Struisbaai updates and reports .

[Williamsr]

Any fish around guys got nothing yet.

[Lenny]

Got hold of some mullet late Friday , 6 mullets / 6 pulls . Pesky raggies .


Many fish around , towards suiders.
I also saw a guy on Saturday buckling on the bricks , just before rosilou.


My buurman fished Saturday morn very early , no eds , just a small diamond , and a raggie too .


Everything indicates if you looking for eds , find the water water , and the warmer water is not in the bay , so figure .


There's also been patches of birds working in the shallows , basicl6 just outside casting distance , I am basically 100% sure , it's elf eating baitfish and the scraps the birds feed on . There are elf around too .

Die las


Well known cracker area , we'll know for producing larger elf that the other places , with some serious blouelf getting landed from time to time .


Die las also produces large leeries ( dec to feb)
It's also worth it throwing a either a spoon , for elf and leervis , or a paddle for kob.


Be aware that you will loose tackle here , weather it's sinkers or lures , it's a foul place , and if your to far down the a frame reef in the picture , you will loose all your tackle . You need to be about 3/4 down the reef , if you want to put in a wade , right in the front ,better hold on there's big crackers there .


This is a low tide spot , you'll need some colour .
This reef in the pic are only exposed and imo only disable for a short window .


Be weary , there's bigggg markers here .

[Lenny]

You can park in the harbor , and walk to die lass , the sandy beach  on the outside towards die las  also produces good kob , elf galjoen ect .


Regarding safety in the harbour , I do lock my car , some guy leave rods sticking out of the Windows ect , I would not .


On low tide , you can pick up your redbait all along this stretch to die las and past die las , pass die lass is a very shallow bay knee deep on low , good to find occies .

[Lenny]

Ok so you left , die las now , moving toward aghulhas . The houses stop on you left hind side , on the oceans side , the next stop , skullpies Baai .

[Lenny]

Skulpiesbaai , is the first parking lot after you have passed were the houses stop on the ocean side , 300 m further , gooi left .


The first to pics are the western side . You can clearly see a very very nice sloep there in front , this was one of my favorite areas to fish and have landed my pb kob there , and a number a double digest kob there , there's a drain pipe you fish in front of it on and incoming tide , the rocky area I in the back ground , is worth it exploring for an open hole , currently there's a very nice long sloep open , and producing fish , crackers galjoen kob , baardman kolstert , big wildeperd .

[Lenny]

To you're eastern side , in the same parking lot this is you're view , skullpies Baai point .


You will see two points , AVOID the one in front . It has narrow deep  gullies , you'll end up loosing loads of tackle and leader . It's also not safe .


The shallow one in the foreground , you get your elf there , you kob , galjoen .
Strange on the in eds front this Putin often produces bronzies of 30 to 50 kg , a holding easterly they get them there .


Also a low tide spot fish on the incoming .

[Lenny]

Ok so we skipped few areas like die deurloop, t hak ect .


Look on youre right hand side for a small very small yellow fade yellow double story house , called pontjie botter , next parking lot .
Sandbaai and die Eiland .


This is die Eiland , low tide place for large galjoen , big spotties kolstert just to the western side is a small sandy bay , called sand Baai . Galjoen area , on the rocks past the sandy cove , is three fingers , currently that hole is open.  And producing all sorts , a couple of weeks back , there was a large block of decent b there , many guys got good fish in sizes and numbers ,
I reported this a while back .

[Lenny]

A bit more , a bit later .

[SAfish]

  Awesome posts, Lenny.    I have fished the area stukkend sinse I was a little boy and know them very well. We have spent long hours in the dark targetting those Bronzies. I can't wait to fish there again.

[Lenny]

Sand Baai , just past die Eiland, the house opp is called sea bear studios .

[Lenny]

The of of sandbaai , were taken from die island side , on the right hand side of the pic the parking lot I front of sandbaai are there , and the bay or cove a bit more visible .


On high you fish from the sand onto rocks , I suggest y fish more towards island side when fishing on high tide .


On low or incoming tide fish on the sides , the eastern side of the cove/ bay has been very good to me in the past .


This is also an area , that washes open and closed from time to time .


Galjoen , kolstert , cracker .
I remember many years ago me and some friends fished sandbaai in a winter storm , it was foul weather and not cool , we persisted but got zero pulls .
I decided to load up my 3/0 with a big wors of redbait , and I remember , Andries dad lagging , and saying , do the galjoen have knifes and forks ??


Made my cast , minutes later pissing with rain , get pulled flat , VAS .
Was a good galjoen , 2.7 kg weight and braked ha ha ha spekvet.

[Lenny]

Next up , we skip a short area again , to the well known BROOD .
You can clearly see the  farmloaf sticking out , on LOW .
If you don't know the place you might be confused , there's two , but the one to the eastern side sitting in the parking lot .


What ever you do here DONT FISH PARALELL TO THE SWELL RUNNING IN .
Presentation and trace does not present itself in a manner that fish fall for it . Not only that , you will get fouled up fishing like that .


If you want to fish the shallower areas , take a short walk to spookdraai , there's are very nice areas there too , scattered rock and some sand/ pebbles .




Die brood is a well known shark and kob spot .
Raggies , gullies , cows flatfish .
Best bet here like most areas , live bait . Bloody makky baits , flapped FRESH mullet .


The old cracker makes an appearance here , thinking back we have caught crackers and bs there on the same day / outing .


This is a nice place to fish in the dark , not to skurf. And battling a big fish , your cars lights from the parking lot will be helpful .


The big kob use to be plenty done here , the last couple of years not so much , but they are still there ,


Keep in mind , if the swell is biiiiggg don't fish here , it's too exposed to the current and swell .

[Lenny]

@ safish , yep same here , from skulpiesbaai to die las , that was my area . I have also bought a few rocks there way back in time .


Kom kom , share your info guys .
