Caught this Kob and Elf at the Fridge about two months ago. Only got my USB cable back now from the knuckle head that lent it. Time was about 19H00 just after sunset on the drop tide. Water had good rolling action with little or no current or backwash. Temperature was around 17°C, a bit on the cold side but the lack of visibility made up for that. I found that on the False Bay coast, the fish are more prone to bait in murky water than in clear water.
The Elf measured at 45cm and the Kob was 162cm. Bait was plain sardine fillet, no wrap! Trace was 1,2 metre long 17Kg Maxima with a 4,0 Mustad stainless steel short shank with a Bandit short steel trace. I used the round cylindrical foam floats that come pre-cut in 50 - 60mm lengths.
The rod was my 14 foot purglas Titan from Suburban tackle and the reel was my trusty Daiwa SL50H Sealine. Line was 15 Kg 0,45mm Purlin High abrasian mono.
