I took my son to the beach at Brenton the other day and saw these nice looking formations. I thought they looked good for spinning for Leeries at high tide. I told Myburg at my local tackle shop about my plans and he suggested that I should take some Pilchard with me and try for Sand Sharks. I have been blanking this whole December holiday and would rather catch a cold than blank again! I changed my target species to Sandies and went there this afternoon. The tide was pushing and the water looked awesome.
I walked about 500m away from the bikini cladded distractions
I fished with my Daiwa SL30 loaded with 9.1kg Ultima Power Plus mono and my Exage 110H rod. I baited a 4/0 hook with a nice Pilchard belly and on my second cast I got a small Sandy of 42cm and then another of 60cm. I then upped my hook size to a 5/0 and a bigger bait and managed to land a Sandy of 89cm. After that it was time to go home. I will definitely be back tomorrow afternoon to get more of the action. Like Myburg said: "you never know when a nice Kob will pick up your bait"!
Here is a view of the beach from the parking area and the biggest Sandy. My homemade UA card is 7cm long to give you an idea of the size of the fish.
