The Humble Fisherman
Добавлен 19 фев 2023
My name is Richard Grimett and I am based in Durban, South Africa. The majority of my videos center around catches made in and around Durban, although from time to time I will feature catches from the north and south coast of Kwazulu Natal Province, as well as Eastern Cape province. Share my excitement as I catch a number of different species on artificials. I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions, I am always open to discussion. Cheers, The Humble Fisherman
78 cm Shad Blue Lagoon 15 October 2024
This was caught whilst targeting Garrick, and even though I landed it, the fish was returned to the water. PLEASE RESPECT THE CLOSED SEASON FOR SHAD FROM 01 OCTOBER TO 30 NOVEMBER!!! Sometimes you can't stop them from biting, but don't be that guy, please respect the rules for the sake of our children and our children's children. Noeby A6 for Surf spinning rod, Noeby Infinite SW 8000 reel with Noeby Infinite braid. Garrick was picked up on a Noeby heavy sinking stick bait. See the Noeby collection at noebysouthafrica.com

Probably the worst Garrick season I have ever had, this is the second Garrick lost in a week. That's why they call it fishing and not catching. Noeby A6 for Surf spinning rod, Noeby Infinite SW 8000 reel with Noeby Infinite braid. Garrick was picked up on a Noeby heavy sinking stick bait. See the Noeby collection at noebysouthafrica.com

Early morning session saw a smaller pick-handle Barracuda fall prey to the Sensation Funky Walker. Always fun seeing the water explode and going tight!

When Mullet take stick-baits.....

This must have been a very hungry mullet to take a large stick-bait.....not the way I saw me christening my brand new Noeby A6 for Surf spinning rod, and my very awesome Noeby Infinite 8000 reel, along with a Noeby Heavy sinking stick-bait....but hey, I will take it.
GT Blue Lagoon Durban 16 Sep 2024
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.3 месяца назад
Using an Okuma Matrix 10ft with ITX 4000, I was throwing a Rapala Crush City Impostor hoping to hook up with a nice Pommie when this GT picked me up instead. Sadly just towards the end of the video it turned on me and swam towards me very quickly and I couldn't keep enough tension on the line. Good move GT, you win. Hook simply came away. Good fun all the same.
Double Shad Blue Lagoon Durban night spinning session May 2024
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.7 месяцев назад
When the shad start feeding on the mullet, spinning is fun at night. This was a difficult session as the Umgeni river was draining from the outgoing tide, lots of hyacinth and debris coming down as well as a very strong current. That made fighting and landing fish in this water quite challenging, especially on light tackle. I hooked, four, landed two. The first 2 shad were just too strong and b...
81cm Shad (Tailor, Blue-Fish) Blue Lagoon Durban South Africa May 2024
Просмотров 17 тыс.7 месяцев назад
A nice 81cm (About 7kg) Shad taken off Blue Lagoon in Durban on a PASSION BAITS BIG STICKY XL in May 2024. It smashed the lure on the surface, and gave a massive run of about 50 meters before getting airborne. At first I thought it was a Garrick, was pleasantly surprised to see a shad.

GT Destroyed me North Pier Durban 18 Feb 2024
Просмотров 41310 месяцев назад
Giant Trevally AKA Giant Kingfish AKA Caranx Ignobilis. Pound for pound probably one of the strongest fighting fish in the ocean. On this day I was throwing for Kob with a 6 inch McCarthy paddle tail in hot orange. The GT picked me up right before the rocks, a mere 5 meters away, and peeled line off in spectacular fashion. Unfortunately I missed the first 3 or so minutes of the fight, but got t...
KOB North Pier Durban 01 FEB 2024
Просмотров 11610 месяцев назад
Yet another Kob taken on a McCarthy Paddle tail in hot orange...please note my fingers were not in the fishes gills but rather in the gill pouch that Kob have. I do NOT advocate picking up ANY fish in the gills, so please avoid it all costs. Also, I am extremely passionate about catch and release. I release almost every fish I catch, with the exception of those that get damaged by sharks or if ...
Kob North Pier Durban December 2023
Просмотров 11110 месяцев назад
Fishing a McCarthy Paddle tail 6inch in Hot Orange and a 2 Oz jighead at North Pier can be very successful for Kob. Make sure you cast it out deep and far, and work with 3 upwards sweeps, let it sink, and repeat.

