Reef fishing with the Louw family
Reef fishing with the Louw family
Dec 22, 2020 Cape Town
This morning, we had the pleasure of hosting the Louw family for some light tackle reef fishing around the Atlantic seaboard. The two children had wonderful fun catching bronze bream and had a big sunfish come to swim by the boat. Unfortunately the young lady was a bit seasick, but the excitement made up for it. This is the perfect trip for the family to come and experience together
