Well gedaan vriend! Baie mooi vis! Baie danlie vir die tips!
New fisherman here… good lessons
Love the video
Some use 4 to 4.5 pound mono ,
For a competition fight .
But 8 pound mono is a fight for sure .
12 pound or 15 pound is almost no fight .
The rods are optional .
A lead is also optional ,
But if the mono or line is thicker than 8 pound then use a 8 pound lead .
No need to hunt a grunter like a buck ever ,
That's a fallacy ,
But likewise take Miagi wisdom 😂
do what Miagi told Daniel-son ,
Stand a bow not bow ' " bow "
... AND NO SCARE FISH ! '
Grunter on a drift no sinker , just a swivel ,
Or light running sinker ,
Or fixed sinker - size pending conditions .
Grunted can be caught on a
1-0
2-0
Or 3-0
As for easy to catch
That depends .
Sometimes you will see a thousand tails , but not one will bite .
Catch and release
Catch and release into the pan or on the braai grid or in foil on the grid or coals .
But never take a undersized fish
And always only take what you are permitted ( Or can eat as is permitted )
NATURE IS ALMIGHTY GOD IN MOTION
ALWAYS RESPECT GOD'S NATURE
ALWAYS RESPECT AND SHOW REVERENCE TO GOD FOR WHAT HE PROVIDES
I AM A god
CHRIST IS THE LORD
JAH BLESS ...
🙏👍🏻👏🏻🔥🚶♂️
Nice video. Thanks. I am going to try for these at the Breede next week.
Awesome tackle presentation tks
Beautiful fishing Hardus . 😃🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🤙🏻
Thanks for the video. Brought back some awesome memories for us. My family and I caught some beautiful Grunters in that very water. The sound of that reel though👌🏼
Asharuf Moorad glad you enjoyed it. Always fun there and Yes those bigger grunters gives you a proper run for your money. Cheers
Baie dankie. kwaai video. my grootste grunter was 16kg. baie trots
Watching from Cebu Master keep safe always keep vlogging your fishing body here ⛵ 🐟 🎣
Thanks Kevin, appreciate the feedback
Great video! Keep them coming!
Dankie Deon!!
Very interesting is how a grunter feeds
A grunter stands vertical over a prawn hole ,
In the shallows pending lighting conditions ,
One can see part of the grunter , and sometimes even half of the grunter out of the water with its tails and body glistening and sparkling like diamonds reflecting in the early morning rays of the sun's shine as it begins the earth's glorious awakening along the river banks ...
The grnter vertical with tail flapping and body movement is called tailing by some ,
Blowing for prawns by others .
The grunter in spectacular GODLY FASHION BLOWS WATER INTO A PRAWN HOLE and then circles the muddy malaise snapping up it's meal .
Thus one sees or hears or hears and then looks and sees
" THE SPLASHING OF THE GRUNTER ! "
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO SEE HUNDREDS PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF TAILS / SPLASHING GRUNTER ALL AT ONES IN A GODLY DISPLAY
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS
ON THE CENTER RIVER BANK
AT SWARTKOPS RIVER IN PORT ELIZABETH EARLY MORNING
I was not there to fish
But rather to enjoy the HODLY SUNRISE
Watch GRUNTER SPLASH
And Large Grey Heron hunt
And Turns turn in the sky and drop into the water for their catch
And kingfisher dive likewise and splash
And an array of aquatic life
JAH CREATION ...
THANK YOU FOR THE VID MATE ...
JAH BLESS ONE AND ALL ...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video Bru.
Thanks Bru, appreciate the feedback
Daai is die Way Pa !! Experience speaks !
William Gunnels thanks William
Baie handige advies, dankie!
Awesome tech talk and video .guys
Thanks Rakesh. Appreciate it
Awesome video bud 👌..i would love to see you do some light tackle spinning. Keep it up!
Muhammed Seedat think that is the next video to do or soon. Thanks man. Appreciate it
I hope to see u guys try this in durban harbour.. lets see if it works
The second of the video seems to be on the farm, caught nice fish there
Jip that is on Gielies farm. Yes, some nice fish there to be caught if there are not too many people around.
Nice. I spent a week at Witsand and didn't get a nibble. Next time, I will use your advice. Thanks
Yes, sometimes they are difficult but I am sure if you follow some of the tips I gave in the video you will get one. Use sightfishing very early morning walking on the banks. Just stalk them quietly without them seeing you and cast without a weight. You should get them.
Ons was 2 weke terug in Kaap in Fanta oor kan Witsand en Elf gevang.
Nice video Hardus. As ek weer aan daai kant is moet ons n lyntjie gaan nat maak. Ken daai area nie baie goed nie. Ek hengel meeste van die tyd maar Valsbaai.
Weereens well done en mooi verduidliking van terminal tackle ens.
