Good day guys.

I trust you are doing well in this beautiful morning.
Its that time of the year again where cob schools are headed our way. As some of you know, certain areas of late has been thick with cob. Mostly undersize where I have been. Yesterday I headed out to a spot and there were lots of guys around. I wont name the spot. Whats important to note is that many undersize species are being taken. I know that this topic always comes up. But its just reminder time to look around and be aware. Im not saying that anyone her must police this behavior but just show better and throw the undersize back. If someone asks why you throwing it back, educate them and explain. Maybe you can change or affect the thinking of one person and perhaps make a small difference.

This season looks to be a great one with all the early signs. Good luck.

I was with my buddy thats in the navy. And he looked on in disgust. The guys there were rather rowdy so I told him not to get involved. He caught 3 undersize cob and those guys got so upset when he released them. I did the same and later one of them also released the undersize catch so maybe it got to his conscience.

WX was really terrible this weekend and surprising that there was fish coming out. Maybe this illustrates that the run has begun and fish are thick. So what happens when conditions are conducive and fish really come on the bite?:?

Yes if you lead by example, then they are forced to feel like uneducated fools and release but mostly out of shame due to their "angling". Either way..we are getting there, step by step.

When I was growing up, behaviour like this was normal. But the more you learn the less you keep your catch.

Or you just catch less.lol

Sounds about right then..It is after all ILLEGAL.

Now we must just get DAFF to fine/arrest the gang @ Monwa with the undersized kobs.


Stangely tho..Naaartjie nd kie is allowed to drive on the beach when trekking @ Macs Pav, Strandfontyn and Muiz..

They were standing on the tar with their rear wheels on the sand... DAFF is pathetic, make designated, secure parking for the okes, then they wouldn't need to "Drive on the beach"...

Correct, SAPS are supposed to give you safe parking... DAFF is supposed to make sure you don't drive on the beach.  Ben treknetters and other rights holders licenses give them access to drive on the beach.
