Hi All,
I am in the midst of setting up a fishing blog/post for all freshwater and saltwater fisherman.
My main aim is to explore fishing locations in South Africa and upload photos.
I am hoping we can all work together and ensure these locations are looked after and not over fished.
I will be updating this blog and changing the layout during the course of the week.
Your trusty fisherman,
Stu
It will be grate to see what people have to say about our fishing waters and what has been going on. Some dams has been upgraded but only in a way that the water won't evaporate or dam walls braking. Facilities is still a problem, but with back yard dwellers around I suppose there isn't much they can do to facilitate around dams with water taps and enough benches
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. We all need to work together and see how we can improve our fishing standard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the weather dude
ReplyDeleteHi guys i think this is a great idea and would you guys mind if i post spearfishing stuff aswell? Keep it up and i'm sure it will be a big hit with other anglers. The tides and weather is a great touch.
ReplyDeletethx for giving us a place to put our ideas on paper

Please do Jacques,
ReplyDeleteNeed all the pics and info we can get.
Spread the word
I will do so thx for the come back
ReplyDeleteIve got some info on where the cob is comming out at the moment in gordonsbay aswell as some galjoen ,stumpnose,steenbras and wildeperd.
ReplyDeleteHere are the locations:
1: ou mans gat that is close to ocean view hotel just to the left= cob
2: infront of blakes hotel from the reef = cob,stumpnose,steenbras,galjoen
3: toringtjies next to harmoney park what the people call lovers lane on the reef = all of the above
4: the down pyp opposite pick & pay in gbay from the reef = all of the above mentioned fish
5: harbour island by the shop at the light pole = galjoen
6: harbour island by the point at the green flashing light on the inside of the harbour = steenbras
7: harbour island by the point on the outside towards the red flashing light = cob,stumpnose
8: at gordons bay old harbour right at the point = cob and if you are into sharks and stingrays they also come out there
9: last but not least monwabisi beach in the bay where the people swim =bellman
9.1: monwabisi beach by the big break water = cob,wilde perd,stumpnose and galjoen
9.2: monwabisi beach small breakwater = cob and galjoen
9.3: monwabisi beach all along the coast right up to macassar beach = cob,steenbras,galjoen,stumpnose and bellman
Now the best bait that i would recommend for galjoen is not red bait but pink prawn. this bait also works very well for stumpnose, wildeperd,steenbras and bellman.
The other baits that work well for galjoen,bellman,stumpnose and wildeperd is worm. Now the best one that i would recommend is wonder worm the other aloso work well like moonshine and coral worm.
The other baits that are around also work but i have not had much success with them like white mussel.
I hope that the info that i have supplied so far will be of some help.
Please tel me how i can upload some pics cos ive got alot
Thanks for the info Jacques, is there a place close by G Bay where a person can buy the bait?
ReplyDeleteYes ther are a few places to buy bait and they all sit on faure marine drive here they are...
ReplyDelete1: This shop is on faure marine drive strand and you cant miss it its painted in large colourfull lettering and they also sell tackle its right next to pick a cheapy car dealership
2: The next shop is in habour island and they also some tackle
3: The last one is in gordons bay and it is close to where faure marine drive froks by the bp garage on the right hand side of the road next to a spots pub. They sell more tackle than the rest and of better quality also theyer bait is of a beter quality but a little more expencive
Unfortunately the prawn and worm bait you have to pump or dig out yourself
ReplyDeleteThanks for that will look for those places, if everything goes well i would like to go on a barbel mission this Friday, if any success i will post some pics, you in stew?
ReplyDeleteHi Jacques
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the info, can't wait for the weather to get a bit more warmer. I think you, Ettiene and I should do a salt water mission then.
Hi Ettiene,
Barbel mission sounds like a good idea. I'll see if I can get some worms so we can obtain some small fish.
