Transkei SHAD || South African Fishing Tour Ep 5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- When fishing the Transkei or Wild Coast one of the main species you catch while fishing is Shad. Fishing for Shad can be really exciting especially when there is a big shoal of Shad around. I had some great Shad fishing in the Transkei. I hope you enjoy this Wild Coast shad fishing in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Hey alfie where are the clips my bru?

@@AlfiesFishingAdventures awe.kan ni wag ni🎣
How many of you use single hooks on your lures?
for certain species i'll go a single, especially if you want to release. I find using a stinger string instead of split rings and swivels with a single hook works better, always hooked in the corner of the mouth. trebles for shad and katonkel
hey what rod do you use
to fish from the banks
I have a number of rods that I use. The one I use for shad is the Diawa Excellor 11ft. Great seeing another comment from you.....I am glad you are enjoying the videos.😀
What rod and reel are you using?
In terms of rods my light tackle rod is a Diawa excellor and the heavy is an Assasin Spin XH. I'd recommend a reel with a good drag that matches each rod. 30lb braid on the light 50lb on the heavy. I hope that helps. Thanks for the comment and if you haven't yet feel free to subscribe so that you don't miss out on more videos.😎
Good shad 👏no accident s
Swivel S spoon ?
It could be....I've always seen them marked as a "Shad Spoon" in the tackle shops....😀Thanks for the comment and if you haven't yet don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss out on more videos.....😉
Where in the Transkei is this?
It is a relatively well known part of the Transkei but I don't give out the exact location out of respect for the local anglers.😀 Thanks for the comment and if you haven't yet be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on more videos.😉
Yusses. The "Wild Coast" isn't just a clever name then?
Oh yeah....it gets proper wild out there....😎
