howz it jakes .....cape vidal offers a variety of rock /surf
>if u planning on tragetng
yor best bet is to fish early moring just at sunrise #dats da peaks tym for shad# you must fish straight infront of the campsite beach (mainbeach) or towards the right in the front bay where the ski boaters usually launch ...
>just infront of the campsites ,,,can be very productive ,,,,as there is a deep hole ,,,which wll be rewarding if targeting
on live bait
>night fishin the bays is quite slow ,,,,in which u can have fun catchin blacktails ,stumpnose ,pignose grunters etc on light tackle
>while walking towards the right ...towards the light house you wll pass a TRIG BEACON -4 (cant remember CLEARLY) this place is a lovly sandy beach where you can targert a variety of fish ........further south .....
if walk to the right towards the light house .....fishin off the ledges at the light house _ ONLY ON LOW TIDE _ u wll be rewarded wit catface rockod..stumpies..specked snapper..yellow belly rockod..cave bass...sea barbel..southern pompano en more ....
#dropshotting can be done in the front bay where u are likely to catch wave garrick en other species
#throwing silver spoons for shad in the mornin can also be rewarding
#throwing pluggs & poppers can be rewarding if targeting
^preferable baits for vidal are ...sardine ,chokka ,pink prawn ,makeral .occtapuss tentickels
^collective baits _require a permit_ sea lice .ghost crab.mussels.crayfish
all these baits work like a bomb ...for targting reef fish
*carry enough tackle while fishin on the ledges at da light house as you are prone to loosing alot of sinkers etc
*if u fishing at night u wll be lucky to be rewarded wit a leopard sighting at the lighthouse.....))))glowing red cat eyes (((( -im serious.. dont be scared ...just avoid goin too close to them
one major prblem at vidal are the monkeys....
keep tent /doors of cabins -LOCKED - AT ALL TIMES .....keep coolerbags/boxes closed and never leave car windows open or un attended
apart fom monkeys avoid feedin other animals such as the bucks,,gennets ,bushbabies ,,and meercats as they r also loosing there fear for humans
oooooo forgot ....
mission rocks ...another wll known area for reef fishin ....target species are blacktails,,stonebream etc ...
light tackle is a must ...small coffee grinder en small rod ,,,lots of fun ......
if u have good company and willin to hit da tek ,,,walk left of mission rocks to a place called bats cave ...xcellent fishin der ......
