Great catches there !

Hotrodding,
I'd also keep the spot hush hush... word travels and very soon it would look like a babboo forest and not all of the fisheeman may have the same ethic !

Agree Homie

Make sure you don't tell any of the people living behind the Dunes in St. Lucia where you caught them.

Ziggy · « **Reply #33 on:** January 23, 2014, 07:29:25 PM »

Hey guys thanks for these awesome replies and comments!!

And its really not an issue to give up the spots, and mention them to you. As the structure in the ocean is constantly changing with the different tides moving sandbanks up and down thus making new channels, gullys and holes day after day or more like tide after tide.

Some spectacular info can be found on this site with regards to reading the ocean, if you cant read it by just taking a glance at the water then read this articles as it betters your fishing ability.

With regards to the locations, in my first pick Im standing at the "shad gat" of Vidal, 1st parking area when you enter Vidal to gain access to the beach, straight ahead.

The second spot is at St. Lucia Caught these fish and a few 72cm Shads from the main beach area to where the meer used to enter the ocean. Just remember one thing with lure angling its all about technique, reading the water, stamina cos some times I fish from the swim beach till Pompano rock and back in one session consisting of a 16 hour casting mania, and lastly the mind power to keep trying.

Any way this is a lot of bla bla and to little

Tight lines guys!!

What is the complete title/name of the minnow...if you don't mind sharing...?

Well done mate sharing is caring should have spotted the Vidal photo I thought it was near the top access point at St. Lucy's I normally start there and spin my way down to the mouth before catching a lift from Oom Piet to the board walk and a cold one at the club. I rarely do that stretch without a knock from something and plenty of times I've caught fish in between the bait brigade when they haven't had a bump all day.
