Thanks Bru for the great Videos so far. Spent many holidays there as a youngster fishing with cousins and uncles. Even the Fisher ladies. Although its not my hometown watching you makes me homesick. My family is from there. Thanks for sharing your tackle and rigging. Jigging there has been going on for very long and is sad to see. seems to be getting worse. Cant wait for the next vid. Strong Bones Brother.
Thanks Vernon, ya it is a concern. The issue is there are people buying these fish, there’s a whole market being created. My take is if we get rid of the market we can win this fight and save the Garrick species. Glad you enjoyed the videos , episode 3 almost done 😄 thanks and take care
Awe laarnie.. Soon as I heard you ask if he is gonna gaff it I was just asking myself the same thing when I saw the gaff in his hand🙈 I was just as happy as you when you said the shark came off👌👍 top stuff bru.. The jigging is swaak I understand if the oues don't have money and are fishing to feed their family but those garrick are massive and they can fish so even if they catch just one a day is more than sufficient they don't have to take over 30 a day" they must be selling them cheap I'm sure it's really 💔!!
Yes I was not going to let them gaff that shark. I mean why 🤷♂️ they not keeping it so why? Anyways happy it came off as well! I spoke to the guys and told them what we all about and they understood and agree. They are good guys. This is what we need to do as anglers, teach , preach, practice safe , responsible, sustainable fishing. The Garrick are going to be extinct if this continues because they are killing breeding stock! They are selling them cheap, the market needs to stop buying! It’s very sad…
Sad to see that the jigging is still heavy in that area even tho garrick are a plenty that doesn't mean people should take advantage of the species,, it will have an effect some day on the Ecosystem anyway great stuff still awaiting the garrick kently lol cumon bro
Yep they are killing breeding stock, so the future of Garrick is looking bleek un less something drastically is done about the Market. That’s what is fuelling the jigging. Garrick is coming bru soon soon 🤙
Eina. Kent i could hear the pain in your voice when you mentioned the jigging going on. Sorry but there is no excuse for it. It's illegal. You guys were checked and tagged yet those jiggers gets away with it every time. Sorry it should be stopped at all cost. Thanks for a great video. Darren well done. Come on Derick and Kent put a name on it. I have always been dreaming in going to PSJ but what's going on there really puts me off. You guys invested a lot of money into this trip. Hope you enjoyed it. You are possibly the last true anglers there. Looking forward to the next episode . Thanx for sharing. Gooi mielies.
Yes it’s horrible! We need to stop this practice before all the breeding stock are gone! The buyers of these fish as well as the jiggers need to be brought to book. I hope that someone with authority is watching this and can help this situation in PSJ. We made the best of the trip none the less and least we get some fish in the next episode. Thanks Xris
@@KentsFishing the intro to this video where you and Derick almost had a father's son discussion about the previous day's fishing was very beautiful and special for me. It's all great friendship.
David, I can’t reply your last comment and can’t see the entire comment. I just see that you say you grew up in Umkomaas… please check your settings. Thanks
I truly hope so however the market is part of the problem. If we can stop the market we can save the Garrick. At the current rate we might not have any for the future. These people are taking out the breeding stock that are going to spawn!! Makes me mad! Thank for the support Brother and take care 👊
@@KentsFishing yeah man , looked like a trip to remember . Make those memories bro. Suggestion the circle hooks you using for Garrick may be to thick , the heavy would be for bigger game fish of small sharks etc . Just my 2c
Howzit bru. Lovely videos and thank you for not making us wait for episodes. I'm a new fisherman from kzn. Is jigging not allowed only in Port St John's or elsewhere as well. Heading to Shelly Beach in 2 weeks time any guidelines or tips for the area? Thanks bru
Jigging is illegal period under South Africa 🇿🇦.. You ( example ) throw treble hooks and drag it and just hook a fish in the back tail abdomen etc and pull it out . It’s not fishing
@@beastmode3502 thank you. As I said new to the sport. I thought jigging in The sense of rubber tail or lure. I appreciate you explaining that to me. Thanks again.
