Suprise Catches on Gamtoos...83cm & 79cm Skippy - Ladyfish
Fished the Gamtoos surf early morning on neap push tide, after no catches I decided to join some friend who were fishing from the river bank. A few good juvenile Garrick had already been caught, and there were sightings of chases from large Garrick. Three casts in and I bump my first 83cm Skippy on a Trophy Tails Bucktail. I changed over to a Sure Strike Sinking Pencil (Shiver Stick) and was immediately into my next 79cm Skippy!!

    Hey Brett, this has truly been an eye opener for me.....thanks for the content. I grew up fishing for these beauties on lite tackle in Durban bay on the Centre bank.....we used to park at Royal Zulu and walk out at nigh on spring low then wade back with the tide....what a Joll. I never considered catching these fish on lures, non the less top water lures, since all you ever see of the grunter is it tail out the water so why would they feed on the surface .....rite??? well .....I need to try this so please can you do a video of the lure action maybe near the boat so we can see what it looks like and try mimic this magic trick you have going. Thanks again for sharing and Keep that stick bending.

    • @trophytails
      @trophytails Місяць тому

      @craigsaayman2427 glad you enjoyed the video, I enjoyed making it! :-) It's an old trick in the Southern and Eastern Cape. To many Anglers have laid credit to figuring it out...I have just kept on tying the method until I got it right. There is no specific lure techniques, some days they just want it drifting along the bank, other days a twitch here and there and then other days a slow 'walk the dog' action with pauses. You just need to figure out the best 'key' to fit the day! Give it a try, Anglers have also said that they can't raise a bite in KZN waters, but that's what I use to say about Gamtoos River! LoL Good luck n tight lines!! :-)

    Hi Brett hope you're good?I have 2 questions regarding topwater lures , do you always drift when targeting Grunters and can you fish deep water as well or do you only have to fish the shallows?..Nice watching your outings @ the Gamtoos..Stywe Lyne

    • @trophytails
      @trophytails Місяць тому

      Hi Stompie, great stuff, glad you are enjoying the videos...im enjoying making them! Re the Grunter, I normally anchor the boat once I find a shoal thats in feeding mode and then tend to use the tide to drift a top water over the area to get the bite. Some days you can simply drift the lure with a occasional twitch, other days you have to work the lure at a slow pace using the 'walk the dog' action. I have, by mistake, caught Grunter in deep water, but generally water 1m and shallower does the business. Keeping very QT is the key, avoid any loud talking or bumps on the boat to avoid spooking the shoal! Good luck!!
