Transkei SHAD || South African Fishing Tour Ep 5

When fishing the Transkei or Wild Coast one of the main species you catch while fishing is Shad. Fishing for Shad can be really exciting especially when there is a big shoal of Shad around. I had some great Shad fishing in the Transkei. I hope you enjoy this Wild Coast shad fishing in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Nice Shad pretty sad about the litter on the beautiful Transkei coast

[@AlfiesFishingAdventures]

I'm glad you enjoyed it...It is a shame that most fishing destinations have problems with litter. I wish anglers respected the locations that we fish.....Thanks for your comment and if you haven't yet, feel free to subscribe so you don't miss out on more videos...😎

What spinning rod where you using here if I may ask

[@AlfiesFishingAdventures]

How many of you use single hooks on your lures?

[@craiggriffin341]

for certain species i'll go a single, especially if you want to release. I find using a stinger string instead of split rings and swivels with a single hook works better, always hooked in the corner of the mouth. trebles for shad and katonkel

[@thejuicypickle5659]

hey what rod do you use to fish from the banks

[@AlfiesFishingAdventures]

I have a number of rods that I use. The one I use for shad is the Diawa Excellor 11ft. Great seeing another comment from you.....I am glad you are enjoying the videos.😀

[@biggamehunter_78]

What rod and reel are you using?

[@AlfiesFishingAdventures]

In terms of rods my light tackle rod is a Diawa excellor and the heavy is an Assasin Spin XH. I'd recommend a reel with a good drag that matches each rod. 30lb braid on the light 50lb on the heavy. I hope that helps. Thanks for the comment and if you haven't yet feel free to subscribe so that you don't miss out on more videos.😎
