Hi all
I been trying for Snoek for a few seasons now and today got one and
Dropped two. Everything condition wise was perfect,however I could
Have started spinning ealier than I did.
I am so chuffed even if it was not huge.

Well done Fish-Hunter.
I've been trying for ages and still have not gotten a snoek.
Where did you get it?
Maybe we can hook up next time you go?
-
Well done nice fish :+ cred:

Hi Wimpy
I got it about 800m north of Winkel rocks,near Beach cabin. Next time I go I want to Umkomaas mouth north bank,they been getting them there on the kayaks in that dirty water.
I will have to just check the weather as the water must calm to allow them to come close in,alternatively Pipeline.
-
Great catch.
-
Thanks guys

Natal snoek on spoons only one way 80cm onde ondas white or silver 20lb braid stradic 5000 or whu and 7' shimano trevalla.Up the trebbles on the ondas with one size bigger like owner size 2 set your dragg on the reel very light otherwise the hook will tear out use an extremely fast retrieve if you get a hit reel even faster if you hook one play it until its tired before you boat it otherwise the hook will pull or it will break your leader use 40lb siglon flouro as leader if you use anything heavyer than mentioned above you will not get a strike from natal snoek they are extremely fast predators.

Fantastic catch Fish Hunter I think you have done what a lot of us were trying to do :+ cred:

Thanx again guys
My gear is made up of my 11'6" Poseidon HMG Ultra light spinning
Rod paired with Sustain 5000 loaded with 33lb Gator braid.
I use a 40lb leader of 800mm long joined to a 150mm long piece of
Toothproof no.3 wire which carries a 27kg rated snap clip.
I caught that Snoek on a number 2 CID Iron candy green glow.I am
Able to cast this spoon in the region of 130m.

Fast retrieve but that one I got on an
S bend in the mid break.
