Hey spearos

I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on diving spots in Plett, either from the shore or off a boat.

What species, fish abundance and weather needed for the spots?

Thanks Guys

Keurbooms is a good area and the reserve starts at the eastern side of natures valley.

Grootbank at keurbooms used to be a good place for Cracke, I dont know now.

Robberg is a no spearfishing reserve, but est towards Knysna, there are some good spots, but the sea has to be calm, because the diving is close to the side.

Thanks moggy! I will look into those spots. Do you have any specifics on entry points? Like co-ords or a satellite image?

Thanks!

GrootBank is still good for Cracker, Just one hell of a walk for a shore dive.

As moggy said, some nice spots at the Harkerville coastline and as he said you need a flat sea.

Becarefull if you shore dive towards the blinders infront of the B.I. Some big whites been spotted there recently.

When will you be coming up this way?

I dont know the shore dives, I only boat dived there in nationals.

You cannot launch a boat, through the Keurbooms river, with spearfishing gear on board, thanks to some naughty Natal boys in 91

 

[ph03n1xkny]

Yeah, but im sure you can launch from the Beach with Spearing Gear with No Hassle...Altough i havent heard of anybody having hassels launching from Keurbooms.

The Boland b team found some good fish in natures valley, during one national.

Do you gouys ever dive east from the heads, towards Knoetzie ?

 

[ph03n1xkny]

Will b coming down mid december with my boat. Quite excited! Would also b cool to get some co-ords of the reefs there. Did a charter there once and we caught quite a few nice reefies.

And ?

 

[ph03n1xkny]

and shoot some cracker, hottie, roman, gallies, occansionally a white steenie (I haven't shot one yet) etc. Most of the diving in that area is right against the side, but is dived by boat.

 

[MOGGY]

You must ask Hendry Reed for info, he is a friendly helpful guy and a very good spearo, but only fishes now, i think

 

[ph03n1xkny]

Henry is my mentor...Hardly ever in the water without him, he still dives like a machine, he has taught me alot when it comes to anything to do with the sea, both fishing and diving related.

I can honestly say that he is probably the best spearo i have ever met.
