Looks like you have a large rise and fall ,with your tides there, skipper
 
Brickburn, have you never trolled for hippo? And here I thought you knew everything.

there was a hippo on the other end of the line caught through the ear , and we worked the boat to keep it on for about 10 mins, as to start with we werent sure what it was until it eventually came up :D

Why not just dive in, wrestle them outta the water, and go fist to cuff with the hippos? Fishing gear seems an unfair advantage don't you think?
 
A little 30's style boxing. "Put up your dukes, hippo"

Still learning every day mate.
 
Thank our lucky stars for the few $$$$$ tips....:A Band:
 
Spike, was only pulling your leg. Still in SA.
 
I'm afraid the only sunset photo I have. Taken at camp in the Baviaans mountains in the Eastern Cape. The times I hunted in South Africa, I was either in a vehicle on my way to hunt a concession during the sunrise. Or on my way back from a concession when the sun was setting. :( I will have to make extra time for photos the next time I am in Africa.

I will admit that I only got one good sunset picture this last trip, but I did get one.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
