Hoewel die meeste hengel-plekke die
jaloerse geheim van die plaaslike inwoners
is, is daar heelwat plekke wat reeds bekendheid
verwerf het vir die goeie vangste wat
daar gemaak word.
Veral gewild is die skuimgate van die Poort
tot by die hawegebied. Hier vang die ouens
groot mosselkrakers wat vanaf November,
tydens en na ‘n Suid-oostewind ‘n karp of
siffie nader aan die kant kom soek. Staan
maar vas met ‘n sterk stok, katrol en lyn want
hierdie kragtige visse vat vas en word net
met ‘n goeie stukkie gespook geland!
Wes van die hawe (Munro’s Baai en
Santos-strand) was baie hengelaars al
verbaas oor die mooi gespikkelde knorders
(grunters) wat in die stil water op ‘n ligte
lyntjie, met ‘n hoekie en flentertjie aas
aangebied. Deelnemers spring weg vanaf
07:00-08:00. Die kontakpersoon is Dirk

Rots strandhengel
Mosselbaai is deur die jare bekend vir die baie vis-spesies wat langs die
kuslyn aan die hengelaar se aas knibbel. Hier word ‘n hengelaar se arms
maklik te kort as die storie oorvertel word van die vis wat die kole gehaal het.
uitgetrek is! Die gebied vanaf Diazstrand tot
by Hartenbos is veral gedurende Desember
bekend vir elk en kabeljou.
En vir die manne wat weet hoe; ‘n lewendige
springertjie kan sommer nou-nou die katrol
laat sing met ‘n groot leervis wat die pad
see-in vat. Vir hierdie vegtervis is ‘n lepel ook
nie te versmaai nie. Probeer gerus die
gebied by Beneke-se-klip en verder strandaf
na die aflooppyp tussen Hartenbos en
Diazstrand regoor die eiland.
Die kranse agterom Die Punt is natuurlik
elke hengelaar met sterk bene wat kranse
kan klim, se droom. Dit is egter ‘n baie
gevaarlike gebied wat slegs deur diegene
wat die gebied goed ken, besoek behoort te
word. Moet asseblief nie onnodig kanse
waag nie.
