Species | Kob

The Mighty Kob. This species has to be the most exciting fish to target from the beach across our whole country (minus the west coast).
There are more species than we realised and they're very similar. But if you have a good sense of smell, you might just be able to tell them apart.
Watch this video as Marine Biologist, Mike Dyer explains everything you need to know about the Kob. From their distribution to size limits and how to correctly measure a Kob to their preferred feeding methods.

Can I make a request for a water reading video

[@TheKingfisherFishing]

Yes absolutely. I think we'd need to do that one at the beach for better effect.

I think you nailed the reasons why only 5% of a health population remains at around 9 and 13min...
The breading size is 95cm in males and 105cm in females, but the legal size to keep kob is 40-60cm, meaning teenagers are removed before breeding, which is probably better that removing big breeding size kob. Would something like 40-80cm limit not be better to protect the species and let it recover...
Maybe time for fisheries to relook the legal size and limit...🙄

Why keep a kob? Eat a black tail or hake. Let these fish repopulate or your kids will never catch them
