Only 14 Days Left.... Couple of years ago I bought a multiple camera system. I have tried getting GoPro's to work but I never really got it. So I purchased a portable, wireless, 4-Camera system. It's called the Flightcam360 I was never really able to get it to work either. I had put 3 cameras on the...

Ok, I have bought a boat in Africa (2 but whose counting) for my trip. I managed to get the last pieces to South Africa and Howard was able to fully complete the boat and break the new 20hp 4-Stroke in this past weekend. Pictures of the boat are in the other thread. BTW, it is a 20hp Yamaha. As it t...

You know it's funny you say that Steve. I have been think a lot about you since this whole adventure started to build into something beyond talk. Yes, the reservoir shapes are right out of the Home Study. As to the Hunting side of things, A couple of weeks ago Howard (my ground person in SA) mention...

I will be fishing 3 different Reservoirs. 1. Lake Phobane (name changed from what is displayed) Size is approximately 9 miles long and a mile at the widest. Water color this time of year could be as much as 3 feet and I have seen pictures showing color similar to white sandy. Just depends on rain an...

That's good you guys came out OK. Which Reservoirs...I will get some screen shots of them in a minute. This post is for boat pictures.
This boat is called the Tug 20. it is 14' or 15' long. Similar to a Troller with a modified "V" with sponsons.

Bill, you can't imagine the stories I've heard. Have been told there is plenty of 3G and 4G where we are going so I am thinking there will be at LEAST word posts. I may have to wait to post pictures and videos. It's going to be incredible. I meant to drop you a note: did you guys get through that we...

I'm not keeping the fact that I am going to South Africa a secret. It's all I have been talking about to anyone who asks me anything whether it's about computers, telephones, or fishing. I am sure it's annoying. Airline tickets were purchased, passport renewed, accommodations paid for, boat arranged...

Another GREAT video Jim.

Most of you know I am going to South Africa in a few months. As soon as I bought my ticket over my companion started sending me links to articles about the Crocodiles eating people not being careful around the shores of the reservoir we are spending the first week at. Yesterday, my companion sent me...

It's cool. I know that out in Utah there is an entire industry based on the Brine Shrimp that live in the intensely salty water. What they do is fly around the lake and watch for pink streaks in the water. The pink is the Brine Shrimp eggs. The plane makes a radio call to boats on the water ready to...

After leaving the house 7 hours later than I expected, Mark Brown and I are on ferry to the Bass Islands. Winds a fairly calm and if things stay like this, I think we'll have a good week of fishing.

So I did get the official word...that is a MEDIUM size Goliath Tigerfish. I'm not exactly sure where the danger comes, it's just what he said. There is a story of a gilley getting dragged off by one after incorrectly gaffing the 100+ pound monster, never to be seen again... After it take 3 days to g...

In planning my trip to Africa, my companion has suggested other future trips. Zimbabwe Bass, Goliath TigerFish in Central Democratic of Africa, and Nile Perch in Egypt. One of the trips is pretty serious with the potential of death so when I saw this photo, it really hit home. I don't know what kind...

Happy Birthday!

Welcome Denny.
Please feel free to ask your questions. I am sure there is a lot you are not sure about.