Illegal jigging practice is with treble hooks and you cast into the shoal and forcefully try and tow a fish out of the water! Fishing with lures any type of lure is not illegal jigging because with lures you are mimicking a fish or bait movement and you entice the fish to bite. So 2 different methods hope that helps
@@KentsFishing thanks bru that really helps never being jigging and atleast I know now about that. Want to try and catch some nice fish on light tackle for the fight and see how that goes. Should be some nice fun messing around.
Genuine question - why is this form of jigging illegal but the 'Jig and drop' method used by many "pro's" during the sardine run not? Surely there is a chance to jig game fish amongst the sards?
Hi Gerhard, Darren and I have also been asking that question. I don’t like the drop shot jig drop into the sards for the same reason. Lure fishing totally different story. There’s no striking and hitting and hoping if you reeling in a paddle tail or a buck tail or a spoon etc etc
@Gerhard vd Walt ,my understanding is when you jigging 'jig and drop' during the Sardine run the intention is to jig a Sardine and then that sardine will then be left in the water as your live bait or bait for a game fish. When those guys are Jigging for the Garrick they are intentionally targeting the Garrick and you can see their rigs are set up to hit Garrick not a bait fish. @Kents Fishing would my review of the two Jigging methods be correct and can you confirm as I am not sure is the Jig and drop method for the sardine legal ? My understanding is all forms of Jigging with a few trebbles on your line and no bait is illegal.
@@allistairleong6755 hi 👋 yes you have explained both methods correctly. Unfortunately only the jigging method used to jig Garrick with treble hooks and no bait is deemed illegal. The jig and drop method you described used in the sardine run is still legal. Yep I know, sounds crazy but ya. I myself will not practice this method. Thanks Alistair and take care
Try Salaka nature reserve if open fish at night very safe hit my best ever kob there at about 10pm at nighty, at birds rock caught shad and hooked a big shark on a live shad, caught huge bronze bream on the side of Bird rock, just for future reference
Hi Joel, Vernon from the Spotted Grunter was kind enough for him to work with us over those 3 days. My understanding is that he works for the resort and so you would need to go via Vernon. This is why I didn’t punt his details. Thanks for the support and take care
Hi I'm looking to update my fish tools like rod and reel I a old blue marlin g3 tls and speed master I kob and steenbras most of the time help plz my old tools work like new. Help kent
Boy! Do u think that's a climbing mission I will take u to my gillies house, in the location, we slide down all the way on our butts and climb back up on all 4s,but the bronze bream are huge, 3 to 4kg every throw, it's right at the bottom to the left of the gap, I am about 135kg,thats my 3 years worth of gym😁😁😁
Im confused? I thought jigging is allowed for fishing? Or is it only off shore? Surely drop shot and plug throwing is jigging. I mean you even rig a plastic to a jig head?
Hi Glenn, the illegal jigging we refer to is a practice where a trace with 3 / 4 sometimes 5 treble hooks are attached to a heavy sinker line. The angler then casts this into the Garrick that are making their way to the river and estuary to spawn. The angler the forcefully tries to jig one of these fish swimming past on its side or where ever they can hook the fish. Some fish get away but then are scared badly making them vulnerable to predators and they could die. These fish are breeding stock and if they are forcefully removed like this then we might not have Garrick fish in the future. Lure fishing with jig heads / paddle tail/ rapala etc is something totally different. Fish are not forcefully jigged out of the water. When we fish with these we are mimicking the movement of bait fish to entice fish to take the lure. Very different to illegal jigging. Our intention when we fish for these game fish is for the sport , take a photo and safely release them. I hope to get a tagging kit so that I could help tag these fish to aid the study and science of fish. I hope this helps. There’s also info on the net about illegal jigging. Thanks and take care
@@KentsFishing awesome info Kent. Sad to see this happening. We do not seem to have the same issues in Cape Town. Its bound to happen given where PSJ is located. Locals have not rule of law ethics for generations.
Absolutely! There’s no excuse for littering. I truly hope that through my videos people will be more considerable and also fish responsibly! Thanks Karl, take care
Hi Tom, it has slowed down a lot. The last report from PSJ 2 weeks ago said there were Garrick caught and no sign of Jigging 💪🏼 let’s hope it stays that way

The jigging is horrendous. Not to mention the amount of litter on the rocks. Not pleasant to fish in other peoples waste.
