This week at Strubens

After fishing in KZN, the past week felt a bit slow, but yielded two fooshies.

I regained my faith the place after a serious dry spell there.

Only problem I have is the insane amount of barbel and carp churning up the shallows and reed beds where I fish........

Ultra light is definitely the way at Strubens,  Loomis & Franklin rod and Daiwa 1000 reel will set you back around R500.
I have not missed a single bite since I started fishing this light and have landed 2kg + fish on it as well, so it is safe for the bigger fish too.

Good luck to those fishing this weekend! My the big ones roll!

I unfortunately just dont have the patience for struben anymore but i thought i could help out light tackle works well caught most of mine using light tackle there and dead ringers etc but the best result i had was using a spinner bait caught my struben pb with a spinner bait and also my last fish there :) anyway here is a pic of the fish and the spinner bait - and boy did that fish put up a fight it hit hard as well
