Early Winter Trip to Port St Johns – Day 1

Early Winter Trip to Port St Johns – Day 1 Early Winter Trip to Port St Johns – Day 1 Early Winter Trip to Port St Johns – Day 1 Early Winter Trip to Port St Johns – Day 1

A few of my friends and I decided to drive through the night from Durban and we reached Port St Johns in the early hours of a very cold morning. Although we were excited to be there, we had to rest for a bit after the long overnight drive. Finally we decided to slide out some live bait which we had brought with us from Durban. About 10 minutes after our baits settled, my friends rod just takes off, and he was Fish On! The fish had us guessing a bit as it came close to the side and kept fighting up against the rocks. After a heart racing tussle which felt like forever until we could finally get an ID on the fish. It was a Black Mussel Cracker (aka Poensie)...

Catching Shad at Warners

A throwback to a few years back when myself and my son had a blast catching Shad at Warner's. My son had ideas of starting a YouTube channel, but abandoned it, after choosing fishing over being a cameraman. Great day out. Great Father Son Moment.

Masala Fish - Catch & Cook - North Pier Durban South Africa

The Crow in this edition sharpens his cooking skills. The infestation continues along the Durban stretch with millions of Wallies. We decided to make the most of it by sliding one out and cooking another.

163,19kg Bronze Whaler in Jeffreys Bay

An impressive catch by a very determined lady Joane Jo Groenewald. After tussling a big Bronzie for about 30mins on a nylon hook trace (targeting a kob or Garrick), the inevitable happened. We quickly changed over to shark traces, and then never had any action for another 5 hours!! Our patience got rewarded though. After a hectic 2 hour battle @jo_joane_ landed this massive Bronze Whaler shark, totally unaided (except for keeping her hydrated and focused) Well done!! GIRL POWER Fish safely released as always.

Garrick Live Bait Rig

When rigging a live shad or mullet, the following illustration demonstrates how it should be done. Note that you can use the same setup for a throw trace as well, with just replacing the Non-Return Slide with a normal power swivel. The second hook should be inserted just above the head of the fish, with the lead hook still dangling free. Thereafter insert the lead hook into the side of the fish just on it's side below the fins. Remember not to insert the lead hook too deep into the flesh, it should just pierce the skin. Another option is to place the lead hook just in front of the belly. You could use a single Treble hook, inserted just above the head.
