Thanks for the tips guys.
I went out 3 mornings. All 3 sessions were fished at Aston, off the "pier" near the Walskipper restruant.
First morning I started of with a 2" blue shad curly tail. Felt a few bumps and every time the curly tail was bitten off just behind the hook. Looked carefully into the water on the next cast and found the culprits, blaasoppies !
Changed to a more solid plastic and managed to land a baby elf ( +/- 200mm ).
Day 2 i started with the little green fish and soon landed a spoon that someone had lost, ( really thought I had a fish on
. ) Tied the spoon on and then caught someone's shad rig, complete with bung
. This I gave to a bloke who had the right tackle. His comment, not a bad day for you, at least R100 worth of tackle caught.
Day 3 and I tried something different. Tied the spoon on and then about 40cm above it a fly ( small 3" clouser ) on a dropper, the thinking being that I would be creating my own chase.
3rd cast and I landed a 380mm elf, on the fly
which was gladly taken off my hands by one of the R&S manne, who quickly returned it to the sea, albeit with a few additions.
The same
R&S guy landed a small skate earlier as well as a nice elf ( 500mm ).
An enjoyable holiday indeed.
