Hiya

Xerxes, the snoek fishing was actually quite poor at Robben Island. My commercial crew, fishing on a friends boat, only had 60 snoek on board. The best catches were made by the 4-6man commercial boats, who had up to 100 snoek on board. The real "dik" was at Saldahna though. My friends were getting up to 120snoek PER MAN, with the 10man commercial boats bringing in well over 1100 snoek per boat.........

Anycase, with our trip only three days away, i thought i'd let you guys salivate a bit more!:D:D Todays bounty, caught off my friends commercial vessel:

Thanks Binx for organising :D I've got a bag of white mussels that I can bring along if you guys want. Should I get a box of pilchard at the Engen that Miles mentioned as well or are we good for pilchard?

red bait can be usefull the you okes dnt need to go pull redbait.....
bandaid plasters(work better then finger lappies) is also reccommended if you fish with a handline and its big fish....

Will do Binx - I'll see if I can get hold of pilchard as well. I'm still deciding about bringing my Daiwa boatrod and SL50SH along or the spinning outfit I had at Blakes. I'm leaning more towards the spinning outfit :D

Dankie Expat. Die wind lyk dan maar beter vir Saterdag .Ons hou duim vas!

Guys, I've got some pilchards too and will see if i can get some chokka for us as well. Or as Miles suggested we could try get some early from the boat. Last time I was at Buffels bay on the ski there was plenty about.

I reckon a spinning outfit is the way too go. Light enough for the bottom stuff and also great if we encounter any shoals we may want to chuck a spoon at (being optermistic here..)

apparently there were plenty snoek at buffels on Tuesday, and throwing a spoon in the water resulted in an "ON" almost immediately, one thing to note is that the guy who told me this (who fishes competetively and commercially) said that on handlines he couldnt get 4 or 5 of the fish to the boat, they were just too big, and when he pulled harder the hook pulled thru the mouth of the snoek, he said he hasnt seen such big ones before :dban::dban::dban:

Maybe rods are a better idea then :breakd::breakd:
