Jongensfontein

- Start date
I'm heading that way in a couple of hours for this weekend (Full Moon Spring Tide, Yeah!) and I can't wait anymore!
You'll be there over a Neap Tide which isn't really my favorite, but I'll choose a neap in Jongensfontein over a spring tide in Cape Town anyday...
You can fish right there in Jongens but I would suggest to take a walk along the coast so you can target less exploited waters in stead.
Coast Towards Stilbaai:
The first 900m or so you can drive along a gravel road presented with small sandy bays framed by rocky points. When you get to the parking lot by the boom you'll have to proceed on foot so pack light.
From here it is a 4km stretch of uninterrupted rock, some with some nice deep drop-offs and some where you can clearly see a shallow sandbank within casting distance.
This stretch is especially nice for scratching, but you get your Predators as well. In the middle between Jongens and Stilbaai is Masterstok Strand, beautiful little beach framed by two rocky points. Nice shallow sand bank in the middle and rip currents either side. Sometimes a nice deep channel also forms right up against your feet.
Coast towards Heuningnes Baai:
On the other side of Jongens is a long stretch of rocks that I've only been on once or twice targeting Gallies. Very nice structure for scratching.
Good luck and take plenty of pics of bait presentations, working water, fish, etc for the report!

Sharks and Cob I'll go around to Still bay side - place called Preekstoel. Lotsa action over the December past - high and low tide. In Jongensfontein to the righthand side past the tidal pool you'll get a gravel road (tar becomes gravel) - continue till the end you'll see a bay. Cast from high rocks on left hand side - BIG trains! Gallies from the rocks next to that same gravel road.
Elf - when you stand in front of the '3 Pikkewyne' shop looking at the sea - to your right you'll see the road make a bend - in that bend..place called 'paaltjie' you'll see it - early morning as in 04:30 to 05:30.
In Jongensfontein to the left hand side there is a little piece of sand - 'Sandstrand' - Elf, Cob, Sharks, but you need to know the place to know when the water is right. Drive further on until the road ends - walk about 100 meters and you'll see a high flat rock called 'Tafeltjie' - Elf and Cob. Further on along the rocks - gallies.

I stuck to Stilbaai but the weekend was way too short...
I tried the river on saturday, but the fish were biting very skelm, moved to preekstoel over high to try for a steenie, but the water was too strong on the sand plaatjies and I think the currents put the fish off the bite.
Sunday I put the boat on the river again and landed 3 grunters (45-50cm range) which I cleaned and put straight on the braai.
All in all a good weekend, but not really report worthy..

Just watch out, there are lots of baby kob in the area that can be mistaken for suitable livies if you don't look carefully.
They are probably no good to use as livies anyways since they give up and die pretty quick. When you catch them by accident and don't get them back to the water quick enough it's belly up...
