๐ฃ Welcome to Rod & Rookie
I'm a beginner angler from Durban, South Africa, documenting my journey from complete fishing rookie to becoming a confident and knowledgeable fisherman.
Alongside my wife behind the camera and our young family, we'll be exploring Durban's beaches, learning surf fishing techniques, testing bait, understanding tides, reviewing beginner-friendly gear, and sharing every success, failure, lesson, and fish along the way.
Whether you're new to fishing, returning after years away, or simply enjoy family outdoor adventures, this channel is for you.
