Look , throwing spoon amongst the bricks is not for the feint hearted , also once you have worked out your spot and what size and weight spoon works it does get easier...I throw from half ounce spoons to max 2 ounce spoons...
Kob on spoon ...

Good day Folks , well this weekend was most interesting indeed...water colour , temp and tides were absolutely spot on , only thing niggling the back of my head was the barometer ,...it was dead dead steady , no movement at all and this i have learnt over the years , not conducive to hooking kobbie on spoon...
Saturday mornin I was at my spot 05h30 with a high tide at 09h02 ...boy oh boy did it look good...
First off i saw no Jonnies hanging around and then as I walked/waded through the shallows to get to my pinnacle , saw no bait fish to talk about , so was a bit disappointed , but the tide and water was still in my favour . and then as I got to the waters edge , I could see there was no fizz in the water....
I throw for about an hour and a half and then call it as i had to head off to work...
At around 15h00 I notice the wind still has not picked up and the baro had risen by 3 points , I decide to go down at 16h30 and get my dpot on the push...
Im about 20 minutes into the session and the shad come on ...THICK!!!...every second throw is a shad and the light is now getting to that late arvie kobbie after glow time...I have now hooked my umpteenth shad and have a short drinks break...
After about five minutes i am back in the mix , by now the fisherman that were to my left and right had packed up and mooched off....
As that light is just on the water I get my first SOLID enquiry...NOW . my toppie always said when you on with spoon and kob , start counting , I get to 5 , so thats roughly 5 seconds , kob off...
So , Ive worked through the shad and the kobbies are ready to do business!!....I have another two SOLD enqiries , also around 5 odd seconds and then off. as the dark arrives I smile and count my blessings and leave the kob idling...
Sunday arvie i am back at my spot and as that water gets that late arvie shimmer ONCE again , ....KOB ON!!!..this time I count to 11 , one head shake and off...
NOW..all the years i have been doing this , I have always womdered what makes the kobbies NOT commit at times like this...to date , no answer , BUT..I console myself with the fact that the barometer is this or that ...coz I firmly believe in the baromter for kob on spoon...
Sunday arvie i leave the kobbies idling once again and THIS morning I am back on the low tide as she turns , baro is dead dead at 1022hpk for the last 12 hours....As that water turns silver with the first light I get my first rattle , kobbies are ready for some breakfast...
4 throws later I am ON!!....my count gets to 8 and off....
At 06h45 I smile , count my blessings and once again leave the kobbies idling...
Kob can be very wary If condition are not 100 percent to their liking and will hunker down and not commit fully to the strike...
A most entertaining weekend ...
Stay tuned..

Good day Folks , well after this weekends run in with the kobbie that were non committal ,..I watched the conditions and knew that Monday and Tuesday mornings would be really good for an early AM session before work....
Monday morning dawned as perfect as ever , as I got out to my spot , i noticed quite a bit of bait fish in the shallows and then one lone Jonnie diving out front...I started my session in the dark and as the first crack of light appeared I got a fairly gentle enquiry and the next 45 minutes it was dead quiet...I had my coffee , smiled and knew the kobbies were around and still not committing , ...
During the day I watched the wind and barometer , very steady and dead...
When I knocked off from work and git home i saw the baro had dropped 5 points as a small coastal low was forming between two high pressures...
I got uo early again this morning and the baro had risen 7 points , ..I was pleased , MOVEMENT!!!
Im down at my spot 06h00 with a low at 06h52...Im at my high tide spot and after about 5 throws , I quickly run out of water...I move over to my low tide spot and there i see the water is working nicel...
The east wind the day before had done a slight job on the sea and it was now a lemon twist colour ....which , actually i dont mind at all...
I have two throws with my DS spoon and quickly realise , need a spoon that handles the churning water ...I clip on my Fugly and i know she is a real B....H to throw and after about the third throw i get a tap ...shad??...weed??..or kobbie???...two throws later I go heavy on the stim and I know this is a juvenile kob , they are so predictable in their take of a spoon....I land the kobbie and the next three throws produce another three juvvies...
In the pic is the 4th one and released them as i made way home and leaving the kobbies on the bite!!!
The baro movement in the last 12 hours tide period proved the committment and I firmly believe , had i stayed as the sun cleared the horizon , I wouldve been into the high school of kobbies...
Keep the Faith and stay SOLID...

Mornings Folks , after a good weeks spinning and hunting the kobbies this weekend turned out a bit iffy....I always look for what ifs and why the kobbies were not on line ...well , this weekend I put it down to very warm inshore water conditions , kob are pretty sluggish in warm water and at an average of 23 the whole weekend the kobbies were in slow mode...
As to the barometer , it too was a tad too dead and steady , the bright moon tides were spot on and the shad were on line the whole weekend 24/7...
Sooo...we now look to the weekend ahead and wait n watch as the winter systems come into play....
stay tuned...

Good day Folks , had an early AM session yesterday on the public holiday ...tides were spot on , water colour was good and I think the temp was too warm for kobbies...AND a bit frustrating as i lost one of my Fugly spoons , ...at my low tide spot i could not get the Fugly to work properly and got brave and let it sink a bit more than usual...it is said , fortune favours the brave....well , not today Josephine...
I never like losing tin and it always feels as if if Ive lost a soldier...
we reset , re tie and move onto the next session....
The Jiggy is locked n loaded and the 11f Sylaflex c.1978 , is all set to go , I may just give this retro outfit a run this weekend as its going to be an iffy fishing weekend...
Stay tuned...
