No probs guys
These are just a few that work.

@ Joker
Don't you guys throw some lures at the cobs there. I've had luck in the wilderness and mosselbay area as well

Thanks for sharing Spin, those lures are well used.

@Jakes, well done again, the hours and loooooong walks are paying off.

@Vades, well looks like we should call you "Evades"
...But that's fishing, you'll get that 20kg+ whopper soon, I just know it!

....And in other tackle related news, a certain tackle shop in the PE harbour area is selling 15/30's on special for R599.

NOW that's a bargain!

The goldfish in the 3 and 4inch does well in the rivers , but I dont see why not. All colours work on the day, its all about contrast ans what the fish are eating in the area.

Yeah, they are still waiting for stock.

But for those who dont no what we are talking about, the above mentioned shop is selling a surf spinning combo of note:

Shimano Aerocast (8/10) + Stradic (4000/5000)+ Sufix 832 Braid for R2999

Thats a saving of over R1000!

Thats very nice prices hey, was blown away with the prices of the new sustains at Alcocks for R2000 a pop, also nice to know they've got a solid backup service on-site.

Spin, with the Clone lures, do you attach a treble on the middle ring or only fish it as one buys it with the treble at the back ?

hi Karlr. That one had a treble on it but I took it off to put onto a spoon as I bent the hooks that was on the spoon.
You don't need the belly hook on it at all. The belly hook was designed for the floating ones as stick baits. But for cob, elf and other game fish where you work it under the water surface the middle hook is better left off the lure.

dankie Spin. That makes sense. I really enjoy the Clones, and they cast a mile. Hopes the weather's ok for this coming weekend.

Not that I am aware of, Spin.

I know the guys spin for Elf and Leeries out in Strand and surrounds.

Mmm. I know a certain Witbank store sells the Stradic 5000 FJ for R1425. What's the price of the Shimmie Aerocast?

Joker I don't see why not.

I'm waiting for those cob here then I'm gonna make lots of effort for them too.
They are around right now and shallow too, 1 nice cob coming out per night around Strand, same spot we met, and within casting distance with a small rod.
It's just not great weather to be wet the whole time at night, cos you do still have to make a little bit of effort on the pushing tide.
Blakes you can stay nice and dry, saw very nice cob there lately too, once in a blue moon though. There the hole isn't very far at all, and that's also exactly where you'll fish for the elf and leerie, so you're bound to hook up with a cob sometime.
Finally, I heard some reef hopping will pay dividends in summer too, short casts for cobbies and whatnot.

Spring is around the corner and summer right behind it, I'll be leaving the big rod in the boot more often and spinning like a madman. So join me sometime, maybe we end up with a WC R&S lure fishing thread :hyst:

Only crap maybe is the cold water, we don't want to chase them and they don't want to chase lures.
So maybe a slow worked spoon on the bank, I see they double them up in the EC with 1 hook and split ring for that click, and work it slowly on the bank. And McCarthys on lead heads. These might work better than some faster actions, will have to experiment.
