White STEENBRAS FISHING with a TWIST! MY MOST BIZARRE FISHING DAY EVER!!! CAN IT BE?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2022
- Winter is the time to fish for white steenbras, I really want to catch a huge white steenbras so with the first proper white steenbras conditions we went looking for them! We ended up to hook 17 monster fish on white sand crabs and all of them were lost, watch as the mystery unfolds! This was one bizarre fishing day and I have never in my life experienced a fishing day like this before!

A bad day fishing is beter than s good day at the office
Great video
Absolutely
We were also fishing a few months ago for Steenies with sand crabs and we caught quite a few good 10kg plus Steenies. In between we also had hookups of massive fish just taking line and would not stop till they broke us of. They usually run sideways about a hundred meters in a few seconds and then pop. We also suspected Bronzies especially considering the area we were in as we caught a lot of other sharks in between which we could land but sometimes they were just absolutely massive and did not give any line and would just run till they bit us off. For us this was the ordinary for a whole month of fishing the same spot with the same bait. Hearing you say it's unusual surprised me as it was the normal for us. We found that they would not miss the opportunity to eat a small crab if they had the chance. Hope this helps Xander if you want to know any more just ask. Love your videos man!
I checked the gut contents of fish I've caught for the last 40 years. Ocean fish often have crab remains inside. Sometimes a lot of very tiny crabs.
Ek smaak jou videos kwaai!! Mis nie een video nie. Ek leef myself so in, asof ek self daar saam met julle is.
Geniet jou vreeslik! Hou so aan Tjom. 🙏🙏🙏 Baie baie dankie
This is why we fish 🎣! Always amazed at what can happen
Put crab on steel and gooi
Awesome video💪🏼 but even though nothing was landed, you are still a pro and legend 🥇🏆💪🏼I'm a huge fan to ZLF 🙏🏼
Thanks bru!
Sandprawns. In Australia we have the exact same species but rarely that large. We call them saltwater yabbies. They live in the estuary sandflats.. Very interesting
What a video I felt like I was right there with you
Shot bru
Hy bru . Just a quick question . Do you prefer a stiff sand spike or one with some flex / bend . I also fish a grinder setup. Just saying in case there is a difference
What an amazing video Xander. It really shows the trials and tribulations of surf fishing and thank you that. You guys were hooking up 18 wheelers.😀 I had a good chuckle when the crab nipped you when you were baiting up the first time. Looking forward to next week's video.
Haha, ja he got me in between the fingers🤣
All I can say is MOER! Try a winch and some chain next time 😂. Well done for staying persistent bru. Those sharks weren't taking kak on this day lol.
Amazing, angling is truely a never ending learning cycle. Once you think you have a species figured out they turn around and surprise the crap out of you. Top footage and some amazing fights.
insane.i was glued from start to finish
Awesome video, top stuff guys, thanks for the video
What a mind blowing video , a sponsor's dream . I can't wait to get my champion 6
Thanks! They are amazing rods👌🏻
Very interesting man, seemed like a crazy sesh! 💣🔱
Flippi’n cool video bud 👍🏼💪🏻
Never in my life! Amazing!!!
Great one.
Buddy could it not be that these sharks know that it is possibly spawning season for the crabs and so more nutrition is on offer than other times of the year and that is causing them to chow down on the crabs and in such numbers? I think it's possible.
Yes. Fish and sharks will be where the food is. I never see a shark but when the dead whale washed up there were plenty. If you were a lion , the humans to eat would be scarce around the bush and suburbs , but abundant at the shopping centre. Where the food is.
Huge skates !!!!💯that's like a gym workout 🤣😂..nice work.
always love the way you fish ,,mr zoo ,, nice mahn u inspire me
best fishing video ever!!!
Ons by Danabaai ook dieselfde gehaat ons hulle op wit mossel,bloedwurm,sand prawn,krap als gehak.Ons het toe n stok toe met staal trace en duk braid maar 4-6oz stok een geland.Was crazy dag.Bronzie was 154kg
awsome video was sitting and waiting for those to be landed
Awesome video Sir....
