Pps: does anyone know of how to get as close to the ledges as possible with a 4x4. I know driving on the beach is no longer allowed, but i saw on google earth it looks like there is a path that goes almost all the way to the ledges from mapelane chalets.

Please let me know as we would love to give the ledges a go again.

Thanks and tight lines

Eli, myself and my boet were there last year.In 5 days we didnt see 1 ed come out, not even shad in the bay area.

We fish mainy for eds and absolutely nothing. We tried live and dead mullet which is normally deadly, plus all the other normal baits. I wanted to try hand grenades eventually out of sheer frustration.

On a brighter note there were quite a few ineds around. Some big skates and a raggies were around but you had to graft for them. We were sliding whole chokka.We were fishing left of the camp sites.

My son also caught a beauty 1.5 kg perch in the estuary

Those ledges were the business back in the day when you could still 4 x 4 there. We klapped the pompano there. 8k walk to get there though. Best is to ask one of the wardens for the best route.

Kob, grunter, garrick are like hens teeth. Reckon that river mouth needs to open again

Kry vir jou 'n vlieer en vat jou lyn in vir haaie, ten minste is daar baie. Gaan kyk op mullerskitefishing.com

Moet nou nie lag nie, ek het laas 'n klomp 2 - 4 kg karpe gevries vir aas, as hulle ontdooi stink hulle tog alte lekker, kon net een keer een in kry maar is opgebreek, daar is massiewe haaie. Anton het su SA rekord raggie ook daar gevang.

Dis onwettig om op die strand te ry behalwe as jy betaal dan is dit nie meer onwettig nie.

Oppas vir rowers en hulle steel daar.

With 400-600mm rain forecast for this weekend, reckon the mouth will be open, + lots of debris on the beach

We got 5 big raggies and a grey there this time last year on Bonnie and Couta heads. Lots of small eds on the reef (Stumpie,Stonebream,Blacktail and Banded galjoen).Looking forward to your report back as we are going up for an extended Easter weekend.

Remember, you can buy a permit to drive on the beach. Its valid for 3hours before till 3hours after low tide. Its R250 if I recall
