Rudi Smit Garrick on live-bait

Rudi Smit Garrick on live-bait

There was one beach buggy in the carpark before me at The Block in Port Shepstone, this morning. The guy went down to the rocky pool at the base of the point, and threw his cast net. One decent mullet. He moves on up to The Block and launches his 8Oz grapnel with the wind right over the backline. He slides his mullet down and waits patiently. Not for long. The rod starts bouncing in it’s holder and Rudi Smit sets the hook with a few pumps. Vas!

He fights the fish expertly and after 10 minutes has the fish right up the rocks at The Block. Very dangerous situation with all those sharp edges. His fishing buddy has rocked up and climbs down to get the fish…and almost loses when he pulls on the leader and it comes loose!!!

And it all panned out in the end…

Phew!
Vat hom fluffy!
