:lol:

I thought I might get a few raised eyebrows, starting with a topic like I did. :twisted:

I'm sure many have noticed them before, but last year when driving over the Sabie Bridge at Lower Sabie, I spotted a few Tiger Fish in the water. As a keen fisherman, I was super excited to see that there are other areas in South Africa where Tiger's are found. Wouldn't mind being able to drop a line in there... :twisted:

Sorry the pic isn't all that clear, but it's not easy taking photos into the water...

Join the club okie. :thumbs_up: How often have I stared at a stretch of water, itching to cast a spinner or a fish fillet and see what comes up. The Pioneer dam at Mopani looks like a very good place to chase after bass and tilapia.

I have had the pleasure of fishing the Luvuvhu river up north(with a staff member) and caught a few Tigers. Not a tourist in sight and the place all to ourselves(and a few eles). What a pleasure!
