Its been 7 months now, but finally I get to go on my honeymoon. So where does an adventure guide go on Holiday? Africa of course!!! Diving with the Great Whites, Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, on safari, then to Uganda to trek and see the Mountain Gorillas. I know it's tough but somebody has to do it! I will be gone for a month (back in September) and then it's straight in to the fishing season.

I have just published some new fishing articles on the TrackAir website. These 2 new
articles should give you guys some very informative and helpful reading, Follow these links
