Keeping your Bait for longer - Sardine Run 2023

With the upcoming 2023 Sardine Run almost here, many of us would like to keep our Sardines for later use.

So for my first outing armed with this new setup I went down to Ushaka and joined Jerome Charles in targeting some summer fish. The morning proved unsuccessful but as the day wore on, we moved closer to Moyo's Pier. After a few throws and plenty niggling Shad Bites, I finally got the pull. It was a few nudges at first, and then pull and no return. A back breaking hour later I landed this beauty of a Thorntail Stingray of 154cm which converted to 74.15kgs.
