The Black Tails of Van Stadens

After finishing our hunt, we set off to van Staden holiday resort on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth to do some sight seeing and to visit the Taxidermy Africa in Humansdorp to see what our client wanted to do with his trophies.


After arriving at van Stadens late the Sunday afternoon, we had to cool down and started a fire to braai some chops and steaks.


At last we decided that we needed to test the fish waters as we wanted to get our client to catch some fish. We used pink prawns as bait. We had a few casts to see if we have luck. On the fourth cast, the wind started to pick up and with 1 undersize black tail, 2 big black tails and a barber we set off to our home for the night. We suddenly had a hard rain shower, but we didn't care about that seeing that we had some blood warmers in. Lol. We shared hunting stories around the fire into the early hours of the morning
