GALLIE SETUP
- Thread starter stinkmossel
- Start date
Dirk dink nie die verskil kom by die baklei van die vis nie,dit voel net vir my asof mens makliker die gallies gehak kry met die glasvesel stok, dink dit het te doen met die feit dat die glasvesel stok nie so vinnig reageer soos die grafiet nie, so dit gee die gallie meer kans om die aas te kou voor hy dit agter kom. Dis dieselfde rede hoekom ek met grafiet stokke begin vang het, want as mens die stok in die koker sit gaan die grafiet stok te stadig reageer en nie die vis self hak nie, waar die grafiet stok wat meer reaktief is, baie vinniger reageer en baie kere die vis sommer sal hak, voordat jy dit nog uit die koker kan lig.
Ja dit maak volkome sin. Jy praat nou egter van J hoeke en mono lyn. Met circles kap jy nie maar katrol slegs in, dis wat die braid/grafiet kombinasie so leker maak want nou weet jy presies wanneer daai vis aan is, gegewe ek het dit nog nie vervolmaak nie. Ek is van plan om een van my grafiet karp stokke om te bou na 'n gallie jagter, beste van beide!

Nice! Got a 40cm wildeperd two weeks ago on my light setup and I'm trying to force myself to fish more with this setup, conditions are just not always favourable. I think we should run a light tackle gallie comp whilst the others are busy with the alfa/bravo comp, there's just not anything els of size around exept the odd steenie and belman.
I have fished for Gallies exclusively for many years and have caught my fair share of them ! Mantis can vouch for that ! I use a 10ft Purglass executive 300/2 with a Daiwa sl30sh. I load it with .40 mainline and a .55 leader. Sinkers is 2 or 3 oz. i use 1/0 Daichi hooks, but any sharp hook will do! When I fish for Gallies in spots like Dappats gat where they need to be hoiste up, I'll use a 2/o hook. Amongst kelp and bricks I make my hooktrace(.55) about 35-40cm long and my sinker trace ( .40) about 3-5 cm long. Reason for this is that the sinker trace cannot swing around a piece of kelp and get stuck, also when it is short like that, the fish picks your sinker up the moment you hook it and it does not drag on rocky bottoms in shallow gullies where it can get stuck, resulting in a lost fish.

Some of my Galjoen statistics:
Smallest ever: approx 5cm
Biggest ever : 63 cm (Weighed less than 3kg)
heaviest weighed fish: 5.2kg ( caught 5 in 5 casts of which four weighed more than 5 kgs, smallest was 4.8 kgs)
Most Gallies in a day : 22 ( Pearly Beach).....caught not kept!
Second most in a day : 17 ( Strand reefs)....Caught not kept!
Most consecutive fish : (9 fish in 9 casts)....Caught not kept!
Caught barehanded: 4 fish weihing between 2.8 and 3.2kgs ( June 1979, still have the pic)

My setup is as follows:
Shimano Exage 110H
Abu Ambassador 8000C(after 25 years still going strong!)
.45 Ultima Black Ice
No Leader
.6 Maxima Marine Green Hook Snoot(length vary depending on conditions)
.35 Maxima Marine Green Sinker snoot(length also varies depending on conditions - Like it to be as short as possible though for the same reasons Olaf mentioned)
Hook - 1/0 or 2/0 Mustad Ultra Point Red or Black
Now I just need to get the buggers this year.

Now that is impressive, 4 gallies over 5kgs and 1 of 4,8 kgs in five casts, damm where have i gone wrong.But thats the thing of gallies its if the bigger ones sticck together, spoke to guy that spearfishes, he told me of a shoal he found at sea in Knysna, he shot the one closes to him, it weighed 5,9 kg, and as he says that was probably the smallest one in the shoal, he reckons there were fish of over 6,5kgs, question is why are the bigger ones so shy to bite.But then again they dont grow to those sizes by being stupid.

LIGHT TACKLE GALLIE CHALLENGE
ek dink enige stok van 6ft tot 12ft, ligte lyn tot 1o kg.
area is die hele suid afrika.
ons post n pic van ons gallies, met n mate, en dis vir catch and release of take home. min dinge soos n gebraaide gallie...
no minimum size required for the pic, just be sure to release all undersise fish.
WOULD BE INTERESTING TO NOTE LIGHT TACKLE CATCHES COMPARED TO NORMAL TACKLE.

Unfortunately most of those fish was caught before waterproof digital cameras were part of our fishing arsenal! Very few pics, I do however have a pic of the four Gallies caught with bare hands, as well as a pic of my son holding a 5kg + Gallie He was six months old at the time, now almost eleven and a keen gallie fisherman himself ! The 63cm Gallie was caught at Kwaaiwater hermanus on a cast of less than 5m. Basically I dipsticked the fish ! I will try to get the pics scanned or something to upload. no promises however.
