Great to be part of the forum. My name is Emjay Smit, I am 28 years old. I have been bass fishing for the majority of my life. I own a little Bass Specialist tackle store called Bass Shack. I am from a small town (by American standards) called Nelspruit. Started competitive bass fishing in 1998 as a junior. I have had close to twenty top 10 finishes, two 1st place finishes, one runners up and two 3rd place finishes.

 

My dream is to be able to compete in the FLW Tour and then in the Bassmaster Elite series. Bass fishing down here in S.A is huge with some of the most breath taking waters in the world by anyone's standards. Unfortunately our economy does not really support bass fishing at a level as you would get in the United States. Our main sport revenues are basically from Rugby and Cricket origins. Another factor is that we simply do not have the size of water's that would accomodate the vast number of boats competing at a proffesional level.

 

Hope to learn, share and teach as much as I can...

 

Good Luck and Tight Lines....

Do you think you could post up a couple of photos of the Lakes you fish and the Bass you've caught ?

 

I'd love to see them.
