Hi All ,

Does anyone know if there will be any snoek near the island off opbc on sunday , the weather does not look all that bad and i wanted to know if it would be  a good day to go out and look for the snoek.

dont go waste your time yet feul is comin down next month , then you can go, There were a couple but only comercials have the nack to catch those. Good luck if you do go. The fish were half to 3/4 way to the island and just a bit to the west.

you know boet, these okes have been doing it for years and they know the feeling of a skelm snoek bite, yes you will but believe me they will get them before you do, I did it for years and even I have lost the touch, last sat, we went to st, helena , the okes all hade 150+ fish and I got 113 so yes I have lost my touch.

I took your advice and did some maint. work on my boat. It sounds like you went back into comercial fishing catching 100+ snoek. My record for a day is 37snoek and that was about 5 years ago when i used to go as a tripper on the chuckys from Kalkbay.I only catch snoek that take the hook and go. How does it feel when the snoek is skelm?
