Ex- Durbanite now for 41 years, but nothing thrills me more than pulling out those size shads whenever I'm there. Love your clips & updates - my day is not done until I've watched them. Today's one was one of the best. Keep up the great work- all the way from Kaapstad!
Well done Bali... Always enjoy your videos. I'm so glad you got a proper rod bender today. Keep up the great content. As the some okes mentioned before. Measuring wing span on skates and rays and converting to weight is a safer option for you and the fish. Tight line and a great winter season!
Yes man!!! finally that sl screamed and the Loomis bent, ur sister will be very happy, the moral of the story the wife should be with you for your trips, nice to see her by ur side as u brought that in, excellent to see her land some shad, needed to get Kobus on a few. Definetly taking my wife this weekend with me when I go searching for sards and some nice bites... Proud to say this man is my fishing buddy👏👏👏👏
Well done Mnr, great catch and persistance pays off, thats a diamond ray and they can give you carrots on a lighter setup. big ups for treating the fish with care
Howzit Boet, what a awesome diamond skate you got there , you see I told you you gonna get bent soon , lekker man lekker wens ek was daar , they give a good tussle, I am so happy you gat stretched a bit , this is just a warm up for what is still coming to your side . Well done the JJ , keep the good work coming.
Awesome content elder brother , I would like to advise you to wear a mask , when fishing in those crowds on the pier because if anything could happen and covid 19 is bad hence we wouldn't want anything to happen to you , who would provide us with great content , support and all those helpful tricks and ideas , so keep well and keep up with the wonderful content , tight lines😎
Hi uncle i am coming to Margate 1st to 11 September, what would be the best spot and bait to use, what is the chances of getting corb/shad,Garrick this time of the year?
Great stuff , wen fishing for sharks and rays go circle , and if u can smash the barb , this will ensure hook stays on side and no barb quick hook pull out . Then only issue to keep line tight all the time .
Trust my luck for it to be here the weekend after. 😪 Nice to see the rod bending after some time. Oom think we will come down on the 16th just for the day. Are the guys getting any Shad on Spoon
@@theopotgieter5850 the shape of the diamond differs from a brown.. We'll say the diamond is more elongated and a brown is more "round"... Also the colors have a slight difference.. Daonds having a lighter shade which looks almost like a lighter sand colour.. And the browns having that darker brown colour.. Also with diamonds they have very short tails which is almost none existant.. And browns have normal longer tails like all the other skates/rays.
Lekker yster JJ . Wel gedaan . Mooi vet elwe ook. And madness will prevail . Margate pier op sy beste . Let the fun begin . Great video to bad for the old snowflakes
Lekker Oom JJ, that's a nice Diamond Ray you got there and plenty Shad too for the pan... sore arms and top chow... happy days!
Lekker man

Great. Wish I was in Natal for the winter. Hope you get only the big ones this season
We will im sure
Weigh fish you are going to keep. Otherwise measure cordal, precordal or if it's a ray - wingspan.
Tight lines.
You had some good fun today Oom!!! I’m so jealous. Lekker speed.

Well done! Beautiful diamond ray
Hi uncle i am coming to Margate 1st to 11 September, what would be the best spot and bait to use, what is the chances of getting corb/shad,Garrick this time of the year?
Margate pier...sardine for shad, live shad or carrenteen for Garrick and Cob. Also Uvongo pier for Shad
Top stuff bro. Lekker sizes 🙏
Great stuff , wen fishing for sharks and rays go circle , and if u can smash the barb , this will ensure hook stays on side and no barb quick hook pull out .
Then only issue to keep line tight all the time .
Got some Circles today, eish bru, big bucks
@@TrueNorthFishing I know , try the bkk not to badly priced 12/0 are fine even 10/0 won’t kill ur pocket
Nice catch well done
Trust my luck for it to be here the weekend after. 😪 Nice to see the rod bending after some time. Oom think we will come down on the 16th just for the day. Are the guys getting any Shad on Spoon
Spoon, half sards, full sards, almost anything you throw. Bring the boys
@@TrueNorthFishing will do Oom JJ
Well done oom. I am also not so good on the ID on skates and rays. Please can you or someone help on what is the diff between a diamond and a brown?
I will find out
@@TrueNorthFishing Thank you oom.🙏

Good catch.
You don't need to weigh the fish that way. It could injure and die. Measure the wingspan instead.
Noted
Well done
Thanks
That is a diamond ray
Ey lekker uncle pull it
Well done uncle, you totally deserved!!
Thanks buddy
Tops
Great Diamond! I lost a similar one 2 years back on Lee Rock. It's a nightmare to bring them in there so well done great catch
Yes its a struggle, but we were lucky
Nice catch but we able to measure fish now so there is no need to weigh fish and potentially harming them.
Well done my man at last the road is pending
