[Kenty]

Mornings East Coasters...well , I would suggest you go fish this AM as of later today the east will start to puff and we in for some SERIOUS east wind this weekend , bar a miracle....That being said the water is looking damn nice as weve come off three days west and the temp is around the 18 mark with good colour water...Im sure the raggie hunters will be licking their lips at the prospect of the east cooling the water somewhat and also bring some "nasty" colour to it...
There are not too many spots on the Jikeleza that will fish a strong east in comfort...Two places come to mind ...a small bay just to the right of Kwelerga Village.....the right hand side of the Cintsa Tidal pool ...These two can fish in fair comfort in a big east...BUT...Ive never felt comfortable in a big east at best...
You have a high tomorrow AM at 08h00 and on Sunday at 09h30...
Those of you who like the rivers , might be a better option this weekend although If one gets an early start tomorrow AM you might just get in an hour or two before the east really comes through...
Well , Folks , there you have it......always remember , no line in the water equals no chance at a bite!!!
Remember please pick up the litter!!!
TIGHT LINES and JUST GO FISH!!!

Kenty,

Yeah, you might get some nice bluefish at the pool, maybe a cracker too in those conditions. I have caught a few there, my grandpa is caretaker/manager of the resort. Might even be a black or 2 around if you lucky...

..Well , mornings Folks...the beastly eastly never really appeared on Saturday and only really started puffing from Sunday lunch time onwards....Two blacks came out at Gleneden and I heard of two rather large shad...No kob ,,,and I also got news of a piggie....so we sit tight for the coming weekend and its spring again...

 

[Kenty]

....Mornings East Coasters,,,well ..were in for a wettish weekend and a chillsome one....The water is a nice colour and the temp on the chilly side at 17....the barometer is sitting at 1029hpk and that means we in for an east ...BUT...do not get caught out as last weekend that east only came through in the afternoon , so , watch the wind and I still say that tomorrow AM early is an opportunity for a fish...
Your tides for tomorrow are low at 09h00 and on Sunday at 09h45...Please be alert as we are on a dark moon spring and be aware of those surges...swell will be southly at around 5 to 6 foot ...Remember on a darkmoon spring the sea drains fairly quickly as it approaches dead low...
Spots for this weekend ...Cintsa point comes to mind and Cefane to the left IF you get there early enough...Its now starting light at 05h15 and that will give you at least 4 hours to low....although Cefane does fish a pushing tide very well....Glen Navar and Muir are also options on this tide and predicted wind....One could also try the Bulugha side as the east will be behind you as you throw towards Glen Gariff ...BUT...mind that side ast the sea can catch you out as it surges....
It will be mostly overcast this weekend with clearing skies from Sunday arvie onwards...some rain predicted BUT the wind is the issue....note that high pressure hanging over our coast and those inland lows will drop the pressure sharply on Sunday , Sooo...Saturday is the day...
Lets hope some good catches are made this weekend Folks as its been a bit lean the last few weekends...
Good luck and remember to pick up the litter!!!
TIGHT LINES and JUST GO FISH!!!!

..Mornings Folks , had a good session with the kobbies this AM....hitting my slim shady spoon quite hard 5m off the ledge....all around the 60cm mark....all in the top lip...

...In the top lip...

...Mornings Folks...well last night I noticed the baro on the rise again and was hoping and praying that the east would be dead by the early AM....with a 05h00 wake up ,,,the east was GONE!!!...First good sign....made my way down to my local "secret" spot and in the pre dawn darkness noticed no less than 4 Jonnies fishing in my strke zone!!!...VERY GOOD sign number two and then the water was working very nicely with very little sidewash OR surge.....
Straight into the first 20 casts and then moved onto the next pinnacle...first cast ...two turns into the retrieve and the lightest of TAPS ...I decide to reel in very quickly and get the next cast onto that same line......two turns ....BOOM!!!...I can feel Im onto a decent fish.....some drag ....and then a few moments later landed a very nice 85cm kobbie....
After a kwik coffee....I was back at it and four throws later into and even better fish...this boykie really gave me the gears and as I get him over the last 1m away ledge ....he gives one last shake and throws the 6/0 short shank.....VERY good fight!!!...
A very very good mornings spinning....once again ...when that barometer is in the right pressure range the kobbies present themselves....

Well done Kenty!
What tackle do you use there when throwing those spoons? What size do use on that tackle, and lastly do you use any paddle tails?
Thanks

 

[Kenty]

..Thanks for the kind words Gents.....and Toobster I use a SL30 with .45 Suffix line and a 10,5f KF Stimulator rod.....I throw from half ounce to max 2,5oz spoons....and I dont throw anything else but spoons...

 

[Fishbait]

Nice going there Kenty, I really wished we could catch our Kobs in False Bay this way.

 

[Dillon]

Well done and congrats Kenty! Hard work and persistence pays off hey lol..

[Kenty]

..Thanks FB....ja..Im sure you could....I spose one would just have to work the areas and find suitable spots....it takes time to work out areas ...BUT...when you have and you start catching ...its well worth the reward....
