Fishing: Margate Pier

Shad season is open

[@Mikey4808]

I'm enjoying your videos. Really appeals to the common fisherman. Simple rigs, rods and reels. No complicated traces, methods and ridiculously expensive tackle. Just simple fishing. Loving it!

[@TrueNorthFishing]

Yes, not everyone can afford expensive equipment. My rods and reelsare still old school. Had them now for many years.

Great content and well presented. Thanks for bringing the scenic KZN South Coast to everyone. Would be great to see you target other species as well.

[@TrueNorthFishing]

Thank you, I am targeting other species, they just not biting but they can't hide for ever...

[@jacosteenekamp5836]

Hi it is Jaco Steenekamp, my grandfather stayed at Margate nearly 40 years, l was fishing all over the area, do you Brny Cola, Hans and Postumis Brothers. I als enjoy kite fishing.

[@TrueNorthFishing]

I do not recall those names, but one thing I know is that Kite fishing died out, you just dont see it anymore....

We call this fish bluefish in the United states they get up to 30 pounds

[@TrueNorthFishing]

That is huge, The South African record is 22 pounds, 10.2 kg as far as I know

[@sprolyborn2554]

@@TrueNorthFishing they havent been like that here in a long while sadly. i think that 30lb record was caught in the 70s. nowadays bluefish or as you know them shad in the US will run 15lbs maybe if you're really fortunate will tag the 20lb mark in the northeast portion of the country.

[@TrueNorthFishing]

It seems those big ones were all from a long time ago. No one breaks record's now days

[@shivashsunker4075]

Trim off the tail, from experience, you'll get a faster hook up

[@TrueNorthFishing]

I have seen many guys do that.. Helps the bait from spinning also

[@riashengaming2.087]

This day was the last time I fished with my uncle he passed away two weeks later of covid

[@TrueNorthFishing]

Thats very sad... Yes even when we fish, we have to take care of this virus thing... Be safe out there guys...

[@faizkhandbnsa]

For legal length purposes shad must be measured as full length from tip of the mouth to the tip of the tail, not where you measured it at forklength, forklength is measured for length to weight calculations. Reason for my comment is because u kept on mentioning legal size. But you didn't use the correct method.

[@TrueNorthFishing]

That is correct, it is measured in over-all length. I will correct that in the next video. Thank you for correcting the issue.
