Kelp monsters …
Chris, his son, and his son’s friend- Ehlers, joined me and Leam this morning- with Kobus, Roald and Rolf pulling in for the late morning session.
Swell was up- again- but on out second cast we went on with a kobbie- unfortunately dropping the fish with the handover of the rod. Eventually- Ehlers landed a bus of a blue- only to slip out of our hands upon landing it due to a big swell/ (no pics).
Kobus landed a eagle ray- with Roald also landing his first ever Blueray.
Oom Rolf also landing two Blues- one being an absolute tank of a fish!
Lavehn fishing next to us also landing a beautiful blueray.

The floating kelp was an absolute pain- making for hard work today- so lets hope that it improves
Enjoy the pics-!!

Closest you can get to a seamonster! These soft natured animals can be seen on a daily basis in Struisbaai Harbour . And if you are really lucky- you can even get one to come in close enough to hand feed!

Another tough day.💀
Regular client- Steve Kerr, visiting from the UK, joined me this morning for a session.
We really wanted to target a big blueray, so off we went looking for a good piece if water.
The small elf were everywhere- destroying our sardine bombs in second- that was up until Steve’s rod got pulled flat by a biiig elf- and off…
And that was it- a few barble, lotsa plastic and weeds- and endless peckers stripping our baits.
We even had some rain- with the awning coming in really handy!
The fishing-It can only get better- and it will, but we need this swell to move off, and some south easters would be great.

So about today- solid swell making things exceptionally tough in falsebay!
We had two pulls the whole session- one a young kob, and the other felt like a blueray. Thankfully- i could show my clients baits, rigs and locations for their upcoming Arniston trip- so in the end, a day well spent and happy clients.
So unfortunately- no fishy pics for today- so
You have to be content with a few random shots.📸
Ps/ tomorrow’s conditions looking decidedly better- so let’s see what happens!

Smiley se BuL !!!

This morning i was joined by Ismail (aka Smiley), along with Stefan and Louis- who is on holiday here in the Mother City for a few days.
Swell was slightly up- so we took our time looking for a spot to start.
From the word go, the Babers tackled our baits- so we made a call to make another move.
With two hours left before high, we settled on a piece of water, and in went the baits.
Louis’ rod went first- with him landing his first Cape town kobbie💪🏼- a clean tjokka bait.
Next up- Stefan went vas- landing a good eagle ray- on a tjokka/sard di**le.
A few moments later it was Smiley’s turn- and on, with his first fish ever! A kobbie just shy of 60cm for the man💪🏼.
This fish turned out to be only a practise run for him- as on his next cast-(on his new rod), he got flatboxed!
A strong fish- that didnt want to swim over the lip- and a massive relief as i could land a beautifull Bull of a silver kob for Ismail!
A stunning fish- hooked perfectly in the corner of the mouth- bait used: Sardine.
Its always an honour sharing this moment with an angler when landing a special fish , especially when you know the money, time and effort that has gone into landing this fish.
Baie geluk Smiley!
Its a beauty!

I only have a few slots available for December- so feel free to pop me a whatsapp on 0844711615 to book a session.

Struisbaai Casting clinic!
A big thank you to Boland shore angling for organising this morning’s casting clinic at Struisbaai beach💪🏼.
And great to see all the new faces eager to learn a few tips and tricks that might aid them in whichever way possible!
Also good to see all the tutors pitching in, eager to help.
The main aim was to achieve greater casting distance and accuracy, and it was impressive to see how some of thise sinkers traveled🚀
Also Luke McMenemey from Fishman Tackle for bringing his stunning range of rods that we available to have a cast with- lovely stuff.
Enjoy the pics!
Ps- keep an eye out for future clinics that will be hosted by Mariette and her team.

“That’s why its called fishing”…
We had lotsa westerly’s leading up to our Boland interclub today- and to be fair, conditions on the day seemed better than expected.
Boeta and i got to the spot - unpacked, and then, as i tried to put on my fishing boots- i noticed that they are strangely to small… wtf.
Turned out that my client got our boots mixed up, and i ended up with his size 8’s.. it didnt fit..
So i had to fish in my slides/flip-flops on the rocks for the entire comp…
And wragtag first cast, i slip and fall myself in my chât... .
Anyway- boeta had a solid start, landing a few fish, including a beaut of a blueray of 75,1cm!
Did really well fighting the fish between the reefs- with me almost falling again while attempting to land it.
I blobbed- hard… one pull for the day on a maccie head, and one edible dropped on a redbait bomb.
Still- it might sound cliché, but we will be back again next month- still as enthusiastic before the comp, no matter the conditions.
Fishermen has to be the eternal optimists!
Welldone boeta- jy was besig oppie klippe vandag!
Enjoy the pics!