Great video chaps had me on the edge of my seat
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow man definitely something out of the ordinary never seen this before, the fish picks u up does a run, comes in and the next you are off quite strange 🤔
Ekse boet .. you deserve this special moment .. thank you for your consistency to keep us entertainee may bro 😎😏lekker 😈
Awesome video. Thanks
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Amazing 👏🏻
There is nothing like a steam train of Steenie to get the heart going. I am sure big sharks are something amazing to catch, for me a big edible is just the best thing.
I'd like to think those were indeed mega steamers you had there. I've caught a handful of steenbras in my time, but am no expert at all. I just remember the text from fishing guides I read in my youth that went something like : "the steebras picks up the bait and goes off at great speed, only to drop the hook such that the bait on retrieval appears to have been untouched.." Some False Bay anglers even swore that the fish were picking up the sinker instead of the bait. Bloodworm used to be the favorite bait in the area, and the guys would come up with weird and wonderful ways to present this bait with one two additional "trap hooks" to try to counter the guile of this sought after quarry..
Same scenario couple of days ago at Boggoms I think it was.
What a great vid man. Where was this if I may ask. Looks epic to fish.
Is it possible small edibles ate the crabs and bronzies then ate them? Great footage. Thanks for sharing.
Eks amper 100% seker waar daai is. Amazing stukkie langs ons kus. Ek het al moerse goed gehak en verloor opsoek na steenbras daar
I think I have depression after waching this video. Can't believe so many fishes won the tug of war agains ZLF. Thanks for the great video.🎣
🤯I'm mind blown!! What a epic session" I got a feeling that the few that was lost in the beginning could have been fish because there were no bite offs and I feel a J hook works way better for fish like gunter and steenies because of the shape of there mouth" watching this makes me wish I could have a day were we get Pic ups like that trow for trow🙈" epic💯!!
Nice video Pella dit was deurmekaar daar laasweek. 🎣👍
Alles is mal
Absolute madness
Interesting video😅, keep it up💪🏻
Shot! Thanks Sven!
Awesome awesom video. Great footage. Was from your first cast and first run new immediately it is a Bronzie take that. I have fished with crab for steenies before around same time as this and have got picked up by Bronzies on crab. Could not manage to land one ue to light tackle but had 2 on the lip and could see clear as day that they were both Bronzies. Had me confused and spoke to couple old ballies in the fishing community and they say they used to get them on crab, lobster tails. Also seen a documentary regarding Bronzies and they actually love crab and lobster. So I recon it is perhaps a big part of their diet. Once again awesom content. Keep it up.
Thanks for that! Maybe every year the same time they chow the crabs?🤷🏼♂️
if you could get drone shots on where you cast your baits. this would be the best fishing channel out there
Had the same experience in Namibia with steenbras between 14 and 18kg. Eventually we used black mussel worm and caught a few.
A mate and I were fishing for summer flat fish in KZN once, and were surrounded by many other fishermen. we stupidly put some sea lice on our bait and that night were the only 2 anglers to get fish (few sandys all over the 60 kg range)
Awesome
My biggest Steenbras I caught was about a 5kg in the Strand with vrot prawns on a Spring tide when I was still a youngster. My dad was happy, gave it to him.
😱😱 nie eers AJ sou jou glo nie. Special om dit op kamera te vang. Ek is seker daai is vegetarian bronzies. Special special! 🎣🎣🎣
Awesome video. Just unlucky.
jo jo jo dankie oom vir n lekker video
Hi Zander no experience with bronze whalers eating crabs but here in KZN and more so up the north coast and particularly Richard's bay Harbour I've experienced juvenile Grey's eating our sand prawn baits us thinking ita monster grunters and strange thing is we fished with sardine and 8 out of 10 hookups was on the prawn
Had a similar experience, its hound sharks🤣🤣, they love swimming crabs
These are no hound sharks! I have caught many hound sharks on crab before! These where all bog bronze whalers 120kg+ fish. I had the last one in the shore dump
Baie entertaining video👍
Awesome content though👌🎣😎 wonder what fish these are
Massive bronze whalers
Out of all your videos, this is my favourite one. Awesome to see how unpredictable fishing can be.
