Big Fish!!at Margate

Some fair-sized Garrick have arrived along the south coast with the start of the Sardine run 2024. Some good fish taken at the Margate Pier as well as other deeper water spots along the coast. This fisherman at the pier was lucky to harvest 2 fish.

Morning, another lekker video. I got my first garrick on a live shad off that corner when I was twelve years old. It was in the middle of the holiday season. We used to call the pier a "bamboo forest" in the holiday season because there was hardly any space to fish, lol. I would come from Nippers catch a shad and then put it out across the bay because there was no space in the front. My father "Clyde Sheppard" would be there to help coach me. Great memories. Thanks for the videos.

@@FishingwithClyde Hi Clyde,thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate that you enjoy the videos and sharing your experiences fishing here, with us. It's school holiday at the moment,so most mornings on the pier, at the moment,are reminiscent of a bamboo plantation...especially when the shad are on the bite. We will definitely slide for a garrick on the Orange Rocks side soon..

Try zooming into the water like when you saw the garrick running & when the fisherman caught one

@@yusufrb1 Hello Yusuf..thanks for watching, and the comment, your observation is noted..the gopro camera is restricted when it comes to the zoom function...it can't zoom in unfortunately...the chases happen so fast and are difficult to capture on camera..your timing has to be just right at the moment of action...I may get lucky sometime..stay blessed and tight lines!!👍
