Myself and two other fishing buddies were turned away from the iron ore harbour comp because we applied too late so we decided to run the boat down to that area instead and man, was i glad we did because when we anchored all i saw was a whole lot of guys catching diddley squat from the harbour wall!!! Meanwhile, we bagged a Kob +- 12Kg, 2 Bloukoppe and a St Joseph just out of casting range from the wall, and all on prawn nogal round about 8.00am. All went quiet and we moved off to Spreeuwalle where the action started again at about 11.30am. Hooked about 15 stump and released all but six and a Dassie. When we returned to the wall we saw most guys had left and all was quiet in that area. We then headed off to the island where everything was also quiet due to the cold water, so we headed off to the deep channel just off prawn flats where the water was warmer and hooked another 10 stump most of which we released. Apart from the rumor of a 10kg Elf caught in the dam i doubt whether anything significant was caught at the comp??

Sadly the guys caught very little fish down at the Ore, Luckly for me this was the one I had to miss. Fish came on the bite after 17H00 only and my buddy was thrown out almost fishing till dark !! LOL.

Packkies I have heard reports of a 6KG+ elf that was caught by the dam , the fish was NOT released even though its out of season but also not weighed in. Not sure why the fish was not released though. Like I've said I have heard about this and its not first hand info , I did hear it from more than one source though

Sparticus, i think the next comp in Nov is a better option as the water should be a little warmer and its also closer to neaps. I aim to be there again.
