WPC Cheeky: Come have my breakfast

When you need to unwind, to clear the space in your head and to recharge your batteries, nothing can compare with the quiet solitude and serenity of an isolated beach. My daughter and I experienced this in yesterday’s early morning walk along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline between Umzumbe and Pumula.

The cool blue ocean, the muted sounds of waves lapping on the golden beach and the stillness of the white clouds created the illusion that we were lost in a world of our own.

Not long after the Great Fishing Expedition I seremoniously parked my fishing rod at the #tidalpool to indicate the end of my fleeting fishing career #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
The very next day I was again invited on the Great Fishing Expedition. I’m not one to miss out an adventure and I promptly confirmed my enthusiastic intentions to share this pastime with my children by catching a beautiful zebra fish (called a Wildeperd in this part of the world). Once again the only catch of the day 😁 The rest of the holiday saw the siblings slipping off quietly in the mornings (without the parent) to play catch-up. Not very successfully, I must add #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
This little rock cod did not even have an opportunity to enjoy the squid that I so lovingly prepared for him. My son came to visit and I tagged along with the Great Fishing Expedition. In the end, I was the only one who caught any fish (size is not important in this instance – every little fish is counted). The siblings, being experienced surf anglers, were not impressed by this turn of events 😂 #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
Covid lockdown 2021 – I think this Rainbow Wrasse was my last victim before the lockdown regulations were lifted and I decided to give up on my non-starter fishing career. By this time my long suffering daughter insisted that I should learn to bait my own hooks and that was too much for my nervous system. I remember using mussels for this catch 😖 This photo ... we were getting VERY good at telling tall fishing tales 🙄 Back into the water went the little fishy, and back to swimming and beach walks I went. #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
Covid lockdown 2021 – fishing from the beach. This one was identified as a Blacktail – very common in this area. The size looks quite impressive, don’t you think – it wasn’t, actually. We were just learning to take better photos. Stand back from the camera and lower the fish towards the camera lens. Back into the water went the little fishy #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
Covid lockdown 2021 – fishing from the beach although I am still very wary of the unpredictable waves. A Spot Damselfish | Spot Sergeant was my next victim. Identified by local fishermen or maybe with the help of the internet. Back into the water. They can grow up to 25cm and this one still had some growing to do. #🌊 #southcoastkzn #kznsouthcoast #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #kzn #fishing
