varswater baber snorbek

dryf gister middag rustig op rivier.....kobbies byt....ek en my maat vang sommer hele skooltjie......twee mooistes gehou vir saterdag se visbak.......terwyl ou seerower met n kobbie spook spook ek ook......hy land sy kobbie.....myne neuk in riete in....ek kry hom uit.....toe hy by my canoo kom sien ek dis wragtag n slymerige varswater snorbek.......in plaas van n kabeljoutjie!!!!katvis en kabeljou loop saam.....:hyst::hyst::lol:1

Ag mooi man

Nou weet ek hoekom ek nooit kablejou gevang kry nie.
Ek dog hulle bedoel "see" baber en kablejou loop saam.

Ek het al op die breede gesit en n kurper van so +-2kg gesien onder in die bend terwyl ons grunter gevang het hy wou niks geweet het nie.

kyk kabeljou en seebaber loop saam.....dis so waar as jy kan kry.....dink die varswater snorbek van die bo rivier af geaas....hyt van die varswater afgeswem....seker so ver in die sout in as wat hy kon......en n lekkerny opgeraap

varswater baber is darem heerlik om te eet, jy kort een van so 4-5kg, trek die vel af en kyk geen grate nie. Pragtige vleis.

I remember from my childhood that baber is a lekker fish so last year December I decided to spare the kurpers and opted to relive my childhood memory by sacrificing a baber instead... I remember boneless white meat but instead it was a redish meat. We had no fancy ingredients with us except for salt and pepper, cake flour and some sunflour oil...just the basic ingredients for making a lekker kurper fillet in the pad for a brunch next to the water!

I must admit that the cat wasn't as nice as I remember but I think it just needed a batter instead of a flour coating and n deeper fry...

I will defo try it again but this time cater for the occasion!

ai varswater of see vis.....vars gebak....langs water.....van die beste

This is an instant classic thread..

I've eaten barbel, made into nuggets, battered and deep fried..You'd swear it was chicken with a little fish after taste. Kind of what snake tastes like, a large puff adder that I ate tasted pretty close. Not that I normally eat those but that one lunged for a mate and got the chop and became dinner and a belt. It was damn good eating, just like I remember deep fried baber! Just thinking also, those "sea run" sharptooth catfish should be better chow than their muddy brothers, I wonder what their main diet is in the estuary?

What a lag, check for the red eye sales going up inland... I've caught baber spinning for bass, bass spinning for leeries..Caught kurper and carp while waiting for a live bait to get taken by leeries, and had double up with an angry leervis and a rather large carp in a Cape Town lagoon, at the same time which was pretty interesting as they were in different canals and I was standing on the thin piece of land between them. The carp was the one that knitted me all up in the structure but I got both out. For a kid that grew up in jo'ies I thought I had landed in fishing nirvana, little did I know! Ja the upper reaches of estauries can be interesting, you never know what you are going to catch..

Both you guys are full up on mana but you deserve some more..great stuff

Dr. I think you absolutely right...it needs to be in a batter and deep-fried!
Also, I usually do not eat freshwater fish but I will do the odd kurper as it is one of the best fish there is...no wonder Woolworths is selling it these days...
I will also only do so from a selected few dams that have crystal clear water away from any pollutants (Sorry I cannot name them as I would be giving away my spots;-)) Also smaller cats are a lot better than their larger relatives...A cat of around 3kg is excellent size! It is actually unbelievable how much meat comes out of such a small specimen.

eintlik is dit niks snaaks nie.........al baie jare steek die varswater manne hul geheime weg......in lake mentz darlington dam is al hope snorbekke op sardyn of pillies gevang!!!!!ja hy like viskop....erties....hoenderlewer.....maar is mal oor sardyn.....ook op makriel en moenie lag tjokka is mooi babers gevang!!!!!eks eendag saam varswater pro hengelaars....moes mullets gooi!!!!kannie glo hoe tel baber mullet kop met pens en binnegoed op!!!!!was op palingtrip in berge saam beste palingvangers.......hulle vang reuse varswater palings daar in daai diep gate in bo rivier myle van see!!!!!gewoonlik op paddas en klein vinkies.......hier met laaste trip vat ons gewone sardyn......palings byt dat dit klap op dit.......ek hoopie varswater manne kwaad vir my dat ek dit oorvertel...ek mag seker op sealine...

Haha..a whole new can of worms..

in elk geval onthou ek as kind toe my pa en oupa daai jare harders op gourits in bo rivier gevang het.....daar was altyd jong steenbras en grunter en leervis en kabeljou in net....ons het hulle so gou moontlik losgemaak en vrygelaat......die teiken was harders....springers......baie keer het reuse karpe tot op 10 kg in net beland tussen seevis....kyk water is brak.....minder sout bo in rivier......ou mense daai karpe kaalboude genoem vir een of ander rede....weet tot vandag nie hoekom nie......

Praat so van al die visse en kosse Maak my voorwaar Lekker honger... Waar is die dae wat ons loop duiwe skiet het op die plaas...al kaalvoet Deur die dorings...innie laeveld kan daai dorings maar groot raak...kameeldorings...en daai pes van n Hak en klou dorings...behoed jouself dat jy nie in so bos onbewus vasloop nie...veral innie aand...daai ding steek in jou kopvel vas vir n vale...hoe meer jy probeer loskom how dieper sit jy vas...Ek het tot vandag toe merke op my van daai doringbos kompleet asof Ek my polse probeer afkou het!

Hierdie Desember het ek weer n paar dae van lekker kuier saam my pa...my broer...my swaer...en n baie goeie skoolvriend van my! My vriend het hoeka vir ons n paar galone "pale ale" gestook
Hier is daai ou ribbetjie...dink hy was seker 4 na 5 ure gehang langs daai vuurtjie. Sommer n stuk draad gesalvage wat n bondeltjie hout aan mekaar gehou het...n stok wat op die oewer gele het. Die grond is hier so hard ons het die stok maar maak staan so met n paar klippe wat hom moes ophou.
