been hectic last couple of weeks and got a chance so took a drive to the beach.. first cast and bam pb dassie/kolstert/kolhol/blacktail.. not long after i left with this gale wind

be hard to beat this pb.. best of all not to far from home..caught before 1.00pm today..fella took me through every reef he could..dirty fighter and pound for pound super strong..thought he was gonna pull the rod from the rod stand..what a sight seeing that rod bend.

Nice catch... but very bony fish to eat.... I always throw them back...

 

[Phish]

Nothing like fresh pan fried kolstert ... yummy.

 

[i want fish]

Thats a buss black-tail! did you get him on the light stuff?

 

[flippy]

nope..that would of been something on the light tackle.bloody hell dude

bait was sand prawn
rod is a waft venom casting version 5-8oz
reel is a fathom 25n filled with 300yds spider wire braid and about 400 meters ultima tournament grey violet..nothing light in that lol still gave a proper rev

went out again today in this evil wind and got a spot and guys were returning from it with elf.. one was still alive and all caught on pilchard

i had chokka and bloodworm.. they had left after using up all their bait and nothing left for me..give it a whirl with ice white choke but nada..only wanted pilchard..aagh ya next time..will stock up on pillies in the week and sneak in a session or two.

That looks like good water for an elf, I'm sure a spoon would have been gobbled up. Out of interest, any idea how old that kolstert would be? 100g a year..

I used to eat loads of them but not too much anymore since I learned how slow they grow, there are lots of big ones like that around where I fish and they are in no danger of collapse anytime soon or in our lifetimes haha but interesting to me no doubt. They start breeding at a small size like freshwater tilapia that is why they never get fished out. Found to the Mediterranean as far as I know..and ja so yummy in a pan. Love to eat them..haha just haven't had one in a while.

 

[plugger]

2 years per100grm =20 years old ? Very nice fish,pound for pound or gram for gram a strong fighter. Execellant catch.
