Jesse Schubach at The Kingfisher introduced me to these Mustad Tarpon hooks. The are absolutely brilliant hooks! My first fish on them was a hard-fighting and jumping oxeye tarpon! Also got springer, shad and snoek on them since I starter using them. Once hooked th fish seems to struggle to get that hook out of their mouths.

Agg that's ridiculous... what are the chances of catching an oxeye Tarpon in the first place... but on a "Tarpon" hook....  :rotfl

I tell you Reefz! What is the chance of that happening. I switched to the tarpon hooks the evening on my green glow couta casting no 2 spoon. Next evening I went for a spinning session at Illovo Beach. Tried a few spoons with no bites. First cast with the green glow with tarpon hook and VAS with oxeye tarpon!!! Hahahaha!

Leker fish . Lekke thread .

Those courta spoons just have not taken off this side . Most prob  , the lack of our fast moving fishies.

It appears to be true, although Barry Wareham has caught a yellowtail on one in False Bay. But I heard the slimbaits and plugs have produced bigtime in Struis this year with the shad and leervis!

Ja, we know this from reports. And yellowtail are pretty much fast moving . We tend to be hard core and stick to the flat backs and slices on them yellowtail.

It's been better than normal , regarding leervis and elf. But the past couple of weeks hasbeen tough . Missed a biggggg kob on paddle tail a week back . Ate a havoc hard , caught me of guard .

Hi, it was a slow breede weekend, managed some grunter on the drift, leeries were not coming to the party, but did witness a zambie slaughter a grunter in the shallow waters. Other than that what an awesome river......
