Guys please help me with this one, I am going to the witsand skins and I would really appreciate it if u guys would let me know where the best spots are and what baits for them and of course the species u will find there. And if u do know where a very good spot for lekker big kabeljou is please let me know where it is and the best bait.

Cheers and style Lynne for the next of your trips.

David.

You just asked in one question what took some people many years to figure out... If you get a fruitful reply you are very lucky.

Start by searching this site for "witsand" (Budget a lot of time for this). Once you have the species and bait in the area, google them further. Then go to Google Earth and look at the area, slowly and carefully. Then go out and pattern the area with a rod and reel, keep a journal and take plenty of photos...

Good Luck, and post reports!

Flippie and others has posted loads and loads of info on Witsand before. Just search for Witsand and start reading.

I think you would get a much more honest reply after the skins. Ask again after the skins

 

[david 2107]

Hahaha lol that right there is true, have any of u fished or have info about puntjie near/in vermaaklikheid ?

 

[PIRATEofSTRUISBAAI]

Now that's a area that I'm also keen to explore. Drove on dirt road till we reached the little area which I think was vermaaklikheid, but then turned around as I wasn't sure if I knew where I was going.Saw plenty more dirt road in the distance
I'm interested in the little river. When weather is more stable I want to go explore the area.

 

[david 2107]

Now that's why I asked I have no idea of the place and the Sunday after the skins a guy is taking my pa and I out on the boat there but if the conditions allow it to happen and if the sea ain't looking good we hitting the breede riviera for some lekker kabeljou, any body got advice for kob from the boat?

 

[PIRATEofSTRUISBAAI]

Best is to do like Stripie says and do the search. There are maps and lots of info on the river from the local pros.

 

[week-fish]

The breede river is in full flood!so fish to be caught there,and I think the sea fishing is gonna be a bit on the slow side too with all that fresh water that's coming down. and puntjie is private propperty,you need to be invited there by one of the land oweners.no public access.

Boat fishing around puntjie is good for cob and reef fish,fresh sardine and chokka,best baits!

 

[PIRATEofSTRUISBAAI]

So how would one get to the river of duiwenhoks?

 

[sparky2009]

turn right at the intersection

 

[PIRATEofSTRUISBAAI]

Thank you sparky. Looks a bit dark, but will try edit it.

 

[david 2107]

@week-fish would one be able to target both mussel cracker species on the boat near and around puntjie?

 

[week-fish]

You can target black mussel cracker on the deeper reefs,but not white mussel cracker,they prefer shallow working waters close to shore. I don't know if launching threw the duiwenhoks river is such a good idea!stick to witsands,they have good slips and the mouth isn't that bad.
