Angling adventures with Andre Malherbe and friends around South Africa's 'Wild Coast'. We like to explore remote areas off the beaten track in our quest to catch a variety of fish.
I just want to say thanks for sharing I've learnt alot from your videos and I'm a newbie to the bucktail lure I recently purchased a couple and it worked I was shocked at how effective they are. I'm an old bait fisherman converting to lures. Your videos have inspired me to change to lures. Thanks again I dream of a port st John's fishing trip one day tuning you from cape town.
@@candalvictor193 The two piece actually becomes stiffer in the mid section due to the overlaps of the join. I believe the two piece is as strong if not stronger than the single
@@AMROUGH82 The genuine Aquaquad that used to be made in pinetown is by far the best. The knock offs dont operate as well. The hull must have the tri hull shape, as in the two pontoons then the fibreglass hull in the middle. You welcome to send me pics of any you thinking of buying but should test first anyway. The wrong setup can cavitate badly. The mariner/mercury 25hp seems the ideal motor. You welcome to message me if you have any queries. Andre 0833205406
First of all, a very big thank you for such a swift reply. How do you fish the plugs ? Fast/ Slow/ jerking? Dropshot off Tiny's rock - Deep and slow/ Fast near the top. What about hooking up on the rocks when using a slow deep retrieval?
The plugs are the easiest as they cast well and just a standard medium pace retrieval. Dropshots off the back and Tiny's. Try all different speeds but the garrick generally prefer medium fast. weedless dropshots are ideal because you don't get snagged in the rocks. I think Bilimoria may sell them ready rigged up. Good luck.
Love your videos. My family are coming out the June /July holidays. We are planning to go to Mazeppa Bay. I am want to give my 2 grandsons a time of their lives fishing there. What lures do you recommend for the garrick there.
Hi Heinz, a 2oz chisel nose topwater plug is ideal for Mazeppa Bay. 2oz paddletail dropshot also works well at that time of the year plus you might pick up the odd cob. Enjoy
Hi Paige, it depends on your tackle weights. On light tackle in the river I use3/8 oz and 1/2 oz. In the ocean with heavier tackle 1oz to 1,5oz. The lighter tackle and lighter lures always get more action.
Nice gents! Clearly know what you doing, wouldn't mind being an extra deckhand & being put onto fish like that as I'm new to lure fishing & just got a new setup. I'm available in the week 😅.
Thanks Juan. I actually dont fish that often so always have mates queing up to jump on. You are going about it the right way tho as the best way to learn is to fish around people with more experience. Tight lines
Nice Garrick…. I also got one on Friday in buffalo river also on a bucktail. One of the most versatile lures around. Thanks for the Great videos. Tight lines 🎣
Hi, I use a few different types of reels. That particular Okuma ITX is great value for money. It feels very similar in use to my way more expensive sustain. The more expensive top end reels are more hard wearing and definitely last longer.
It's closed for recreational fishing apparently but we go there at night and we get decent cob there but on the ruff side and it's a bit dangerous and with the big cob you have to use a cliff gaff
We do fish from the small Pier but the decent edible fish is more on the point there is some days you can get leke Garrick and spotted grunter from the small Pier but we prefer the point where thers mostly big fish
ye probably best to have left it out but I got a treble hook in my hand once holding a cob for a pic so i try avoid holding fish with lures with trebles
Hi, the red eyes are prolific throughout the transkei at the moment with this spate of warm water. The cold water Sardines moving north start in about April.
hi, I make some of my own when I get the urge. Of the store bought one's I really enjoy using the 'Dirty Prawn' brand. Good finish, good action and most important a good hook. I also got a few from a brand called '4 x the fun' which are good quality with an incredibly realistic finish.
Hey Tim not sure actually. We borrowed it from a buddy as my boat was too small for my large fishing partner. But yes very stable. Will enquire and try let you know
