  • In episode two of our fishing trip in the Transkei we found a shoal of kob! Nqabara is truly a fishing paradise, Being such a remote fishing spot it is a real gem! we start the day of by scratching for blue fish or as the are known bronze bream. After a very successful morning with the blue fish we packed up and went on the hunt for some kob water to see if we can catch some kob. Needless to say, we found them! we also caught a good number of black mussel crackers a.k.a black steenbras or poenskop!

    Awesome fishing guys. Just wish more anglers would do what you guys are doing down here in Cape Town at Macasar and Strandfontein, instead of seeing how many big cob can be caught and taken home. Yes nothing wrong with taking one home but try releasing more to preserve the stocks. Enjoyed the video, keep it up.

      True! But not just in Cpt… all over S.A👌🏻

      They should maybe relook at the daily limits in Falsebay then. Seeing that the limit is 5 in Cape Town but only one up the eastern cape. And the size limit is smaller in Cape Town 🤷🏻‍♂️ still wish that could be explained to me

      @@Seegsoutdoor the difference is that the kob east of Algalhus is dusky kob and west is silver kob. Duskies females only mature around 1m and males around 110cm or other way around I am not too sure. But the sexually mature way later than Silver kob. Silver kob sexually mature around 55cm. Silver kob also has a more successful breading pattern to that of a dusky kob. So the ratio of the offspring to that of a dusky is higher. So in short Silver kob are faster breeders than dusky kob.

    Hi guys. Love the videos. Would like you to know that here in California we name your Kob, White Sea Bass. They look very similar.

      Hi, 0,55mm is hook snoot is the thickness of the mono for the trace. Fixed trace is when your sinker doesn’t slide and is fixed to your swivel🤙🏻

    Lekker Xander 🤙 if you don’t mind my weekly question. I noticed in your old videos you had a gomexus knob on your stellas. Now you use the standard knob. Is there a reason ?

    • @zoolookfishing
      @zoolookfishing  Před rokem +1

      Yeah, the qomexus handle tend to slip when it is wet. I prefer the original Shimano handle. 🤙🏻

    I have a question/advice needed , I have a Daiwa Saltis 40 multiplier paired with a Daiwa Saltis 13”6 medium multiplier rod- I want to spool the reel with some mono backing and braid main line, mainly targeting large cob and mussel crackers - what’s your recommendation on backing and main line and lengths - thanks in advance.

    • @stephenweber744
      @stephenweber744 Před rokem

      One more question please, I use a Okuma Azores Xp8000 on a Precision 14 rod for mainly rocks targeting medium edibles and scratching as well as throwing soft paddle tails, currently I’m finding braid doesn’t hold up well so reefs and rocks even with a 5m flouro leader, would you recommend me changing to a braid backing with a mono main line - I mainly use 30lb Jarvis Walker mono which seems to take a lot of punishment - in your opinion would you go this route or rather try a more robust braid - if so what’s your recommendation - thanks in advance.

    • @zoolookfishing
      @zoolookfishing  Před rokem

      Hi, let me get it straight… you want to put the braid as a topshot on the multiplier to use as mainline?

    • @zoolookfishing
      @zoolookfishing  Před rokem +1

      I use braid amongst the rocks all the time and it holds up, dont use a 5m flouro or mono leader rather use a thick braided leader such as a 100lb or 120lb braided leader of 5-7m then add about a 1m of mono before you attach your trace that mono should be at least as thick as your hook trace
