Its soon time to bend those arms and backs on some super awesome sardine action. Can't wait.

Guided Mohammed tonight. Conditions were tough. Between fighting w**d and low tide we battled. But we managed to get a small stretch for him with this grey. Well done bud.

Last week we managed another Catface.😁. Poor bu**er still had someone's baby circle hook in its mouth. Seems like all these reef species are getting ready for the sards. Heard that a few pockets passed sheppy earlier today. Most probably red eyes though. Can't wait for all the action to come.

Corne Burger with his first flap nose hound. Fish were scarce but still a good night to be fishing.

So last night after all the sardine activity I decided to go for a throw. Was itching to try out the new Boss Braid Slick I had recently got.
Off we went in a howling 30km Easterly. The wind was pumping so hard that the car was swaying in the wind LOL but nothing was to deter me from my mission.

With nothing more than a dozen freshly caught sards which I gathered during the day for bait we arrived at one of our local points here.

The sea was flat and the spray from the very small swell was misting up everywhere. I decided to tie on my 13/0 Linux Power Plus hooks on my special trace. I just knew the fish were around after seeing all the action during the day. After tying two fresh sardines head to tail on my trace I flicked it into a nice little clear section between two sand churned banks. Well was I in for a surprise.

Even in the howling wind, I felt with the Boss Braid Slick the slight pickup and move forward. Couple seconds later came that unmistakable bite. I lifted my rod to set the hook. Off it took like a steam train. This braid is so sensitive I could feel the tail of the fish beating against the leader. It ran about 30 meters and then the fish did a 180 on me and I thought I was off. Wound like crazy so braid doesn't tangle on the ledges in front, halfway back the fish took off again. Screaming spool and all. But the dirty bu**er had other plans for me. Pulled me over a ledge, I could feel the braid grinding on the ledge. And Bang! Off. My Heart sank. No picture of my prize to be. No giant smile. Crestfallen I called it a night. To say that the Boss Braid Slick held up in tortured conditions is an understatement. This Teflon coated 8 strand Boss Braid fought way above its fighting class. Value for money. I really could not fault it at all. Will definitely be spooling this braid up again.

Cant wait to get out there again.

My take on mono to coated wire joint. Used for making bite traces.

Decided last night to go for a quick throw with the Mrs. And we had a little fun on a local reef.

Orange rocks tonight. Absolutely beautiful waters. No wind.

Orange rocks now. Absolutely beautiful afternoon. Looks like the evening is going to be excellent to put a bait.

Shelly Beach today. Wind is blowing a bit. But it's laying down. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful evening to wet a line.

My friends are cruel. Sending me pics like this early this morning when I have to work.😂

The shad are here. The guys were catching shad till late last night at the margate pier. And the little bu**ers were biting our braid off in stmikes, where we only managed one small Rocking cod. The sea is a little on the rough side with intermittent ground swell coming through every now and then. But it looks as if it's settling. There has been garrick and prodigal son catches as well. Looks like the game is starting on the lower south coast.

We took Juan Venter to a spot in Ramsgate last night. The sea was beautiful. We got one small Catface Rockcod. We lost a beautiful young Bronze Whaler of about 20 to 25kgs. Just couldn't get to it fast enough. Put too much pressure on the trace and parted it. Was a good evening on the bricks. Beats working. Lol.

Orange rocks- Rough seas and w**d in the water today. 15 to 20knot SW. No fish reported today. Weekend has been bleak.
