2 Rookies I Boertjies in J-bay

This was our 1st time going for sharks and we were very unsure about where and how, but thanks to a lot of reading on Sealine and feedback from Trophy we decided on J-bay for our new adventure. Thanks Trophy for also hooking us up with Brad, he showed us the nice spots and gave us a one day crash course on the basics. He also helped to land my cousins first big one (120.11kg Raggie) Thanks Brad for a very nice day. Should anyone whish to get a hold of Brad, thy can pm me, it was definitely worthwhile for us. Here’s some of our happy moments….


We got these two pick-ups at exactly the same time, so you can only imagine 2 rookies running around in the dark. Mine was a 187kg and his a 207kg both females.



the next day a 37kg male an some small ones

next day a 134 Kg male and some small ones


The last day we got a 7/2 hiding at the “gab” and only landed a small black tip
and 1 sand shark. One of the monsters broke the line after running for more than 500m.

Awesome guys!

I'm Green with envy.

Het ook die naweek n paar geelstert koppe huis toe gebring vir n haai trippie binnekort. Julle het my nou lekker lus gemaak:fishn

thanks guys...

Self al klaar weer lus, but where to catch them in winter time.

Any suggestions^^..

Nice fish, when did you catch these?

They are on the Wild Coast and even some reported in the Richardsbay area now

Nice fish . Must've been One helluva Trip .

207 Kg is a goen . Most People will spend their lives , chasing a fish of That size .

Hi Enigma, the 2 big ones we landed on 23 April, just before midnight. After fishing the whole day at platform and not really finding what we were looking for, we decided to make a stop at paradise beach.. it was worth it.
Both of them ran at exactly the same time, we first ran to the one rod only to realize that the other one was also screaming. I thought that the lines were over each other but the big one of my cous decided to make a run down the beach, it was only then that I realized I an in my first big fight…it was amazing.

Do you have a good knot for tying braid together, my mono was not tight enough on my real and it cut into my backing so the braid is damaged at 2 places….school fees

This was a big blessing and way more than we hoped for, and now we are hooked and looking for the bronzies

Not a bad way to start of Sandgrain. Some buss rags you okes caught. Well done it and thanks for an awesome report.

This is what I use and have been deep into the braid a few times on a reel with 2 of these joins in it
