Me, my boy and a friend and his son went fishing today.
Some observations
First time in my life I needed( or let us say was asked for) a fishing license( luckily we had)
You could always fish where you like, now they have rules and fishing spots are numbered and you cant even choose, They tell you where to go. Funny thing is there is about 60 spots and there were about 25 cars. But they started at spot one and everyone was stacked at one side of dam and the whole other side was open. Some brains don't work, so with social distancing they now have rules and congest everyone in one area.
Never did 30min pass when some police or traffic vehicle did not drive past to look for offenders. Now what puzzles me is in town 20, 100 etc stand in queue 1m apart, taxis, vehicles are full of people less than 1m apart in a closed environment. You never see police. But I stand in the open air at a dam with the closest person 20-50m from me, but there is constant policing for the 50 people that is there for the day

Not a single fish, but man was it good to sit in the open, even the cold wind could not spoil it. It was -2 degrees when we arrived at 5H30, better than work or sitting at home, Sommer going again in the next week or two

Rietvlei, many a fisherman has exchanged his kit for ballet shoes at that dam, she is a cruel mistress.

I wish my company allows me to work from india. I will be happy to still pay taxes here. But at least I can save on rent, household expenses etc.
For example instead of r900 for internet a month I will be paying only r100 a month for the double the internet speed in mumbai.

My friend is a big( or let me say serious fisherman). On the other stand next to him was a lady fishing on her own, She was the only one the whole day to catch a fish, she got 2. We helped her to land them in the net. And to rub it in even more, both carps was in the 8kg range. She did not even weigh them and claimed "Ahg another small one" HEHE most average anglers have not even caught a 8kg carp

Have no idea what that is!

It is a small, very potent spicy biscuit from Cape Malay origins. Had them as a child growing up in the Northern Cape as well. Acquired taste, if you like cardamom you would like these. ONE biscuit is usually more than enough.