Stywe lyne pel en dalk eendag kan ons n plan maak.
Thanks Marius, yes ons kan so maak ja. Baie fun!!
@@HardusLategan kan ek jou dalk kontak? Weet dis dodge op youtube maar kan ek jou dalk op fb kontak en details ruil? Wil jou n tinkle gee as dit moontlik is. Weet nie hoe anders om te maak. Eks half tegnologies gestremd 🤣
@@mariusbarnardo5592 geen probleem
@@HardusLategan thanks buddy.... Net gou besig om gerei te pak ens. Add jou netou en dm jou my nommer. Dan kan jy net n whatsapp stuur en ek bel jou. Thanks ou maat, gesels nou nou
Hi frome South Africa if neer Durban visit my home town of Umkommas .Thanks for the help
100% what you say. People dont realise how easily fish are spooked. Making any noise on a boat or walking in the water is heard. Fish hear you and see you from far away and they are gone. And the vaalies come in their big boats and chase all the fish away lol.
Great video! Ek het subscribe. Stap julle teen rivier op? Is daai baai ver vanaf lodge?
Roeds Botha yes ja, ons stap tot by daai baai. Glad nie ver nie. Stap nog al die jare daarnatoe
Hi there man. Im a beginner fisherman but i am falling inlove with it at the moment. I go whenever i get a chance these days lol. My question is, i find they bite my prawn off quite easily. I fish in swartkops in port elizabeth. Any further advice on this? Also, what is your advice for my area being very windy? because you said the sound of the sinker kind of chases them away.. Thanks so much! :)
Hi there, sorry for only replying now. Somehow missed the notification of your comment. Well, it sometimes happen in the Breede River when the tide is too high and too much salt water from the sea pushes the more sea species in with the tides like stumpnose, blacktail etc. Those are the main critters taking your bait of your hook. A grunter won’t take the prawn off your hook as it sucks the entire prawn in and should hook as it swims away. Try and fish more on the lower tide and find shallow areas where you can see the actual fish tailing or making sand or mud clouds. Then you are in their area and have much more success. Walk up and down next to the river and look for them. I hope this helps as that is the first thing I would do if I fish a new river. Good luck
@@HardusLategan Perfect, will do. Thank you so much for the info. Appreciate it!
Soveel geleer v die video. Chris hier v Knysna. Vang jy inkomende gety of uitgaande gety, baie dankie geniet jy kundigheid.
sal die setup werk ook vir blacktails?
Trek jul die prawn voor jul visvang en wat is die beste manier om die prawn vars te hou, indien dit die vorige dag getrek word?
Boela du Preez Hi Boela, ja ek maak seker ek trek prawn die vorige dag veral as ek vroeg wil gaan hengel met eerste lig. Grootste geheim is om nie die mudprawn in water te los nie anders raak hy pap en vrek. Jy trek so bossie van daai rivier gras af en spoel dit af in die rivier sodat die modder van dit af is. Pak n laag van die klam gras en dan so paar prawn en nog gras bo op as jy klaar is. Sit dit dan in n koue plek soos in n kas waar dit pik donker is. Vat n houertjie rivier water saam huistoe. Elke 4ure of so gooi ek die water oor die prawn en los vir n paar minute en gooi weer die water af dat al die water weer uit die bak is. Dit sal maklik twee dae hou. Moet net nie dat dit warm word nie
Do a video for garrick please🤩
It is on my list. Lockdown just buggered up all my plans for now. Will do it in the near future
Hardus Lategan Fishing Adventures will greatly appreciate that🐟
How far up stream do you go? Is it witsand side you fish from?
Glenn Roberts Hi there, Yes on the Witsand side. I sight fish, so I only move if I don’t see fish anymore. I dont go further than Groenpunt.
Baie dankie, hoe weet jy waar die grunter stops is ?
Plesier man, jammer, ek verstaan nie mooi nie. Die Grunter “Stops”?? Bedoel jy spots? Wel as dit die vraag is, ek soek hulle op vlak modder areas terwyl die gety sak. Ek soek waar hulle tail en waar ek hulle sien fisies. Dis baie meer guaranteed dat jy vis gaan kry. Stap baie vroeg oggend en laat middag en hou die water dop.
What is the best baits for the grunter?
Mudprawn, bloodword and tape worm
What is spotted grunter called in Afrikaans please and is it good eating. Maybe a video on cooking it will be good.
It is caller a Knorhaan. One of my top 3 fish to eat ever(and I have had most fish cooked in many ways). Such delicate meat.
And I will do a catch cook soon. Always wanted to. Thanks for the suggestion
Jis maar Morne het 'n lekker pens aan hom
Hahahahaha
Please catch and release we all want to still catch grunters in the Breede in 20 years or keep them all and it can be empty in a decade
Wanneer verwag Morne?
Braai time
