Hi Guys
My name is Les, I haven't always liked fishing believe it or not, but now I am totally addicted!
Since a young age I always accompanied my father to fish on the Ciskei coast where he was dubbed the "Pignose king". I was hesitant to fish the sea at Chulumna so always wondered up the river and targeted estuarine species to pass the time while he targeted the more ferocious sea based creatures.
In hindsight I've always been a fisherman, I just never realized it until I found the facet of lure fishing that ideally suited and peaked my interest! Since then I have driven thousands of kilometers to frequent the wild coast in search of more tropical game species, and I absolutely love the more technical side of fishing!
Lure selection, weather, tides, Water color and positioning of lure all push you to find something new every cast, and that's what I love about the Transkei! You just never know what you're going to get!!
So naturally I wanted to help others experience the same excitement I have found and evolved to a point of now offering the very lures I use to others so that they may share in the same excitement!
Wishing you an awesome fishing experience and hoping you will catch your personal best fish using our equipment!
Les