Struisbaai roadtrip met my main guy💪🏼💪🏼

05/12/2024

How tough was today!!!
Kelp, grass and plastic definately spoiling a perfect morning- with beautiful conditions and a slight nw- it was just impossible to keep your lines in the water long enough to fish effectively.
Adam, Russell and Oliver joined me today- with the second cast producing a solid pull… then the kelp moved in… me moved from blokhuis, to the river mouth, back to blokhuis, yellowbox, pipe and kaalgat baai- and started to get a few pulls.
Best pull had to be on Russell’s rod- a flatbox with the reel screaming, making every bit of effort worth it!
We ended the session with 3 Bluerays, a solid sandie and a hound.
I really hope it cleans up in time for this weekend’s interclub.
All fish caught on big sardine baits.
Boeta and myself, were off to struisbaai for the Boland interclub- so let’s see what happens.
Enjoy the pics!

Another great day!
What a perfect beach day today was- with Engela and hubby Leon, joining boeta, Nick and myself for a session.
Lines in were 5am sharp- and on the first cast, Engela went on with a very good fish!
Definately one of the biggest fish she’s ever hooked- turning out to be a solid Blueray!
Next up- she landed her first ever kobbie!
A young fish that was safely released.
This turned out to be the theme of the day- while we moved spots, we kept on hooking fish.
Leon landing a young eagle and a good blueray, with a few sandies in between.
Nick landing sandies and a smoothie- with Engela again, getting more sandies and her first ever Elf!
The plastic and weeds- definitely still an issue, but what stood out today was that every spot move produced fish, and kept the clients happy.
A very good day in Falsebay!
Enjoy the pics!

Frustrating session today.
Small swell, light nw and a dusting of rain- really comfortable fishing conditions- yet, the shore break were littered with kelp and weeds, making finding a suidable fishing hole near impossible.
Oom Lionel, Devon, Rob, Guy and Adam joined me for a session today.
First cast in, and Adam goes on with his first sandie.
We made a move to a beautiful spot- with oom Lionel landing a blueray, and Devon landing his first kob ever💪🏼.
Unfortunately, the weeds ruined to party and we had to move off again.
Our final spot was close to blokhouse- no current and no weeds- also no fish.
Thankfully, Lionell had a pull, landing a big sandy to end off the session.
The wind picked up and swung around to a moderate SW, making for unpleasant conditions, so we decided to call it.
Enjoy the pics!

Kyk net die lighty se gesig! Eerste kobbie vir hom en nog n spesie wat hy kan af tik!

We saw a gap in the wind and capitalised on it!
Francois, Nicolas, Reinhard and his son, Xander- joined us for a session this morning.
Conditions- near perfect, with a moderate SE and a flat swell.
Water temp around 15 and good colour.
We found a good looking hole- banks on either side and a sharp drop off in tue front.
Our third cast in and Nicolas goes vas- landing his first ever kob!
Then Xander went on- landing his first kobbie- then dad Reinhard goes on with hís first kobbie!
Next up- Xander goes vas again- this time with a blueray- with Reinhard going tight- with his pb Blacktail!
Things quietened down on the drop- then we moved off to the mouth.
We focussed on tjokka baits as the peckers kept us busy- and finally, we saw a bump, then slack line on one of the rods.
Nicolas ran over and landed the final fish of the trip.
It was another great day- with lotsa firsts and pb’s- and happy clients all around.
Enjoy the pics!

Just got back home from a double session on macs today!
This morning i was joined by Michael, Deon, JP, Piet and Craig- and the afternoon session saw John and his two youngsters, Greyling and Catharina, along with Jaco- and then young Xandre’s birfday party with his 5 buddies.
Conditions:
Moderate SE and a small swell meant that the fish hAD to be around.
We started with fresh tjokka and sard- and in no time had Deon hanging with a good kob!
That set the tone for the day, as we landed bluerays, eagle rays, young hounds and spotties!
The afternoon session saw 3 kob being landed- along with a few solid eagle rays and bluerays.
Oom Piet landing the biggest blueray of the season so far💪🏼💪🏼.
We ended on 8 species for the day- fishing only sardine and tjokka, working the banks hard with regular bait changes.
Enjoy the pics!!
