Surf casting rig

This came as a shock to me....this particular scarborough fishing reel used to belong to me.
I changed the location of the handles as the screws had been yanked out during a battle with a rockcod.
Where the one handle is placed,the wood had cracked and I used superglue to glue it twice in two different places
under the handle.
The old holes I filled up with the type of putty which gets two parts mixed which later hardens.
It was in Durban South Africa....Can you tell me where it is at the moment?......

I was quite shocked when I saw the picture of the scarborough reel in the picture.
This particular reel belonged to me many years ago.
I changed the location of the handles as they were yanked out during a struggle with a rockcod.
Under the one handle there are two cracks which I had rejoined with super-glue.
Where the handles used to be....I filled the holes with a two type putty which hardened.
Also,the centre-piece under the flat screw there is a rollerbearing...there used to be a concave brass plate
so that saltwater would not enter.
All I want to know if it is in Durban or somewhere else......THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Chris nice bunch of fish..are they from off the beach

Hey Dimitri

Sorry mate can't help therr, was just a pic i pulled off google images!
If you can find it you may be able ro find the website and trace it,
You better clarify what a rock cod is as here it is a tiny pest fish that steal your bait! Haha!
Was that reel a Keith Palmer? He made some of the best balanced scarboroughs i have ever used.

Good luck, would be great to find it!

Yes the snapper are early this side of the Peninsula this year as well. Some good fishing off the rock outside my place. When High tide corresponds with evening is always good fishing and with an easterly to boot you cant go wrong.

Set the net on high last night and picked it up this morning on high. 4 snapper and more than 35 good flounder. It never rains but it pours had to return many of them to stay within the 20 fin fish limit. No photos Wife is away for a few days with camera.

Been the occasional report of the odd brim being caught in the bay which is early and encouraging.
Scribe if i leave my net overnight at the moment it is full of small Kahawai and weed when i pick it up., bloody kahawai tangle the Shit out of the net.

Heard the snapper had come inshore up the coast , all the boats are in close near the rocks apparently.Haven't had a chance to get out for couple a weeks ,setting up white bait stand & away hunting last weekend.

So much to do ,so little time .Not enough hours in a day at the mo !

If things go to plan this weekend @Chris I might head off to whiritoa for a cast during the day on sunday, just got to see how things are looking closer to the day.

Let me know if your coming over @hunter308 I might join you if that's sweet with you
