Hi "J".

Glad you liked the site. I hope it will inspire SA Bassers to try the "big baits" and stouter tackle as I am certain there are much bigger Bass in Southern African waters than those which have been caught to date. In a tournament between SA and Zimbabwe at Lake Mteri about a year ago, guys had their lines snapped and rods were even broken!

The only problem for me is that I currently live very far from any locations which have the Florida strain Bass, but I stocked some Florida strain fingerlings in local waters last year near the town where I live, so we are hoping the local Bassing scene will improve in 4 - 6 years!

I have heard of Dabbie Products (the SA Kickboat manufacturer) and will contact John Jorgensen - thanks for the info! Perhaps he would like a link on the site.

I must admit I have not kept up with SA's progress at the recent Olympics - SA's recent sporting performance in a variety of disciplines has not been too encouraging of late!

Best regards and tight lines!
