Hi Guys. I am new to Blakes and need a little help please.
What tide does it work better on (both spinning for leerie and fishing for other fish with bait)
Is it better with or without wind?
What baits work what do you target? I know it can be good for shad and leerie, what else?

thanks in advance ::tight:

Hi, South East is good. or when the wind dies down also good. was never successful is south westerly winds. north west is better for Gallies (not open yet) and you might get wet from a drizzle too. check out Windguru strand on Friday afternoon and early Saterday morning. also makes the water warmer.

Kob is still on the bite. some times even on white mussel. also try prawn or prawn and worm combo for bellman close to shore. there should be a few hanging around but there best times are still to come like in a few month's time when there is really no wind and very little swell.

spinning for elf - very good call. Leries only make their appearance once in a wile.

Hey Phillip, you philistine...

How's things kicking? Fishing in Strand during January was a disaster. I landed one kob and a smoothy, and got beaten up by a wave losing my belt with bait and tackle.

Give me a shout when you are in the sorrounds.

Was a Blakes spinning Saturday morning, water was warm and a bit off colour. Tide seemed a bit low. Should I be wading out onto the rocks to get to deeper water?

blakes is according to me a high water spot but on the low you can go out onto the reefs for that deeper water and catch a few different species don't be surprised if something youre not expecting pics you up back there on your kob and elf baits

Jis Blaasop,

I feel like one out in this heat. :SSS LOL.

the weather looks perfect in strand this weekend. what's your take on the barrow meter dropping from 12 to 10 on Saturday? a bit low for fishing? i really would like to take a drive through.

Phillip, it seems the baro hovers round about 1012 on Saturday with very little wind. Personally I would prefer a bit of south easter before the weekend, but hey ho, what can you do?

For the rest, it's high tide around 5, so either you go early to places you can reach (Oumansgat, Verleebank, Platbankies) or wait until the pushing tide (depending on colour).

I will make a final call Saturday morning.
