De Mond report back.
Thank you to all who joined us this past Saturday at De Mond. After the front that came through on Friday the weather was pleasant, with a mild Southerly blowing for most part of the day.*
There were good numbers of juvenile leerfish, with the emphasis on juvenile :-). Earlier in the week some cob were landed on fly and during Saturday morning one cob came out on bait, towards the mouth. Also two grunter came out on bait, with one being a 75cm fish that was landed at the bridge.

The striped mullet were scarce, however Danie Carinus landed a beautiful Stripey on a chartreuse yarn fly. Interesting was that Thomas spotted three striped mullet cruising in the channel, they weren't chumming with bread. As Danie presented the fly the pod swam past, one fish made a U'e and hammered the chartreuse fly.

We did see some grunter towards the mouth, not many, there are plenty of southern mullet and the fishing, in terms of bigger leerfish and cob should improve as we go into February and March. For those who are keen to target big flathead mullet, there are good numbers of these fish at the moment. As always De Mond is just a special place and well worth a day visit. Oh, they do not issue fishing permits onsite anymore, so make sure you have one before you go.
We still have some openings on our upcoming Breede trip from the 23rd to the 26th of February, space is limited to 6 anglers.
