Hello People
We again fished the grave yard on saturday night and sunday morning right through until 3pm on sunday.
Saturday night weather was fine until it started to rain.A few shoal sized kob were caught all ranging from 1kg to 4kg.We did fish until 4am but then the rain became unbearable so i decided to go dry off in the car until it stopped.
At about 6am we started fishing again right at the forehead where Lance Pillay managed to land a small kingie of about 2kg.After that it went dead until Jonah Daniel Landed a 3kg Spotted Rock Cod.{10am}
On his next throw he landed a snapper salmon of about 1kg and for a snapper that is big.We tried sliding baits the whole morning but to no avail the baits kept coming out untouched.So we all decied to concentrate on the edibles Jonah hooking into.
A Jo Burg member Mohamed did join us later on in the morning but also like me and Shaun didnt manage to land anything,I guess Jonah had the midas touch this week end cause he is the only one who landed some good size fish.
All in all we had a good outing with the weather eventually giving us a full days fishing and some results.The pier is still open but not officialy i did see them constructing some sort of boundry fence so i dont no how long we have left to fish the grave yard.
Anyone who has more insight with regards to the closure of north pier please post for us.I have some pics for you all so you have an idea of the conditions at the pier.
The tackle used to by Jonah to land these two fish (Rock Cod-Snapper Salmon)was a
Beach Master Rod Daiwa Saltist 50 and the bait was sardine belly turned inside out with chokka strips put onto the end of the bait looking like tenticles.This seemed to be the key ingredient in Jonah's sucess in landing these two fish.
Lance Pillay used a Loomis 14ft 3piece and a Daiwa sl30h To land the kingie.The bait lanced used was pink prawn{from a seafood shop}not the regular yellow box prawns and chokka which he smashed to a pulp and the presented it like a crayfish tail.
I think in both Lance and Jonah's case the presentation of the baits was key to their sucess.Well guys thats all from me for this trip and North Pier Hope next trip I have even better news for you all.
Cheers Riymos
