Big Kob on a tiny hook while fishing for White Steenbras! Small hooks can catch big fish too!

Спорт

I went for a quick afternoon throw in the hopes of catching a white steenbras or a baardman! The session started off very slow. I decided to throw a small bait on a 2/0 circle hook. Not long and I convinced young white steenbras to eat my bait! some time went by and I decided to make the infamous last throw, that's when I really got lucky! My bait of choice was a small bloodworm on a tiny 2/0 circle hook! Once I hooked the fish, I knew I was in for a fight as I knew my tackle was boxing way below the fighting class! After taking my time and testing my patience I finally landed the massive kob! Kob go by names like daga Salmon, kabeljou and in Australia they are known as Mulloway or Jewfish.

    Hi Zander, thanks that you try to show us the how you read the gulley's and waves and banks. Can I ask how far, in this case with the bloodworm (your first) cast, was the "back" bank onto which you casted the bait? It's difficult to determine on the video.

Xander does a great job at promoting sustainable fishing practices. I wouldn’t like to see hundreds (if not way more) fishermen think it’s ok to keep prawns (or any other kinds of bait species) with eggs. When you have a large following you should strive to set the right example, right across the board.

    Hi Barry, yeah sorry about that. I try not to take those but they do slip through. I pumped on the low tide on the dry sand and not on the higher tide as one should do. So when the prawn is out I just see them moving underneath the sand,pick up and put it in the bucket. Usually when I see them full of eggs I leave them, but they do slip through from time to time.
