Hi welcome back MYDO tackle talk been ages I know
but cool here we are
and we’re gonna be talking about shad
because the shad did not go mad this year
don’t know where they are
but they’re very hard to catch this this year
this there’s not many of them
they all kind of seem to be the same size
which is a bit worrying about the population’s health
because for the last 10 years or more
there’s been no effective policing
and bukkie bootloads
and bakkie loads of shad have been taken away
and no one even gives a hell anyway
here we are fishing long time ago
when there were plenty shad
I think this is about 5 years ago
I can’t remember exactly
but as you can see there’s lots of shad here
so a little reef off the back line
somewhere about 14 meters
and that’s all I’m gonna tell you
and every year the shad come to this place
it’s so much fun but uh this particular session
I kind of didn’t know what was going on there
but I had a camera on and I couldn’t wait to see
so I let go down to the bottom
get a few bites or whatever
but as I’m coming up bang
bang bang
so there is the beginning of this whole shed episode
now there’s lots of those fish there
are we catching them though
pulling them out one by one you know let
them go keeping a few Chelsea likes shad
you’ll see just now so anyway
there’s lots of shad here
and now you’ll notice that they don’t chow that bait
there’s a sardine bait on a spoon
I just wrapped it up together with some cotton
send it down there to see what’s going on
so that’s not getting chowed but now watch this crazy
hey we’ll do it again there’s a shad we caught one
Chelsea loves them she just kills them
no no
she’s gonna go in there after it
watch Shad’s RV coming up ha ha so yeah
we are fishing lekka and then see they don’t chow it
although on the way down
they’re kind of interested
and you do get a few chunka uh bites on the way down
which happens a lot
we never really realise that on the way down
cause it’s moving
now we get to the bottom here and you see the reef
and now look at this
as soon as you move they all come like piranhas
finally we gonna catch one
it’s crazy so
you have to understand that
when you’re fishing off the beach
and you gooi out there and then goes down to the bottom
its not moving just sitting there
you stand like this
and now you get a bite and you try and strike
doesn’t work I mean
it does work when the shad are thick
so my advice to anybody
and everybody who wants to catch shad is
use a moving bait lots of ways to do it
one way is to take my Mydo spoon
and wrap it up with bait
there’s actually holes in the spoon
that you can shove sardine in there
and now this really works
that’s what I’m doing over here
is just take a piece of fillet bait
and tie it to the spoon
or shove it in the holes or whatever
but tying it on is a good idea
send it to the bottom
or cast it out there and then move it
don’t check here
I’m jigging a little bit
and you’re getting a bit of interest
but as soon as I start winding you check
they all just come flying for it
come on shad where you are okay
there’s my spoon hanging out there
lots of fishies hey
there’s blacktail swimming around here and everything
even the blacktail go for the spoon once it’s moving
check they’re not really interested at all
just floating around there
like it looks like
that’s what your bait will look like
if you fishing like normal style
but now watch Jeezie
hey
boom got him
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hey
what fun hey
yeah
every year about this time the shad come here
but now this year it seems to
everything seems to be a little bit slow
I was using a treble here
so it takes ages to take the hook out
so normally you
should change to singles when the fish are thick
like this but in the beginning
I like to start with a treble
just to see what’s going on
and then once the game’s clear
change to a single but yep
this definitely teaches us about moving bait
look at them it’s crazy like fighter
fighter airplanes coming in on a target
crazy analogy but it just makes me feel like it
how they home in like that
and they just see on the way down
they’re quite interested
in fact
one of them hit the camera on on one of these clips
he come in so thick and fast and angry
he clapped the camera in
that looks like he’s attacking you
you’ll see it just now but okay
this is the plan
it’s called the MYDO Shad Trace
it’s very simple
it’s a MYDO bait swimmer and in the front of it
in the back of it is a bait
like a little fillet like this
and it’s a little four
a No. 4 treble at the back of the trace
and you never miss
because while you winding and then the shad hits it
he’s vas gone no more bite oh
strike nothing of of the sort
use light tackle
use your little ultra light if you if you can bear it
but basically you just rig up
put some cotton on the thing cast out
see the black tail there
cast out and um and gently wind
and this way you don’t have to go in the rocks
and if you’re gonna get your kids or your wife
use the tackle just put a top bung
you don’t have to put one of those big heavy bungs
you can just put a little small
like a wine bottle bung on
on the on the line
and then that will keep the thing out off the rocks
this is a very exciting way to fish too
you can see your your bait getting hammered
but so you chuck it into the current
or something like that
let it go out and then gently wind it
just keep it moving
maybe every now and then go a bit faster because of um
the excitement that the speed generates
as you can see on this thing here
when that thing goes fast
Jeez they come in fast
thick and fast if you use this MYDO
system of mine
you can get literally eight baits out of one sardine
and you got the skeleton so you can take the fillets