Do you think that the Evo Heavy could have handled it instead of the Evo MH?
The evo medium handled it, the thin braid was the problem, I will take on a bronzy any day with that little medium! The heavy will handle it easier, yes but the medium stood the test👌🏻
Lol, at the one point where you were bitten off, if you weren't recording I'm sure you would of had a much different reaction🤣
Haha I know exactly which one you ate talking about!🤣 we lost 17 that day, why don’t you think all of them are in the video 🤣🤬😂😇
That explains alot. Winter bronzi fishing with crabs. All I know something similar happened at the deurloop in struis. I got cleaned out 7 times in a row steenie fishing. I had no chance, never thought it was a shark though. The pales going to be carrying crabs in the leagues now lol😂😂😂
I also lost a beast in Struis with bloodworm. Hook came out clean
I think when it bites you really need to strike that rod.🤣😂
man that fish was running towards the horizon. it is frustrating though wen you fight very hard but it all ends in vain wen the hook pops off
Baie nice video! Kan nie wag om weer later die jaar by die see te vang nie. Ek en my seun love jou videos.
Baie dankie! Ek is bly julle geniet dit!
hahahaha🤣🤣🤣julle 2 het somer lekker goed oak gekry🙈
Hi guys we were fishing at a place called gunnery quite a few years back we were as group of about 14 guys anyways we were all huddled in little groups when all he'll broke loose when the one guy shouted fish on and then every one went on we all had two lines in the water let's just say it was absolute chaos with on three fish being landed the biggest being 22,5kg and it threw the gaff man flaky in it the water what an exhilerating night of fishing
A lot of those buddies are no longer but the memories will last
Thanks for the video
Sorry for spelling errorors blame autocorrect
Subbed.
what is the name of that blue rod he has?
You said it yourself. It was "great sand crab"
Epic Bronze Steenie blitz!!😅🤙
😂😂😂
Crazy runs! Possibly bronzies, did you see what it was when the fish came close? I can't see how bronzies can spit the hook like that though. Normally sharks the hook sits because of their tough skin that you need a pliers to take the hook out... Happened to me once with bloodworm on the beach. Rod in the stand and drag not too loose as it was a J hook, rod jumps out of the stand with rod and multiplier dragging face down through the sand towards the water caught me rod and fish off. Hook came out clean 🤷♂️
Yeah it was 100% bronze whalers. I had the last one in the shore dump! Had us really confused!
Hi xander is this danabaai?
Hi mate I do no of bream eating crabs and bronze whalers love to eat ..I got a 12 foot brozey when I was caching sea bream of a beach in NSW ..I had lost heeps and I put 100 pound line about 5 m and a steal trace ..breading time they get in feeding
Insane Video Xander, were you getting cut off the whole time or were the hooks just pulling?
None of them bit us off on the hook snoot, mainly cut off, hooks pulled and bitten off above the first half of the trace
@@zoolookfishing interesting very weird
Dit was n dag gevul met hartseer opwinding😂
One things for sure.. That rod and braid is incredibly strong... Was that the 3-5Oz evo?
Indeed it was👌🏻
Stealing is not good so I choose to do it with my eyes
Useful tips that will definitely help in the future
🔥🤝
Very sorry for you man just wasn't you're day it was a zoolook payday for the Sharks🦈
Can some one place say me where are the best spots
For big steenbrass
Weereens n g@tskop video baie dankie oom
Kan oom eendag n video maak om mooi tewys waar n sandbak is hoe om hulle uit teken.
MOER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!never seen anything like that in my life HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Awesome video. Amazing hoe die natuur werk!
Ek dink hulle het n diet change nodig oor die sardines siek is wat hulle geeet het??? Die krappe het dalk iets spesifiek in wat hulle weer gesond maak of die diet balance… dont know maar die haaie is in tops kondisie en vet!
