Its been a quiet couple of weeks with only a few fishing trips. We tried a new spot called Toteng which is a village 60km from Maun in the direction of Ghanzi, but without any luck. Fish activity was plentyfull, but they did not seem very interested in anything we presented them with. Local fisherman had no problem catching them with earthworms as bait, but that kind off defeats the purpose of trying your luck at artlure.

We caught a few barbel around the 5 kg mark and must admit that my new Nexave rod paired with Abu baitcaster has some serious pulling power. Would like to get these tested on some proper tigers in the Chobe or Okavango some time. Ive been doing alot of reading on targeting the bigger barbel, and will soon start using bigger baits like bream heads and so forth to see if I can break the 10Kg mark. Will first need to find some deeper water though. Also keen on picking up some loodkoppies to try and target them on artificials.
