Overberg Angling

Fishing close to the slipway on a rainy day in Sedgefield

Sunny day at Kabeljougat in Sedge lagoon...

Fishing incoming tide at Kabeljougat - the day Cyn got her first cob...

My grandson getting lessons on bloodworms

Taking the kids fishing is super. They really enjoy being out in nature...

Another cob that had to be "swimmed" out after getting tangled in underwater obstacles.

My first catch of the trip - a stumpie of 23cm Caught on moonshine worm

The jetty at Victoria Bay. Good elf fishing in season

Beneke se klip at Hartenbosch. The flat sea was no good for the crackers and we blanked, but it is a good spot for them. Saw a shad of 3kg+ being landed that day.

Fishing at Myoli beach in Sedge to the left of the river mouth. Stunning water but only peckers there that day.

Got the following e mail and followed his advice:

Hope you are enjoying your stay there. I have fished that area extensively and if the water is warm enough, (last I heard the easterly has made it cold) You may want to go and fish the Oysterbeds between sedgefield and Buffalo Bay. It is a bout a 5 km walk from either end. There is an area of good sandstone reefs and the musselcracker fishing can be spectacular there. (as well as galjoen, dassie, bellman and a few other reefies.) To get there, you either park at Goukamma Nature reserve (Buffalo Bay side) and walk down the beach towards sedgefield, or drive past lake pleasant hotel and go all the way to the parking area at the sea and then walk up the beach towards knysan. This weekend is spring and it fishes best for ‘cracker two hours before till two hour after spring low. (Skimmelkrans is the best spot if it is washed open) Ask someone where skimmelkrans is. (Roughly in the middle of the oysterbeds area.) The whole area fishes best on the low and pushing tide in the morning. (i.e. springs)

Tight lines.

P.S. Fish heavy, the water is shallow and the cracker get big. You are guaranteed to lose more than you land!

SOUTH SEA SAFARIS

Another spot in the same area. That day the water was very strong with a huge side current. Fish 0, Oysrebeds 10. I lost a few sinkers and called it a day!

The pass between Wilderness and George. Lovely place to catch haarders and also a small slipway for the George Deep Sea Angling club.

Casting lessons!

Trying very hard - and succeeding as well! Look at the commitment getting that sinker to the other side

Lovely rod action! It ended up being a super great cast...

Brenton-on-Sea at the main beach...

More Brenton-on-Sea. Looks like a great angling spot...

Knysna lake system - absolutely stunning and majestic!!

Buffalo Bay from the Brenton side. Never managed to get there this time, but will make a plan next time...