Was dit Struisbaai plaat?awesome video ek is een van die dae weer daar.Ek het een mase pylstert pp die las gehak en amper 2ure toe het ek hom
Soos ek sit en kyk en veral hoe daai vis vat as daai stok in die rodstand is, was ek oortuig dis n stoomtrein. Hermanus plaat se stoomtreine het net so gevat. Hard, plat en dan begin hy daai stand ry..... Hoe verder ek gekyk het, dog ek ook by myself, hardloop daai duin uit en baklei daai vis! Maar na die 3de/4de vis wat so verloor is, het ek geweet daars n slang in die gras. Dis iets wilds vreemd en net die feit dat julle nie elke keer af gebyt was nie pla my steeds..... Dis n vraag wat vir altyd gevra sal raak.
Pitty julle het nie bloedwurm gehad nie.
Goeie video weereens ou pel! Sien uit na die volgende
Nice, good fights you had. Just like humans like titbits, maybe it was snack time for the bronzies. Jokes aside, as usual, good video Bru.
Goede-Gebliksem😅
Hoe sê hulle Zander "Fishing is nice, but catching fish is better!!" Dis hengel, lekker vid!!
Ja nee! Baie dankie!
Its white streembras and i lost big one it took like 200metets and then come off
Awesome video as usual buddy keep them cumn boet
was hierdie in stilbaai?
Nee, op Danabaai
The sharks are there for the same reason as the steenies. As strange as it sounds, just remember that whales eat krill…
Could be a skate the way that reel is screaming.
Bronzie on crabs?
Yebo! Weird hey?!
So we still don’t know for sure what any of those fish were?
Definitely bronze whalers! And massive ones! I had the last one in the shore break, we saw it before it turned
@@zoolookfishing Aha, so you actually saw them. Mystery solved - that must have been a real head scratcher!
Ek het al vis gehak. Dan kom hy redelik maklik. As hy die lip slaan dan raak hy bedonderd. Nie lank daarna is hy af. Wonder nogsteeds wat dit was
😮💨
Ek eet ni boontjies ni.maar as ek dood honger is sal ek
Haha, die ergste is die baai is bol aasvis, bitter baie anchovy en sardyn. Dit was baie vreemd!
Not on crab but on bloodworm
Yoh- dalk duccies?
Nope ek ken n duckie, daai was Almal bronsies, die laaste een het ek in die wit water gehad.
Dit was erg hoor. Ek het gegryp na my blerrie hartpille. Ek het lateraan gedink aan koeihaaie? Maar wat weet ek. Al wat ek weet dat baie hengelaars al so iets beleef het. Dit is hoekom ons bly hengel. Die anedralien bly jou terug jaag en hoe erger dit gaan hoe meer foute maak ons. Uit die staanspoor het ek gedink dat die hoekke dalk te klein was. Groot sagte bekke. Teorie op teorie. Wag vir n volgende sessie. Mooi loop en gooi mielies.
Actually now that I think of it...
Once we were down at the beach and the previous day a friend of mine and his friends caught over 100kg of steenies and white musselcracker on a bank in a single day. Bronzies were gale aswell and they had multiple swim offs.
Next morning I went down with them, only throw for a bronzie and I got a 70kg fish. Then was pushing tide game time for steenies. I got the only fish which was a cracker on sand prawn BUT I got bitten off on a sand crab.
Putting 2 and 2 together now... Must have been a bronzie!! (Was earlier this year, about Feb-March)
Reel 1 met "circle" hoeke is moet nie kap nie. Julle laat my dink aan die ou dae langs vaaldam waar die manne 100m terughardloop as hulle vasmaak.
Niemand in die video het mos gekap met n circle hoek nie, die keer wat ek geslaan het het en n 11/0 J hoek aangehad. Ek hengel al 15 jaar met circle hoeke ek weet wat om met hulle te maak
Maybe it was mermaids