Is McARTHY PADDLE TAILS good?
Well done for putting it back.
Good👍
What a fckn slab . We catch those big ones in the cape too !
Lekke shad, you almost lost it... Luckily ur spiderman instincts kicked in 😅
What a bus
Nice one Dude!!!
Know the matrix is a soft rod....but gotta tighten up and bully harder
Cheers Don, but the limiting factor in this instance was the 15lbs braid....the Matrix has landed me some big fish before, so wasn't worried about the rod...
What action do you use on this prawn bro, and how do you work this, I have a few crush city rapalas, fished them quite a lot, and can't get going. Much appreciated bro.
Slow twitch on the bottom, try and imitate movements of a normal prawn...
🎣 Reel Bond fishing, on yt is in Durban too. They often fish Umkomaas areas. Maybe join them on a shore angling adventure, ? 🎣
I actually subscribe to them, love their work. Very wholesome and enjoyable indeed! Would certainly join on a session if an opportunity presented itself
🎣 Nice fish,...
well done. What gear are you using? Where is this?
Nice man, ill have to come join you
Really nice to see such a mature and healthy shad. If people stop bagging undersize shad, catching fish of this size would become a usual occurrence.
Top1
Richard, I need to pick your brain again. If you had one choice which rod would you choose? The loomis archipelago, the okuma matrix or the okuma recon 11ft rod?
Each rod you mention has its place and benefits. I like all three. I own the Matrix 10ft and the Loomis Archipelago 11ft xh, Matrix is by far the most versatile rod I own, it does NEARLY everything I need it to do, except the MUCH heavier stuff, hence the Loomis....
What fishing rod should you use to catch Shad at the Blue Lagoon?
Hi, there are many different options on the market, so many variables. What size reel do you use? Are you using bait or only spinning? Multiplier, conventional spinning reel or Center pin (KP, Alvey etc). Your best bet is to go to your local tackle store and ask advice based on the few things I have highlighted to you. I am sure they would give you the advice you need. If not, drop me an email at thehumblefisherman73@gmail.com and I will happily help where I can.
Please share your lure used
it says it in the description..
You are a sport bro. They asked and you gave!! GOD blesses you.
Very nice catch 😊
well done bud
Well done Sir
Howsit bro are you using the loomis archipelago 11ft extra heavy rod?
Hey bud, yes I am. I have that paired with the Penn Conflict 2 CFT Carbon Fibre 5000.
@@thehumblefisherman73keep up the awesome video's 👌🏻
Well done Richard 👏
How do you get to North pier anyways,I mean to fish. Don't you need a special permit
Hi there, yes, you need a Transnet permit in addition to your normal fishing license to fish North Pier. Unfortunately, I know they haven't issued permits in a good number of years...
Too many hand accessories. Its bad luck. You got bracelets both wrist and a special glove.
😀Bracelets? On the left is a wrist watch, on the right is my buff that I wear around my wrist before the sun comes up, and on my face when the sun is out. The finger glove is to stop braid cutting into your finger when cast 2-3 Oz lures and jig heads. Believe me, when you cast hundreds of casts to a session, that braid will cut the top of your finger off like a hot knife through butter. Nonetheless, thank you for your support in watching my videos.
What a fish wwell done
Nice one Richard
Cheers Danny
Nice one, Bud, it was a BIG 1
Well done Richard
Sorry bud, that must have been a Size one bud. What lure was It on.
Thanks bro, yes, it was a big boy for sure. Was actually throwing McCarthy paddle tails for Kob, in hot orange (6 inch) with 2 Oz jighead. Took me right at the rocks..
Is it grunting?
Baie nice
