Hi All,
My names Andre, another South African joining the site following the spark of interest in Glass here in SA over the last few years, but with very little info on the ground here, looking forward to learning more...
I based in Cape Town, and fish for pretty much anything that swims... the bulk of my fishing over summer is on the magical little Freestone streams we have in the mountains surrounding Cape Town... Superb waters and fish.. and probably the perfect waters for Glass...
The rest of my summer fishing is chasing Carp in the various rivers lower down, as well as any ditch or pond I can find the dirty bastards in... The rest of the time I'm chasing Saltwater fish offshore here, or in the estuaries, or Mozambique, The indian ocean Islands and Oman in the middle east....
Currently busy with my first glass rod since I was 7 years old ( 28 years ago!! ), an Epic 686 which I'm building up... Wanted a rod for the carp and the stillwater trouting I do over the winter as I'm lucky enough to have access to some incredible private still waters boasting a large number of 10lb plus fish... but already looking at some lighter models for the streams.. current small stream weapons being a Sage 00#, so ideally would be looking at something as light as possible on the glass front...
Anyway, thats me, thanks for having me... looking forward to learning as much as I can, and sharing my experiences with my glass once its built up and fishing...
A couple pics of of the fish and fishing in my neck of the woods..

Hope to be chasing all these on my 686 soon!
