Raggies....if you dont get raggies you dont win in Struis! Simple as that. Conditions are crap and the raggies have been few and far between. Water is clean and they have completely the wrong wind blowing. Hope the condotions improve for the A Nats!

Thanks for the updates, Sylvester. Please keep them coming.

Today is the rest day but the action will be on again tomorrow. Back to the sand they go and I hope the fish can come in. Nothing worse than a Nationals with min fish.....then it comes down to luck vs skill....and that is never a nice battle when fishing is the game!

WP have got a very strong team and with Charl Marais guiding them and Gunther managing them they can just concentrate on pulling fish. All things being equal they should defend that gold from last year.

Thanks for the info Craig .

Funny is usually the Banana boys has a hard time down here , and Border at the worst of times Strong anywhere .
Very suprised about Boland posision .
Bigger swell came throught the night , Stil very poor condisions in Struis it self , Dont know about the Other areas .

I got 3 Decent Elf last night , 40cmr's . There was not alot at al and I was one of the few that got more that 1 .

Clear skies and windless days are only good for the Boats , Large Geelbek has been caught and some Kob , and still some Tail , on the 8th of FEB , the Jolly rodger landed a Striped Marlin of 80 kgs , and managed to bring another two to the surface , with out getting strikes .

Graig are you going to fish the A nationals ?

WP made the right choice for management of the team,just show you how important it is to have the right people in place.

Hope Boland can improve there log position.

Die myn het sy eie tyd en dit is stadiger as Afrika tyd.

Southern Cape put in a huge effort today.....they are lying just ahead of WP now. Some of the guys apparently had 2 cards full of sandies.....that like 46 sandies...huge!

SAfish · « **Reply #212 on:** February 14, 2014, 08:07:28 AM »

Wow, that is really impressive. Well done SC for the effort and hard work.

Thanks Graig .

I have good news and good news in the Rock and surf front .
There was a giant Duckbill caught last night , whitebait in front of Nostra , biggest one I have seen in YEARS , very skikfully played by the angler , that small corner are a hard place to fish even though most of the area are sand , theres a nice very deep hole , and the edges are covered with rocks and sharp things . You cast in that hole , and you will go tight , just a matter of are you lucky enough to get him out of there . We have taken some really good fish there , BIG Grunts , Steenbrass / Kob Elf , Crackers , but you gotta know what your doing .

Wind is SE , swell is stirring up nicely and from Monday The Rock and surf will COOOOKKKK .
.WE are gonna make a session with livebaits on monday , Suiderstrand or Loodswaai Area .

Heyyyy, and we got two areas where the mullets are full up, hope the wind keeps them there till monday \

Lenny · « **Reply #214 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:27:28 PM »

A very large Kob was landed yesterday , guys talking about 30 kg plus fish !

I will be out and about , before susrise . Got crew to hit Loodswaai , and mullet still full up , got a occy too . Seems I am luckier offshore these days , But keep on , keeping on !

Are your team up and ready for the A Nats ? They must cut down

It is a beautiful sunny day in Struisbaai and the anglers are out in force and some areas have really good colour. The guys that were out on the boats came back with good numbers of Yellowtail and some of the fish are massive!!
