..Good morning Folks....well we have had some rain and more is predicted from this arvie through to Sunday as the next front is about to hit us....The Nahoon , Gonubie and Kwelera rivers are flowing fairly swiftly ...BUT...no brown slick spotted as YET.....The west that is predicted for today through to Sunday early AM should keep the water fairly clean and the temp at the moment is around the 19 mark inshore...[/size]Swell and sea surge is of a minimum as of this AM ...BUT..please be on the alert as the front approaching could change all that. There is a change over of tides this weekend with a low at 03h00 on Sat and a low at 05h30 on Sunday.....So , those that like an early AM session will be fishing on a push and its a bright moon nip , please note that the tide will not vary much ..BUT...if the sea pics up a surge could change how the tide actually feels[/color]
At the moment the swell is running at a true southly but is due to shift to a south eastly as the front approaches with a very serious high ridging in behind it.
Pushing tide early AM spots are a plenty on the Jikeleza , Cefane to the right of the river comes to mind and a short walk from the Glengariff side towards Yellow Sands and as the rocks stop towards the beach are some good formation gutters at the moment.
Also be aware if you fishing on or close to a river mouth and you like to wade in a bit...standing on a raggie is something you dont want to do...just because they seem to be a docile shark they still have a formidable set of teeth that will do some serious damage to a calf or ankle....
Those that like to fish in river mouths and follow the colour line as the tide pushes , then Kei mouth is the perfect spot...some pretty good catches of kob have been made there on this kind of early morning tide..
One more spot that can also produce on a push is Cintsa west side ...just to the left of the tidal pool...
Well Folks , if you prepared to brave the wet and the chilly temps predicted for this weekend it might just pay off with a catch of a lifetime!!!...Remember , keep an eye on the water and dont take any chances , the sea is wonderful ..BUT it is also unforgiving to those that dont heed its power...
Always pick up the litter...AND..
TIGHT LINES and JUST GO FISH!!!

...Jip...its fishing time this weekend!!!

Kent · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2015, 07:16:34 PM »

Evening Folks...well ..this weekend was a waiting game as far as I was concerned.....after no fishing last weekend...I was keen to get some tin in the water...Sat was out....This AM was out...and there was a big sea on the horizon......Soooo...Today I watched and waited.....going about Sunday chores....the baro had peaked at 1022hpk and the west had slowed to a puff....I grab my stuff and headed down to my local.spot....i was blessed to have a VERY good session with the kobbies.....hooked n landed 4 and dropped a 5th.....Timing at times is crucial in this passion of ours and of course having your bait/lure in the right place at the right time......and what made it even more special these kobbies were hooked on one of my new designed spoons...

Nice Kent! Well done on landing 'em kobbies. As for your own creation awesome stuff. Maybe you should start selling them.
