The trailer must have looked to anyone else like that of a band of gypsies on the move... Motorbike, 2 x bicycles, fishing gear, a 25lt. petrol tank... odds and ends.....
Nearly in Koffiefontein - A salt pan next to the road. The land out there is very, very dry, and they better get rain soon or there could be abit of a disaster.....
The farm - dry.....
The boys took two friends with - what a ball they had. Here they are stuffing around on the water in a small rowing boat.....
Boiling water on the open fire at about 6.30 am down by the riverside....
The boys had to clear a large section of the water directly in from of the fishing spot of water grass. It's a bloody pest, and I don't think can be eradicated... They filled the boat with the stuff! and then we dumped it.
One of twins - very thin cause it's mother has rejected it, and is only allowing the other twin to feed on her. I actually saw her headbutt this one when it came too close. No fear though, the farmer will bottle feed him.....
The total catch for Thurs. pm, all day Friday, all day Saturday, ...... 2 fish, one normal carp, on large scaled / King carp. Not a bad size.......
Sunset on the farm - beats anything you will see in the city. The colours are out of this world!Salagatle!

Get some Grass carps!
Was that a lake or a river? Are there any crocs there? I was always afraid to go near water in
SA, even the ocean for fear of sharks. Great pics!
What the hell are grass carps???
It's a river actually, but the water isn't flowing at the moment due to the drought. We are just lucky that at this point, on the farm, is a very deep pool so there is an big "dam" if you will. Crocs!?!?! No, no crocs. Some otters, and lagavaan (monitors) have been spotted. Oh, and a breeding pair of fish eagles....
Salagatle!
