I noticed the gentleman with the slippers and blue shirt using a whole sardine and not getting a bite. Is it true that shad bites better on headless sardine? Also is it true that baiting with the skin down ( not visible) results in getting hits from bigger shad. Correction, he actually landed a few big ones in the latter part of the video
Shad are crazy fish. When they go into a frenzy they take anything, half a sardine, spoon, rapalas anything actually. But just as they can feed, they can stop feeding, sometimes you can see them in the water but they not biting. Personally, i prefer a whole sardine.
@@TrueNorthFishing Tks for your reply. I used to fish in and around Durban back in the 90s. I didn't master the art but watching your videos brings back lovely memories. I now live in Japan.
I think its the pressure in the water .they don't feed think .Just swim around the bait. I noticed they only take bait when pressure is between 80 to 127 .maybe you can prove my theory. The inside out bait is good. But must be bloody. Red eye sardines. Sugar mackerel. Japanese mackerel and caranteen fillet makes good bait for shad.
High rock is between Ballito and Salt Rock. Take the road along the beach towards Salt Rock...Ocean Drive. When you reach Rock lane, turn right and you will be at High Rock
If you take Simbithi drive in Ballito and follow it all the way down. Take a left at the stop into Ocean drive and follow that road until you see a place called Martinique, turn right into Rock lane. Park there and take a walk down.
I think that these guys that are fishing to feed their family shouldn't be criticized, the trawlers that are owned by greedy commercial fisheries that are raping our fish stocks and exceeding their quotas should be considered
@@keenanpanday389 They are in a way but greed takes over. After the basics are met, the rest is usually spent on alcohol and drugs. I know all too well.
