Alright, first things first there are NO STUPID QUESTIONS. Only people who are to proud or afraid to ask.
I took a gentle reminder from Miles on the phone a while back to remind me of how spoiled I was to have spent my youth on a boat and gain the knowledge from my dad, rather than having to scratch around for it. So please ask away, I will answer where I can.
I will have to put some rear view mirrors on Vixen and a oo7 smoke screen. Nah only kidding, if you see us and wanna follow, go for it. Just remember we also MOMBAK, so no knives back at the slip :fbash.
The rigs we use: it's all here, go check it out http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=7846&forum_id=45
I do use the jig heads and the traces. Let me explain.
I find the jig heads etc work well with the larger mouthed Jacopevers, Gurnards and kob.
I am talking now of bigger Jig heads around the 1oz or 3/4 oz for getting down fast.
With the Hotties if we fishing close in I will swap to a 1/4 ounce or smaller and that works fine. But if we are in the deeper areas, I swap to the similar style trace you see in the link above. All fluero and we DO USE circles only, as we release the little buggers.
The circles work with the worm just fine.
Chum bad on that side of the world and sharks - Never had an issue.
That big candy striped lighthouse = mouliie point lighthouse.
Whale rock Robben Island. Remember to give the island some distance though.
Hope that helps
