Thats no old fishermans tale."varklillies" = kob. lolTOE 007 wrote:That's the first sign or should I say nature giving us permission to start hunting cob !yes guys the Kob has made an apperance once again at Strandfontein !!
Some of the OLD locals have always told us when the varkore flowers then the kob are around , and theres plenty of varkore .

The numbers we can do, but who wil drop and pick us up? think we must look into a shuttle service, we can call it the bird sanctuary and swartklip shutttle service.i"ll make up the "numbers" just say when and where! i have not landed a cob in the surf yet. seriously

Drove on Baden Powell this afternoon 15h00, the water looked good, there were 4 vehicles parked at bird sanctuary, wonder what the guys were targetting, gallie or kob or perhaps steenbras or belman? would love to fish that area again but only in numbers and with someone dropping us off.
i'm sure we can make a plan! i'm getting all excited now.lushwill wrote:The numbers we can do, but who wil drop and pick us up? think we must look into a shuttle service, we can call it the bird sanctuary and swartklip shutttle service.i"ll make up the "numbers" just say when and where! i have not landed a cob in the surf yet. seriously![]()

Hi Alwyn ! Was there perhaps a red Uno parked there as well? I know it would be a bit difficult to see the cars, driving at 100km/h !! LOL ! The guys are targeting Steenie down there... Last year we walked from Mnandi to Bird sanctuary! What a way to explore that "virgin" part of the coast ! We fished every hole we came across ! No pun intended ! LOL ! Some nice Cob and in-eds came out...Drove on Baden Powell this afternoon 15h00, the water looked good, there were 4 vehicles parked at bird sanctuary, wonder what the guys were targetting, gallie or kob or perhaps steenbras or belman? would love to fish that area again but only in numbers and with someone dropping us off.
