[Lenny]

soooooo .


The conditions was perfect over the weekend , with lots of fish Caught , Belmanne / Steenbrasse and Galjoen .


The Galjoen nice sized fish was caught on die plaat .


We made a mission to die WALLE , near perfect conditions , but I watched TV , lots of undersized Steenbrass was set free again , I have a few pics that I will post later , the mission en route to die Walle .


There was a bout 12 guys fishing that side , everybody got pulls , and it was not the pesky Kolsterte and Wildeperd . I had to be rude to two guys that wanted to bag undersized fish , I took a firm stance and told them they will be in a world of trouble and I will take the the #$^% out . I then took on of the Steenbrasse and grew it back in the water , they were less than impressed ...


One thing we picked up , when the tide swings , on the drop , the fish come on the bite like MAD .
I still have some alive prawn and are going for a session later , look for a Belman of wildeperd PB .

  Thanks for the report, Lenny. I am starting to develop Struisbaai-withdrawal symptoms and will have to make a plan to come visit again. 

[Inkvis]

Thanks for the report sir.  It is a nice read sitting in the office between all that I have to do!  I must say, I am getting more and more keen to do a trip there!  Have never been to Struisbaai and would love to give it a go some time!  What time of the year do you suggest?

[turns123]

Nice stuff Lenny!

Mainly Summer , basicly from Late September to may , with Feb being the best for grunters and Elf . and beginning of November the big job are around and then again in March , but good sized fish are caught from Late august to May .


Crakers from November to Jan .
In eds , Raggies ,daimonds ect also during summer . Gulley sharks we get year round .


Easter weekend are generally good too , strange over the years , they fish starts to bite when the Holiday makers leave , from middle January . this year the catches was not bad , but the weather was GREAT , out to sea too , there was days were there was lots of Tail ect .
But low and behold , 18 Jan came the caravan park empty , loads of cars leaving town .


Then from the 20 th to late March the fish went absolute bossies for weeks on end , both at the back from boats , and from the shore , then those first couple of public holidays came and DEAD again , the next Tuesday same story ...


Realisticly , you'll need about 10 days, out of those 10 days , realistically , you ill have 3 PREMIUM fishing days , you light loose a day or three to wind [ the wind is born here ]


Winter are a good time to fish too , because its quit , and not a lot of guys make missions to get out , get bait and go tight . I have adapted and we fish come rain come shine , howling Westerlies are the enemy but also bring the GIANT white Steenbrasse on the bite ,  Galjoen and Kolstert  you also get during winter . in eds ,yo uget you Cows and some SPearnose skates .


in short , come in the Summer .

Hehe, thanks a mil!  I will make sure to do an out of (holiday) season during the summer then!  It is always very funny that the fish seem to come on the bite when us holiday makers leave..  hehe!  Thanks for your great reports Lenny!
