Paddle ski offshore - Whatzup?

[Quin83]

The Raggie was a result of a fresh Snoek head been paddle out.. So Can still give credit to the paddle ski on the catch

  Awesome catches!! Would love to hear more about the Raggie. Must be a record.

Thanks Guys, No record PH  ... PB for me though... I had kept some fresh snoek heads to try target a bigg Jhonnie,rigged one up with couta wire i twisted together and paddled it out to the backline ( note only when conditions are right) u dont wana fall off doing that.. Was hoping for a BUll but instead was rewarded with a Rag bag..

Well done, again. I hope Walkerskiller read this. He wanted to catch a shark off a ski some time ago. So it can be done.!

Things have been very quiet here. Does anyone have any news of fish coming out around Durban? I know the couta and snoek are pretty scarce but sounds like there are a few YFT around. I'm hoping to get out there over the next few days, weather permitting. Is it worth trying for snoek? Any ideas/advice?

A guy on a ski got a bus YFT of 15-20kgs next to me on Saturday, fishing the area inside the barge up to Glenashley/La Lucia, I lost one which I think was around the same size or bigger - it nearly spooled me!!
Haven't tried for snoek proper this year but things have started picking up, quite a few were boated off peace cottage last week and most were decent size 4-6 kgs hopefully its better season than last year.

Sorry to hear that you lost your YFT. Did you hook it on live bait or lure?

I was actually fishing for the autumn couta that you get along that stretch so I was using wire that kinked (sh1t happens), was using a very small live shad.

Bad news about the lost fish and better luck next time, but thanks for the heads up on what is happening out there.

How small is very small?
