My mate Gary (novice angler) has always expressed the wish to catch a big shark.This past Saturday I really wanted to go and wet a line so decided it would be a good idea to take him along to Macassir .We got to the water at about 08h00 and I put in a Yellowtail head on the slide for him.I was still busy tackling up when I saw him running down to the rod......Vas!!.
Anyway in the next hour or so Gary discovered the pleasure (and pain) of fighting a decent Bronzy.That was the end of my angling until he got his fish out which we accomplished without gaffing and took then took a few pics.Its a good feeling to see someone catch their first decent fish and share their excitement.
Later on we moved to Strandfonteinn and I was lucky enough to get a nice Kob for the pan.
What was interesting to me was the different colour of the water between Macs and Strands.Macassir was brownish and had a lot of weed.Also a lot of current.Strands was clearer with nice colour in places and less current.I must say that at this stage,I`m never sure which is best and tend to rely in instinct.Would we interested in any comments on this.
