A day of fishing in East London an exciting "tail "?

A recent outing to spend a day fishing the East Coast by my brother -in-law ,Dean our resident chef and barman and myself proved quite fruitful. We decided to park at Four Seasons as day visitors and paid our fee. This is a great facility as the coastal area has some really good fishing. Four Seasons is 42 kms from East London and if you stay at Riversway for 5 nights or longer we can guide you out here to experience the excellent fishing it has on offer for no extra cost.
We walked around 2 kms to a spot near the famed Deadmans gulley , and started fishing. We both fish light 9 ft ( Dean had an 8 ft with a small coffee grinder) Loads of small fish were present and bait didn't last beyond a few minutes in the water with each throw.
Dean then stated " I am going to put on a small hook to see what these little fish are" and proceeded to put on a no 2 hook usually reserved for catching small bait fish.
He baited it with a tiny piece of red bait . It was only a few minutes until I heard the scream of the small reel and turned to see an absolute look of panic on Dean's face , his spool was almost empty within seconds.

10 nervous minutes later and a combination of huge luck and Deans now self professed " skill " as a now professional fisherman (Sic) the 66 cm Silver Steenbras was landed. The intense jealousy set in almost immediately and I began ranting that this fish was obviously sick and did notice that it almost jumped from the Gulley.

I continued to relate this story to the amazed onlookers who stopped to admire the very openly carried and displayed fish.( ultimate Boast) Of course Dean said that the females in these groups were only attracted to him and his fish when one lady exclaimed " That's Impressive !! He could not contain himself at all.

A great outing and some fresh fish that night was enjoyed , ( besides the ongoing bragging about Dean's  new found professional fishing status by himself that increased with each Castle Light consumed)
Come and stay with us at Riversway http://www.riversway.co.za/ and stay longer than 5 days and we will guide you to the East Coast on a fishing day free of charge. You too may have a "tai"l to brag about
