How to READ THE WATER FOR GALJOEN! How to identify where Galjoen feed! Fishing for GALJOEN TIPS!

[@wernerdiffenthal6771]

loves this Vid brother. Especially the time you took to explain where the ideal spot is and when. Actually showing the viewer makes a huge difference. It is sooooo NB that we keep on education ourselves regarding the water and surroundings as it has a direct impact on our results. Keep them coming brother en STYWE LYNE CHOMMA!! blessings from the Helderberg in Strand!

[@hookngrill]

Spot on!! Many people expect to get fish on every outing, where in reality, its not that simple. I’ve made so many videos for my channel and ended up not posting it because I blanked😅 Thanks for your honesty 💪🏼🎣🎣🎣

[@zoolookfishing]

Well said!

[@sugenmoodley5872]

Àlways appreciated Xander. Thanks for the uploads. Thank you for the time and effort.

[@julianvanniekerk82]

Nice one Xander. I like how you lined your fingers up with the spots in the ocean you're talking about at the time. Most guys talk about structure and white water in their videos without specifically pointing it out. That helped me a lot, thanks!

[@zoolookfishing]

Shot🤙🏻 thanks man🎣

[@musaadfelton3909]

Xander. What a way to keep a person captivated. You figured out how to make the videos great. When it comes to quality of the footage and the editing of the music and the scenery as well as the knowledge you put out there for us as beginner fishermen. I have been fishing for probably 10 years but my father was not really into fishing. He introduced me into fishing with a hand line. Showed me how to tie the hook and put an alikreukel on the hook. Caught a blaas op vissie. However so I only fished probably once or twice a year for the past 10 years. I was hooked from that first puffer fish but couldn't get out there as much. Now in the last 2 years. I am married and have my own life and able to spend more time for fishing. But I have no one to learn from. I always ask the fellow fisherman next to me wherever I go and so far I caught a few fish. I am able to cast better than the average fisherman. So I appreciate your videos because I learn from it. Thanks Xander. And as a guy who is hooked on fishing. I just think about fishing. So besides learning about fishing. I just love watching videos about fishing and yours are great.

[@zoolookfishing]

Wow! Thanks man! I appreciate it! Keep the lines tight bud!

[@stahlzahpilze]

Thanks so much for this video. Since moving down here to Kleinbrakrivier last year, your videos have proven to be immeasurably important to how I've prepared to fish here. Please never stop the videos!!! Can't wait for the next 1.

[@zoolookfishing]

Awesome man! Thanks! I wont stop making them, then you have to keep watching them🤣

[@trevinolawrencio2851]

This is soo true...fishing consistantly will get you something but you not always going to catch...Thanks Xander for your time and effort to educate and showing us your fishing trips,i've been out fishing for the past 3 weekends but caught nothing😂but thats why we keep going back ... Btw you need to come to kzn in summer for some flat fish🔥

[@zoolookfishing]

thanks man!

[@sajeelpurnwassi3302]

Lekker video boet one question would you ever do a video on how catch shad that's if you do fish for them

[@hendrikvandermerwe3970]

Jis. To catch shad is the same as kabeljou. Use two hooks. One with piltcher and one with white mussel. Dont use funny dips and thing use fresh bait.

[@joshuaaanhuizen2231]

[@rolandbailey2394]

Great vid as usual. Having local knowledge is the most important thing to have. You can spend thousands of pounds / Rand. On tackle. It will not catch you anymore fish if you don't have local knowledge. As we say in England. Tight lines. Hope you are feeling better.

[@cococalm]

Great video. Here is a question . The beginner rock angler loses a lot of kit, sinkers, hooks and swivels. Could you maybe do a video on how to reduce the losses of kit ; firstly for the beginner who is still discovering the sport, but secondly, the ecological impact the "debris" left kn the ocean could cause with the byproduct- ensnared wild life, plastic polution and even tidal wash injuries to fishermen and beach goers. Thank you. I live in Switzerland now but your videos bring me many great memories of my summer holidays fishing in the eastern cape.

