocked up nicely with the spread of the original baitswimmers, rigged and ready to go catch a boat winning couta – which they do, often (the last was by Greg Defillipi when he and his mates went away with the winning ‘couta, barely minutes before thay had to hand in their camera to the officials of the Marlin Ski-Boat club catch and release competition, last year. Pink #4 with a mackerel bait.)

Port-Edward-Catch-and-Release-Winners
MYDOs in Durban available at The Kingfisher. If you wanna look this happy, go catch a boat with your Mydo. That’s what these chaps did in last years Marlin catch n release comp down in Port Edward.

 

 

In decades gone by, an independent study by a retailer saw Mydo Baitswimmers as having caught 30% of ALL the fish caught in one year during a league in Natal waters.

So pop in to The Kingfisher in Durban when you get a chance to check it all out – the new Luck Shot range is also on the shelves.

The Mydo range is also available all around the rainbow nation and where they are not, they will be. Otherwise, for those without tackle shops nearby, give me a buzz on umzimkulu@gmail.com or 079 326 9671 and we can work something out with Postnet delivery, which works great so far.

Skipjack and Grunter murder by The Rod Club in PE

Skipjack and Grunter murder by The Rod Club in PE

Check how proud this dude is for killing a non-edible but beautiful would be free swimming skipjack, springer, or ladyfish, as they are more affectionately known. Such an amazing sportfish the springer is, but to kill one? That takes a special breed. I mean, we will eat a spotted grunter, a delicious kob…but a rare to find springer?skipjack murder

And then be a part of a club competition that advocates the killing of as many as 15 Spotted Grunter (note the capitals) by a single boat , and the winners win cash for the rape?

Wowser. There are some serious problems in the PE area, if this type of barbaric behaviour is permitted.

Ponto to Catembe. This could slow your day…(c) Carlos Carvalhos

 

Carlos Carvalhos just submitted some photos of a very serious road between Catembe and Ponto d’Ouro in very southern Mozambique…check out more from Carlos here…

This road is really a challenge, even when it’s dry. This is seriously 4×4 country…

Durban Ski-boat Club Bonanza 2015 is here

Durban Ski-boat Club Bonanza 2015 is here

Durban Ski-boat Club Bonanza 2015 is on this weekend
Durban Ski-boat Club Bonanza 2015 is on this weekend

It’s that time again…and everyone with a boat is headed for Durban. With two brand new boats as prizes, this is the biggest ski-boat fishing event in Africa. See you down there. Look out for the MYDO and thesardine.co.za stand somewhere…

“The Durban Ski-Boat Club would like to welcome all competitors to the Annual DSBC Bonanza. This competition is open to both boats and jetski’s.

Some exiting news is that, bedsides the main prize of a 510 Seacat on trailer with 2x60hp Yamaha two stroke engines, we have also negotiated an insured prize of a 636 Seacat with 115 four stroke Yamaha engines. VALUE R660000—–we thank Duncan Osborne of CC&A, our short term insurers, for putting this together. This is really going to add a new dimension to the 2015 event. Although the rules are being put to bed now it works on the basis of a sealed weight that is only made known on Sunday night at prize giving. The sealed weight will be determined before the event by the reassure’s, and handed to the club on Sunday. This is being publicised in Ski Boat magazine so make sure you get the issue that will be out this week. With this magnificent prize it really brings up the overall value of prizes and sponsorship to the one and a half bar mark!

All entries received before end of January receive 3 lucky draw tickets, end of February 2 lucky draw tickets and end of March 1 lucky draw ticket which will qualify for excellent lucky draw prizes!

Remember you have to be in it to win it!!”
