What our friends say ...

Hi Rob. Nice to see that everything is working again. I don't think that you know what kind of impact you make to people that love fishing and everything around it. You are a true hero to many of us, not because that we think that you are stunning and could be model anytime. In fact you are rather ugly when I think of it, No it is your rare love to the ocean and things living in it. We catch it because it's there, without it, it is nothing to catch!!! You and I ain't over yet man; I am going big before i die and you are not going to stop me. Just tell me the price for your scabby old boat for a few days and I write you a check this instant. See ya before you know it... Pete"the swede" Atkinson. From Rob: This was one of the more pleasant mails I get after making my clients suffer on fish. Guess all's fair in love and war, and I probably deserve it. But what you don't see is my reply ..... and I'll keep it that way :-) And hey, one day I'll also be a star, even if it's only in a horror movie - so there.
Good after noon My name is Stiaan du Plooy and I live in PTA (Pretoria). I want to congratulate you on your excellent web-site as this kept me busy for over 3 hours! You also made it clear to me that one have to start thinking before just going to fish (with your inputs on the tackle)! This sport is not really new to me but as I am living inland and not able to fish whenever the whether suits for it, you opened up my eyes and the way forward in my fishing! By just reading your articles and stories, not to mention the photos, I will make a point of it to have the privilege to come down and fish with you guys! It is one of my dreams to be in a battle with an 80+kg Yellow fin on 15kg line and I must say you have convinced me to contact you when the bank manager gives me the go-ahead! In the meantime keep up the good work and very interesting tests on the tackle! Greetings
Hi Rob I just want to pass on a big thank you from myself and my brother after our fishing trip with yourself on Friday, 27th February. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed your knowledge, experience and your company. The fishing was great and I have no hesitation in recommending yourself to anyone interested in sea fishing. Once again, many thanks and hopefully we will see you again for more of the same some time in the future. Best Regards Nairn Gammie Scotland
Hi Rob I hope all is well. Just a quick note to let you know what a good day was had with you back in early Jan. Paddy hasn't stopped talking about his Cob catch! I have attached a few pic's you may or may not want to use. I'm surprised we made it back form your club house in one piece after the amount of rum we consumed! We all hope to back in CT by the end of the year so will definitely get in touch and arrange another trip with you, weather permitting! Many thanks again for some great memories and hope to be back soon! Cheers David Cullington
I didn’t have the time to thank you before we left the last time. You and your deckie Dave have given me and my friends lifetime memories that I am most certain of that I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere. When I talk to you on the phone the first time 2 years ago I believed that you and your fishing company sounded like the real stuff. And I was right. So Rob, from a cold and grey Sweden from all my heart, thank you for given me those days. And Rob, I still want to get the big one… Pete”the swede”Atkinson
We arrived home yesterday and all we can do is talk about returning to fish again next year. As owners of a bait & tackle shop here in the states we know fishermen, and you really know how to get the fish. Deb & I were impressed at how passionate you & the staff were to making everyone have a great day of fishing. Everyone entering the shop has to view our fish pictures before leaving. Your friends Ken & Deb. capttate@bellatlantic.net
Hi Rob Just a quick message to say thanks for your tremendous hospitality to us on our recent trip to S.A. Please say hello to Dave Mark and Andre from all of us. We enjoyed all aspects of our trip to S.A. but the days we spent fishing were special. We enjoyed the fishing, the fun we had on the boats and the socialising afterwards. Once again thanks for everything Rob. Roll on 2004 --looking forward to the return trip. If you or any of the other guys are on this side of the world please give us a shout. Thanking you Eric O Neill Ireland WHOSE YOUR DADDY.
"Great waters and great skipper and that's a great combination! It's impressive how Rob just knows where the fish are. I can truly recommend the Jabulani." Peter Sederowsky, Director, QXL plc (peter.sederowsky@qxl.com)
"I have had no hesitation in recommending Rob Naysmith to any of my friends heading down to Cape Town. Having been on two trips with Rob I found him not only to be utterly professional, but great fun as well. It was immediately clear that he really knew his stuff, and knows the area intimately. I came away from both days having had great sport, good fun and a marvelous learning experience. I can't wait to get back out there!" Vaughan Tredwell Equity Derivatives Broker FIMAT International Banque SA London
" I cannot recommend fishing with Rob enough, he was knowledgeable about the hugely diverse environment around and was keen to impart this. He has an uncanny knack of finding good fish and even during a slow day his enthusiasm for fishing in general and wealth of anecdotes guarantees an entertaining day" James Gregory London Age 29
Hello there Rob Just a compliment on the comprehensive and excellent site. I find the reports and updates most useful. Keep up the good work and well done on the rescue. Regards Zaeem Soofie
"You don't want to go with Rob. He's a salty old sea dog who thinks like a fish, tells the tallest of tales and makes you work hard all day. Stay away and give me more time" Paddy McGovern Director Marketing - ISI NSW - Australia
"An unscheduled spare day in Cape Town and what better way to see the action than to give Rob a call. I called Rob at 09:30 and by 11:30 we were into the first of 27 Snoek (yet another record for Rob and his team) total weight caught was 226 pounds It was the best day I have had offshore fishing and the next time I come to Cape Town I will definitely be planning ahead and maybe go for the Tuna or Marlin or maybe even a few Brownies from the Stellenbosch mountain streams!"
