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.

Yes, the pressure surely has something to do with it.
What is happening at pulpit Rock at Glenmore?
I have no info today of down south, no calls
Killer Spot!!!
Thick clouds I'm checking getting blown there 😂
Where is this location? It looks like a really nice spot.
Its in Salt Rock, North of Ballito
Located in shakas rock the road to access the spot is called rock lane though It's not the safest place to park your vehicle.
Where is High Rock?
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
Wheres this place ?😍
Its in Salt Rock, the northern end of Thompsons bay
Awesome bro

Hi guys
Wer abt is high rocks situated
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.
In South Africa
penn all the way...my man👌👌
It extremely dangerous especially fishing of such a high rock with Sandles. Anything can take your bait not just shad/Elf, and I wrong foot, 😢😢
What fish r they?
These fish are Shad of Blue fish known elsewhere
@@TrueNorthFishing I live in Cape Town now and I miss this. I don't know where you filmed this but it seems to me like Scotsburough
It is called razor blades as they are still very small
i see bag limits ignored
Yes some people ....
Shame on the people who is quick to pick on others! Ask yourself 1st if you obey every rule of our country... then pick on others!
Bag limits not controlled. True shame and this is the reason our fishnis depleting. Disgusting
Seems like no one cares about bag limits.... Shame
Seems so..this is hectic.
That's the usual story.

One month ago, shad fishing was illegal. Shame on you guy's.
These fish were caught on the 27th of September, just before the season closed. No Shame in it. Those were legal Shad.
