Revealed: Why peckers get your bait before the “big one”

About Us
Howzit. My name is Shane and I am a fisherman from the South Coast of Kwazulu Natal South Africa.
I live across the road from Orange Rocks /Pothle Fishing Spots on Uvongo/St Mikes border, which is about 40 kms from Transkei and 130kms from Durban.
ShanesFishing.co.za is a day-to-day account of living on and fishing the South Coast.
