I am coming down to the Cape at the end of June. I would like to try for some galjoen. I believe white mussels are the way to go for bait.

1. Where would one find them? (what area) I will be in Pinelands. Which is the closest beach?

2. How do you collect them? Spot them?????

Hi Gatiepie, for me the most productive areas around Cape Town to collect white mussel, are the tackle shops,lol. You're going to be kinda central so choices are gonna be Milnerton=>Melkbos stretch to jive and Falsebay areas where car security becomes more of an issue. Closer to the time PM me and I'll point you in the right direction

Easier to buy mate but if you really want to jive for them then check out the "soetwater gallie thread" it is all discussed there.
