This is a prayer well versed and offerred by more than are willing to admit to at the moment.

Vasbyt, I do not feel that we are there just yet. 

You WILL come right.
 
howsit it depends where you are fishing and when.

i often catch in the warmer months and catching cob for me is always better at night but there is always a chance at night. they will take pretty much any bait in that is native to the area but what usually works best for me is using a live mullet or small fish.

this is what works for me i hope it helps

Thought for the week

“We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are”. This cannot be truer when you are running an amateur organization. Persistence is what makes us successful or not!

Hang in there gentz.....the last fish i caught was in May! Itz enuf 2 piss me off, but it'll come around.....we just got 2 keep at it!

@ steven p, you are still lucky as you have caught a fish already. i started fishing about a year ago and have only caught a pajama shark.....so ja, 1 "fish" in a year now imagine my frustration but i know my time will come and will not give up.
There are plenty kob out there with our names on

Dont worry steven p. Soon the cob will be plentiful in Falsebay. There are pockets out there.

Best advice would be to go and look for the best spots and keep moving. If one spot does not produce, move on to the next.

MY OWN EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT IF IN THE EVENING YOU HAD A SHAD RUN....GO THE NEXT MORNING TO THE SAME SPOT AND FISH WITH A SHAD FILLET AND U'R ALMOST SHURE TO LAND KOB.I HCAUGHT MOAT OF MY KOB IN THE EVENING WHEN THE ELF GOES OF THE BITE....

i would stick with using max 3/0 when using prawn or bloodworm.

when doing so u have a chance of getting a nice BRAS as well. 5/0 up to 9/0 would illeminate this option.....