cut them into fours and then just sew them on
just sew them on one by one
then you can cut the skeleton in half
so you get 10 baits
even out of one sardine’cause these baits are small
they’re only about like a half a fillet long
and literally
it’s a little pencil bait tied onto the wire trace
which is tied onto your MYDO
which is tied to your your hook and your line
I mean tied to you
yeah like a 10 pound
20 pound braid
ultra light outfit you’ll never have so much fun
and you’re gonna catch much more than the ous around you
cause you’re so easy and light and flexible
one thing’s for sure
some days you have to cast further than everybody else
that’s for sure with this shad fishing
so you get a MYDO 2 ounce shad trace
and that thing is going over the horizon
that thing is going so far
so that would
I would tie a bigger bait on that and send it across
and then just crank it all the way in past the rocks
look at this man it’s exciting eh
very cool stuff anyway
that’s why I got these cameras for exactly this
so I could see underwater
instead of guessing what’s going on
now I know exactly what’s going on
when I see a Dorado come along
I know exactly what’s going on
because I’ve seen those Dorado chow baits hey
they’re clever things man
go go
go get it get it
get it ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
just ah damn it
damn it damn it
I don’t know how many we caught
that they obviously caught within the limit
but it’s a lot of fun catching shad like this eh
my goodness
but okay thank you for watching
you can order these things on the sardine news
which is broken at the moment it was kind of broken
I think the shop doesn’t work because yeah
it gets very busy and I’ve check
modify and change things and next thing I’ll break it
but they’re busy fixing it now the
the server is accepting the thing one by one for me
cause I’m too busy
very nice of those guys to help
and or you can just WhatsApp me from the website
there’s a WhatsApp button somewhere
or when the website is working perfectly
but you can find my number anyway
0 7 9 3 2 6 9 6 7
1 and then you can just contact me directly
tell me where you gonna go fishing
what you wanna catch
and I’ll tell you what we can prepare for you
and and we’ll send you away with
not only the lures and stuff
but also some contacts in the area
some advice for the area and seasonal advice
you know
so give us a shout tell us where you going anyway
Mozambique the Cape whatever the story is
let us know we’ll prepare you a pack
especially if I say port st John’s in the Transkei
we got a estuary pack
we got a Queen mackerel pack we got a king mackerel pack
obviously that’s our biggest seller 9
9 9
and we also make heavy
big traces and big MYDOS for bluefin tuna
in the Mediterranean and funny enough
you won’t believe it in England
you know the big tuna just
pulled into England and in the Cape here
we could use them to catch big eyes and bluefin
and you know Mark right in um
in port in in Port Saint Francis
got a bluefin and a broadbill
using a mydo trolling behind the boat
and he lost that broadbill on the same day
ha ha ha ha ha
so yeah Mark is um Mark White sorry
not Mark right Mark right’s the surfer
Mark White’s the fisherman but yeah
he caught them I’ll put the picture up here
or maybe I won’t because I’m trying to edit this
I’m not trying not to edit this video
I just want to watch the video
and talk to you guys about the fact that
they’re moving baits they’re moving baits
they’re moving baits
it works much better than anything else
no matter where you come from
alright I’m gonna sign out here
I’m gonna leave it to play
so you can watch a bit more of this action
I can just also talk to you about
the fact that the mydos
these things is how I make a living with sardine
because Google don’t pay um
much anyway and so by selling these lures
you’re helping us keep the channel alive
so this is directly linked to the
keeping the sardine news going
and the other way we can keep the sardine
news going is by phoning me
and to organise fishing trips anywhere and everywhere
bazaruto Mdumbi all the exotic spots
I’ve got
we’ve been working all the over these places forever
I work with Captain Duarte Rato in in Mozambique
he’s the best there’s no doubting it
he’s the best got a blue Marlin yesterday
so anyway yeah
winter time the blues come
but actually the blues are there all the way here
around you gotta go out deep
you gotta go wide
got to get out there wide alright
and
the other way you can support the sardine news channel
is by joining
it’s 59 rand a month and you go on the sardine hotline
so the sardine hotline is a place where
me and my network put the real information
but
we don’t want that information to go out to the public
because next thing
if you say there’s shad butting at Splash Rock
a 1 million ous go there if you say there’s shad yeah
or anywhere hey no
it’s not fair it’s not fair on the locals and that
so we have got all the info
you know
and you can phone me directly and I might tell you
but the most important thing is
you rather just join that sardine hotline
so you know the truth
and if you wanna go on a fishing trip
you let us you just talk to us
we’ll tell you what’s going on
but you then we don’t wanna tell everybody else
that’s the whole idea to protect the resource
protect the ocean
so you can go to the sardine
news website and you can sign up over there
alright I’m gonna leave you guys
play this out without me talking
I’m very sorry I talk so much
but it’s a 12 minute video
I gotta get through all this cool footage
alrighty don’t forget to like and subscribe this channel
and the Sardine Channel and join the Sardine Channel
signing out thanks for playing
