We planned a overnight in Struisbaai for this weekend past ,Chuck, Murphy ,BigBen and Myself left Cape Town at 19:30 and got to Bredasdorp at around 22:00 , first stop was at John's house to hand over the donations that was given to him, a lekker cup of moer coffee and a chat and by 23:00 we were on our way to Struisbaai. First stop was the harbour wall to check for any activity as reports was that the elf run happened the night before,pull up to the harbour and , my gosh, seems like the whole western cape was packed on that harbour ! jy sien net CA , CY , CF , CEY number plates en net floats,glow sticks en heel sardyn wat gegooi word !
Chuck say nooit,he’s not standing here ,as there’s a mix of locals in-between , and there Benna backs him and off we go to Spookdraai in search for any family relatives of the Kob he caught the week prior! Get to the spot and I first light up a smoke and sit back to watch 3 guys fall over their feet to get tackled up. Chuck first out of the blocks followed by Benna then Murphy , Im taking my time on this one and the manne coming up to the bakkie to re-bait ! Some activity going on in the water and Benna hooks the first victim of the pecker assault , a mooi 35cm Barbel that really put up a great fight against a BM G3 but lost the fight ! must have been the Seagrand line he was using that won the tussle in a foul area.
After an hour , dood, nothing biting ,a odd peck by a Barbie doll gave us a false hope that the kobbies were around ,by this time we used all bait in our armoury to no avail, then I get a gedagte to put a glowstick on my float , any blerrie thing can bite now , I will even welcome a shark of any sorts, just not a travy skaamie , hate those critters ! Gooi in , ag no man, overrun ,take it out and wind up excess line taking the slack out and out of nowhere , Tap Tap ,lift tip, Tap Tap ,Vas …..Hoya ,Isja ,the words coming out of my mouth…….then the most dreaded feeling .moerse headshakes and a big up yours from the fish…..OFF . Dammit ……..the swear words that came out would make both bevid and Stu proud!!
Bugger this, 3:30am comes and I tell the troops come we go park off at struis harbour and wait for daybreak! Pull up there...Empty ….wtf?? Wind starting to howl so we get some shut eye…ok …they got some shut eye as I had a crater left in my mouth from having my tooth evicted, it was now starting to pain.get out of the bakkie to have a smoke! Damn, but these 3 ouens are having a tree saaging compo in the bakkie ! Blerrie eggs! Dawn fast approaching so I pull out the dropshot as im gonna go look for a verdwaalde elf or even a kobbie
Off I go to the wall followed by murphy who was also woken by the tree saaging compo, The sun starts sticking its head out under the horizon and the type writers starts stripping bait! Chuck comes strolling on the wall, spot my droppie, grabs it, rigs bait and throws in seaside! What happen next was just priceless , that bait lands and chuck gets a solid pick up and strikes……a solid hook up and the fight begins …..Airborne ……bwaahahaa ……..fight lasted about 2 minutes when the jetty became a landing striop for the seagull that was hooked, a Brave Murphy decides to release the gull as he was a Birdman before!
