BAREFOOT EXPEDITIONS
Barefoot Expeditions is all about having an encounter at one of our dams or rivers where you can experience fishing in a safe environment and receive coaching on fishing for Carp, Kurper, Mudfish and Yellowfish, depending on the venue that is being used.
All equipment for the day is provided and you can select from different packages that meets your budget requirements.
We do different focus groups, and you are welcome to enrol for one of the expeditions. The events can be booked on a Thursday, Saturday and Sunday on request.
