West Coast Boat Angling Club

Beautiful day out — spring tide doing its thing and a proper south wind trying to rearrange my hairstyle.
Mission for the day: our national fish, the mighty Galjoen (who clearly didn’t get the memo that I was coming).
Headed to one of my favourite spots fully loaded — mussel, red bait, and some live moonshine worm… basically a seafood buffet on a hook.
Tide started pushing (aka Galjoen happy hour), and I had a solid session of “was that a bite or am I imagining things?” — a few hits, plenty of misses, and some quality self-doubt.
Then finally… the moonshine worm said “don’t worry, I got you” — and boom, a proper 37cm Galjoen! First one of the season, so obviously I celebrated like I’d just won a small tournament.
Only one way to do it justice — straight onto the coals.
Also had some tuna leftovers from the last deep trip, so I tried the kebab method (cheers Jerome Petersen — you’ve created a monster).
End result? Absolute feast.
At the dinner table it was all smiles — surf on one side, deep sea on the other… and me in the middle acting like a Michelin chef who just discovered fire 🔥fabian

What a lekker classis thank you Yzerfontein Boat Angling Club

Three of us WCBAC anglers fished the Berg River skins over the weekend, was a fantastic event two days divided into 7 skins. Angelo, Jan and myself fished it and kept the WCBAC name up high. Lots of fish caught especially elf. The biggest elf 72cm and biggest leerie 97cm. Jan took second place in the first skin with a leerie. Lekker ou Jan. Angelo is in hospital having a knee op, hope it all goes well with him

Lets go boys and girls! Nog n lekker yzer comp.