[@jacobenade3115]

I remember 45 years ago in keuboom strand when I braaied a galjoen with tomatoes and onions in the cavity I never tasted a better fish since

[@Saltatrix1]

Uitstekende video! Galjoen hengelaars en manne wat dalk sukkel om Galjoen te vang sal dit waardeer en baat by jou goeie verduideliking en kennis. Janee jy soek hom in sterkerige see waar die water mooi werk, net daar tel hy jou rooi-asie op en dan jaag hy sommer ook jou hart-tempo op. Hy is 'n bielie van 'n vis! Dankie!

[@acidreiin7468]

Hi there great video as always, if you dont mind, can you please do a video on how to fish with circle hooks. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. I recently started using circles and I get the good bites but the hookup rate isn't as good as I would like. Only about 40% of the fish actually get hooked. Thanks once again .

[@zoolookfishing]

I will see what i can do! Do use a snell knot and do you present the bait correct?

[@acidreiin7468]

@@zoolookfishing Thanks much appreciated! I do use a Snell Knot and I do present the bait well. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, the 20/0 circle hook works well for Rays and Shark, it's just that I dont know what I'm doing wrong for these small fish such as black tail and bronze bream etc. The hook I use is the right size, it's just the hookup rate isn't as good as with a J but I've noticed using a circle when reef fishing works well

[@wesseloosthuizen1022]

Thanks vir die effort great video soos altyd. Kan jy volgende keer bietjie meer uitbrei oor die kondisies om te hengel soos wind / water tempratuur etc. vir die Suidkus. Partykeer lyk die see perfek maar die water te koud of te warm. Wat in jou opinie is die ideale kondisies vir hengel of verskil dit te groot van plek tot plek . Miskien kan jy vir ons vertel wat se kondisies het 'n ou nodig vir daai wereld waar jy hengel.

[@aitorgarcia5491]

Hi Xander. I'm staying in Cape Town untill the end of May and i want to fish as many species as I can before I leave. I got my permit yesterday and I also tried some places in the west of false bay but didn't seem easy to fish due to the wind and waves. I don't know if it's always that way but I'd like to know from you any nice places to target the most iconic species. Spinning and light rockfishing are my ways so any place with accesible coastline and predator species like Kob, Grunter, Grouper, Yellowtail and similar would be great. Always Catch and Release. Aitor

[@dee-jaylombard5663]

Thanks for the very educational video Xander. Just one question, do you guys never get stuck on the rocks or do you edit it out😅. 90 percent of the time when I'm at the rocks I get stuck or the fish go in between the rocks and I lose my line.

[@LambertFick]

Ek dink mense sal stom wees as hulle "duik", want dan sien jy werklik wat en hoe die vis in hul habitat fuksineer en waarom sekere dinge werk en soms nie werk nie. Soms is daar regtig nie vis nie. Wat ek wel kan noem is, dat vis werklik sku is weens die feit dat hulle weet dat hulle ook prooi is terwyl hulle ook wil eet, maar hul oorlewiginstink is meer entesief en groter as die beste aas en hul eet behoeftes. Jou aas kan ook net met minder as 30cm buite bereik wees, of te diep lê. Wat belangrik is dat jy gereëld amper niks vis sien nie, of net 'n paar van 'n sekere/een enkele spesie sien. Wat algemeen is, is daai ou wat die ondermaat vis vang en net daar langs hom onder die sand begrawe en voortgaan met sy hengel. Daai era waar viertuie op die kus kon ry het veroorsaak dat meer kon vang as wat hulle sou kon dra. Ons betaal al lank 'n duur prys daarvoor. Daai ou op 'n kaai wat met 'n hanlyn met 20-30 klein vissies, wat hy al gevang het, wat môre se grootes moes wees, en daar by hom lê en dit as 'n vangs beskou. Waar iets soos swartmossels al wat 'n rots insig bedek het, is al kaal geplunder.
