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 ... 🙏👍🏻👏🏻🔥🚶‍♂️

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 ... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

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! :)

@HardusLategan 3 жыл бұрын

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

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.

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?

@HardusLategan 3 жыл бұрын

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

@michaldutoit4883 3 жыл бұрын

Baie dankie, hoe weet jy waar die grunter stops is ?

@HardusLategan 3 жыл бұрын

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.
