April being autumn in South Africa allows for some great fishing! weather patterns are starting to change as we are going over to winter! April is our peak time for ragged tooth sharks so I just had to make the best of the great weather we had! the rags played along for a change! I tried my luck on a black mussel cracker and succeeded to catch a young one on my first cast! it is always a privilege to catch an endemic specie like a black mussel cracker!

I met up with one of South Africas top lady anglers, Leensie De Villiers. Our goal for the day was to look for some big bronze whaler sharks or a ragged tooth! After netting some mullets amongst the waves with the cast net. We made some serious wades the surf to get our baits behind the back breakers in the open water, that is where the big sharks lurk! I was fortunate to hook a bronzy on my first cast and after a bit of I tussle landed a healthy female bronze whaler shark. Leensie had a brief encounter with one as well, but her leader was bitten off before the tussle started.

Stefan and I planned to fish Witsand, unfortunately the sea was unfishable when we got there. We quickly formulated a new plan and decided to travel up the river and cross the Breede river at Malgas and head to Infanta. we have never fished there before so this was total new grounds for us. We have heard about some great fishing there. It ended up to be a great day and we enjoyed ourselves with the sharks!

Kob/Mulloway fishing from the surf is my favourite type of fishing. I just love the challenge of hunting a specific specie, especially when that specie is a kob, from identifying the perfect sand bank to that destructive bite and head nods! I love it all! This specific day I headed out to fish for kob, but the main objection was for me to get my 9 year old son Xandré on a decent kob and to break his personal best! Just like his father Xandré loves his kob fishing! Not only did we manage to find Xandré's personal best, but we managed to double up, father and son both on with stunning kob! I am sure most grown men in South Africa would love to catch a kob like this. South Africa has some the biggest kob in the world these fish can grow to over 70kg. Mulloway or jewfish as they are called in Australia, is just asbig of a prized catch or soI have heard! Our day started of slow, we hooked the wrong species, but as we fished the hours away and the sun hit the horizon we finally had the succes that we where after!

I took Xandre on a quick afternoon session with the hopes of catching a kob. after we battled net live mullet, we headed down to the beach. The water looked really good for a kob. I had really high hopes the will hook and land a good number of kob. With the first live mullet being eaten by a kob within five minutes I thought it is game on. Unfortunately that was the only kob bite we had, shortly after the kob we started to catch some other species on the squid bait. our kob in South Africa is similar to the Mulloway a.k.a Jewfish that is found in Australia. buy ZJF merch and fishing tackle here: https://stilfishing.com/?ref=zlf to enter the competition to win a weekends fishing with me email: zoolookfishing@gmail.com https://web.facebook.com/ZooLookFishing/ https://www.instagram.com/xander_zoo_lookfishing/ https://www.paypal.me/zoolookfishing

Duvan gave me a call and said he is in my area and we should go and make a throw together. off we went with the heavy gear to target some bronze whaler sharks. we quickly found out that they were hungry, but unfortunately they disappeared just as fast as what they arrived. check out Duvan's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/DuvanvanBreda buy ZLF merch here: https://stilfishing.com/?ref=zlf contact me here: email: zoolookfishing@gmail.com https://web.facebook.com/ZooLookFishing/ https://www.instagram.com/xander_zoo_lookfishing/ https://www.paypal.me/zoolookfishing

After battling to find some good fish to film, Stefan and I decided to skip the filming and to take the lighter tackle and just scratch around on the sand banks to see what we can manage to catch in the hopes of getting some practice in before the nationals. we used double hook scratching traces to double our chances and to broaden our targeted species list. After a good few throws, Stefan and I each caught a beautiful kob. Watch as I talk you guys through what happened as well as show you guys the trace and talk about the formation that we fished. to buy some ZLF merch along with some fishing tackle and gear, click on the link below: https://stilfishing.com/?ref=zlf To enter the lucky draw to win a fishing weekend with me or for any business enquiries email: zoolookfishing@gmail.com social media: https://web.facebook.com/ZooLookFishing/ https://www.instagram.com/xander_zoo_lookfishing/ https://www.paypal.me/zoolookfishing

Xandre and I for a quick fishing session. I was not planning on filming the day, but I hooked into a big shark and was a in a bit of tricky situation as the shark was too big to land on my own in this foal fishing spot. I gave Xandre my cell phone and he filmed a bit with my phone while I puzzled how I am going to land this 300lb shark without any assistance. after a tricky and interesting fight around the rocks I managed to land the shark on a nearby beach. Then took some photos and released the shark safely! buy ZLF merch and fishing gear that I use here: https://stilfishing.com/?ref=zlf Business enquiries email: zoolookfishing@gmail.com https://web.facebook.com/ZooLookFishing/ https://www.instagram.com/xander_zoo_lookfishing/ https://www.paypal.me/zoolookfishing

We where very surprised when Stefan landed this blackfin shark! They are a more tropical specie and the occasional one occurs about 500km North from where we are. They are found in abundance from the Transkei and Wild coast of South Africa a staggering 1200km from where this one was caught, we reckon it might be the most furthest South a Blackfin shark has ever been caught in South Africa. I took a chance to fish for a Ragged tooth shark and hooked into an absolute monster! This giant shark weighs more than my whole family. The length to weight conversion table puts this shark to 202kg, we estimate her to be close to 220kg as she was in great condition and had a massive girth! the ragged tooth shark had a whole Like always we handled the sharks with care close to the water, making sure that waves wash over the sharks every now and then so that they can get water flowing over their gills. We carefully removed the circle hooks and returned the sharks safely back in the ocean.
