A kwik tip , if I may...If you gonna try the sloepies on the beach again , depending on your outfit , try a slightly bigger and heavier spoon...say a 1,5 or even a 2oz....and go bottom , stop , bottom , stop.......GOOD LUCK!!

Look....if the kob are there , its pretty succesful...BUT...I dont gooi my spoons much over sand ...I concentrate more over the rocky gulleys and gutters...BUT...that being said ...YES/...rubbers and plastics(rappies) are gonna get you a better hit rate!!!...BUT...I choose to use metal....

Thanks Carl for posting this pic of my daughter (Andrea) first cobbie on spoon. A young boy I taught fishing this week caught a slightly bigger cobbie on the same Toby spoon at the same spot (Winkelspruit) on Thursday

My two daughters and the young man spinning at Winklespruit. No better way to teach kids fishing and casting!

..Brilliant Steenie!!!...Hell and that water looked good there!!!!

Steenie · « **Reply #14 on:** July 14, 2013, 09:31:37 PM »

Thank you! The water has been looking great for days at Winklespruit. But hours of spinning has not delivered any shad or garrick for me!

Steenie! Awesome time you had with the young ones!

..Forget the shad and leeries!!!...Hunt those kobbies!!!...That sloepie looks FANTASTIC out front!!!...Oh..and a tip..put single 6/0 short shanks on those toby's...easier to release the small kobbies!!!

Agreed - trebles are trouble!

This kobbie slukked a 8/0 short shank behind the gill plate and I pushed it gently back and up to release the barb and no probs....away he swam!!..BUT..had that been a treb...a bit more messy!!!

Steenie · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2013, 04:07:24 PM »

Thanks guys - I tried a lot of slow bumping over the bottom as well, but no more cobbies around. On the trebles, I agree fully and will take your advice on the short shank 6/0 hooks. It will ensure easier release of the fish, and make it safer for the kids as well. Those trebles are dangerous weapons in the hands of kids!!!
