So talk has been going on all week about the wind finally turning NW on Saturday so the discussion all week was do we go friday nite or saturday afternoon or both. Now I'm jusss of blanking al ready and my kind is rolling me cause she saying all I wanna do is fish fish fish. lol. So even though I wanna fish all wknd seems like I can chose one day only.. sue ek most ma carefully choose.. So I decide saturday afternoon.
I leave work on Friday - hop on my bike and skier through the spot cause I hear Timer, Maru and Jz is there already. I get there at 5pm and witness a 50cm cob and a moerse bronze come out. Lam another hour and check nah, its a bit breezy and vokkol happening. I leave and 30 mins later I get a text saying Timer just caught a 5kg and lost a moerse one cause maru lifted the trace as the fish came in and he shook himself loose. Apparently they tried to dive in maar hy was weg.
So the decision was made to go an hour before the next hight tide which was gonna be around 5am the saturday morning.
2:30 am alarm goes off.. everythings in the car already, and I skier through to fetch may - I see 13 missed calls - done was op silent and I call may.. he skelling saying you said 2am and i already sulked 2 sleeping tablets. I wys him yay its 45 mins later and hight tide only at 5am.. We shoot through to wynberg and get JZ and maru. They fokken drawing and I wys them me and may will get them at beach at the spot.
We driving baden powellll and see timers bakkie and pull over.. hulle skreee nabbboo is hire.. lol .. The beach is vrek busy with about 3 boetas on the left and and 4 on the right of our crew.. the Fire is going lekker and KK (kabeljou Koning boetie) is chilling and watching the mense fish from the fire. I wy him... you not fishing??? As Im busy rigging up I ask Fluffy and Timer - niks maakie - they wys me jus sharks and baare and Im thinking fokkk neeeee man.. Is it gonna be so a night again. Anyway, I realize that we not actually on our spot and ask timer them why we fishing here??? He wys naaahhh our spot if full but Doring and Noer is there.
I rig up a lekker blood worm on a 5-0 and cast him lekker deep. Druk the rod in the pension pipe and walk to fire where everyone is lamming.. after 5mins we hear ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and they shout naboooo its you stok, hy's an papa, bring him in. Im reeling and can feel its kakkk heavy coming in slowly and I feel that head shakes and wys may - this is my dbl figure kob. now everyone is shouting at me do this do that, walk back walk forward, So I walk forward and the focken fish comes off .. yussissss... nou is ek befok... arms still trembling I wys them Im gonna tai ea walk to Doring and Noer. Get to them and they wys vokkol, just one baar.... I wys them to come lam by us as we got a fire and its going lekker that side. after so 10 mins I go back and during take a march with me.
After a few mins Fluffy's reel starts singing, fish run across all our lines and is running fluffy a few times. Slowly but surely he work the fish in and its a oerse fat joe, 1,1m - 13,2 kgs.. It took 3 of us to pull the fish in cause there was a rift the fish was lying in.. Anyway we get it out and now we all kak stoked... especially me. This is the biggest Kob Ive ever witnessed come out.. I ask fluffy watter was and he wys me - vis my bru - net vis... As Im chatting maj's reel start screaming and Im checking - he kom a ding... he reels in a nice 5kg and now my mouth is watering.. wanner kom myne
Fluffy's reels start screaming again - moerse shark but came off right in front. got quite for so 15 mins and then another 5kg comes out to the left of us. Then on our right this bra pulls in a massive cob - easily 10kg on a coffee maaletjie and loses the fish right by his feet. Still vokkol for me.. I ask may what bait he used and he wys me chokka and vrot sardine. I wys him i got that on and Im laying for about 10 mins. Then Timer catches an elf and again Im thinking... fokkkk I'm gonna blank. Timer goo is his elf down and we soema decide we gonna slice it up for bait. Maj wys me your bait got vokkol flavor in anymore. So I cut alekker elf fillet and rig up again making the 5-0 lekker proud - timer wys me you gemes jy sny of my elf en dan vebruik jy nodal so a grout stuk.. I laugh and I go cast...Few sharks and noer also catches a Ray.
Lay for a bout 5 mins and ZZZZZZZZz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - I don't even look cause at this point Im thinking Im gonna blank again. Hulle skree naboooooo is you stok.. Fok I'm so fast by that stick.. take him out of the pipe.. the fish run a little and I strike him kakkkk hard, will mos sieke maak daai hak is vas,, At the same time KK goes vas with a share and our lines cross. the mense start screaming at me again wising me do this do that and I just think FOK julle.. ek staan door still en reel in... fluffy shouting reel him onto the sand nabboooooo... finally after a lekker fight I land my PB joe - 83cm 6,1kg... Yes I start screaming, shouting like a mal fransssssssss.... sorry but it was such an adrenalin rush and I was just soooooo happy...Kak proud and still shaking abietjie I rig up again and take another cast... things go a bietjie quiet and then the mense started rocking up and cast in front of us... Then we just decided.. thats enough for one session.
Thanks to all the manne who were there... it was an excellent trip and surely one I'll never forget. Local is lekker.
