- Thread starter OvaR8ed
- Start date
Ek is altyd oor kersfees-nuwejaar daar, dis net 'n jammerte daai tyd van die jaar hou die visse hulle koppe laag as gevolg van al die geraas en gedruis... Ek vang baie meer vis buite seisoen.
My laaste nuwejaars voorneme was om hierdie jaar 'n klomp klein breukies te vat in die plek van een groot vakansie aan die einde van die jaar... Ek het net gatvol geraak daarvan om heel jaar te wag om dan tussen die raserige ski-bote bogerol te vang...

Dis waar.Ongelukkig kan ek net 1 keer 'n jaar afkom en moet maar die beste maak.Hierdie jaar wil ek 'n paar deurnag sessies in kry.Miskien....:wfish
Ek gaan gewoonlik Kleinbrak toe,maar nou gatvol vir dieselfde plek-my eerste keer in Stilbaai. 17/12 tot na Nuwejaar.
Ek hoop jy vang mooi en sien uit na jou report.
Groete
Jannie.
Ek verkies die Suidkaap-kwaliteit lewe.

So its the fishing withdrawal that gets blame now 
joking.
Good luck. You making me so green. Have a productive trip.
Fished that river once and had a ball of a time. Plenty smaller Grunter and only one sizer. Was in the peak season though. Would like to head back there some time soon.

On average, I sit for 4 hours maintaining 3 lines in the water. In summer a session like this delivers about 5 grunters between 35cm and 50cm, but in winter it means 1 or 2 grunters larger than 60cm...
Then I also get a couple more grunter on sun-up and/or sun-down if I can find a bank suitable for tailing during that particular moon phase's tide pattern. Hunting tailing grunter is hard and you don't get as much fish per unit time as I would with some of my other patterns, but it's my favourite way to hunt these fish!
Put in the time and you will be rewarded. Grunter fishing is a bit slower now that the water is colder so you don't get that many grunter as you would in summer... but I found that although you get less fish this time of the year, the size is much bigger!

Depends on the tide, the moonphase, amount of ink fish in the river, etc...
If you sit long enough with a mud prawn a grunter will pick you up anywhere in the river at any time, the take will just differ...
In deeper water (waist and deeper) the take will tend more towards a solid run. Loose drag is the key, count to 5 and tighten up the drag slowly until the resistense is right for the fight. There is also a chance you'll get picked up by a kob and/or a ray here...
Knee to waist water close to prawn banks is where I get most grunter. Make a long cast so they don't see you from the bait. Two tugs and a run, count to 5 and tighten drag slowly.
Shallower water is harder as they are more skittish here. Klein hardegat bytjies, dan kry jy jou hoek mooi blik terug, somtyds met net 'n klein stukkie van die prawn naby the punt van die hoek, hulle steel aas met surgical precision as hulle die dag skelm byt!

Ja ek wou net nou gevra het oor die hoek. Watse lyn gebruik jy en dan jou strop. N rondesinker op die hoof lyn met n swiwel en dan jou hoek? Kan mens van die kant af ook by die rivier vang? So ek neem aan prawn is die aas. Hoe werk daai pencil baits vir die grunter? Is daar steenbras en so aan ook in die rivier?
