Who said the kob has packed and left for the winter

[oomfaan]

I was looking for an excuse to test out my new paddle and when I heard that a kob came out from the side I was there. The paddle works like a bomb, thanks Steve CT. Must still get used to the different angle, but I had no problems in the wind or in the big swells tonight.

It was a bit late when I left, got to the water at about 6. The dropshot was quiet and I had a bait line out as well. As the sun set, I got a nice pickup on my bait line and I reeled the dropshot in and placed the rod in the rod holder. This gave the kob time to swallow the bait and I was vas. It gave a nice fight and ran towards the kelp 3 times before I could bring her in.

After that I only caught a pajame shark and decided to call it a day as it was getting cold. I'll definitely be back tomorrow.

DSM, could you please post the photo you took. Thanks. I think it is the biggest fish I've ever caught. David weighed it after I cleaned it and it was 2 kg.

[Marcell]

Die vis het net na sonsak gebyt op sardyn. Niks fancy nie. Halwe sardyn (stert gedeelte) op 'n 4/0 hoek met geen sinker. Naby bamboes gegooi.

 

[oomfaan]

Wag, nou staan ek regop.

 

[oomfaan]

Nog 'n prentjie, selfde vis.

Faan what is the wind and swell like for tomorrow

 

[oomfaan]

I don't know about tomorrow,we could give it a try in the afternoon, but it looks ok for Monday afternoon. Tuesday may still work, but it looks like howling north westerly.

 

[oomfaan]

Went out tonight at 6 and caught another 3.

Oomfaan,  waar het julle gisteraand gevang? Ek was in die vlei, het niks gekry, water was taamlik koud, en skoner as wat ek sou verkies!

 

[oomfaan]

Het 'n bietjie laat gedraai toe sommer by die slip in. Daar het 'n paar ouens op 'n rubber duck verby gekom van die vlei af met 'n paar mooi stompies aan boord. Na sononder het 'n ding my lyn afgebyt (sardyn aas). Ek vang met 'n 6 " staal strop. die lyn was bo die strop afgebyt. Ek het maar versigtig, stadig uitgekom, want ek weet nie of dit dalk die rob was wat daar rond gewswem het nie en of dit die ding was wat die rob 2 keer na mekaar uit die water laat spring het nie.
