Bigger kob have been caught on fly in South African waters including an amazing 80lb fish that was taken in broad daylight. Most catches seem to be incidental while targeting other species but I have found that using the heavy white clouser fished slowly along the bottom with occasional pauses has produced fish in different estuaries at different times of the day.

No clear patterns have emerged except to say that some tidal movement seems to result in more consistent catches. For me, however, fishing for mulloway on fly will always be about cold nights, hot chips and good mates squeezed together on the deck of the Sandbar Restaurant on the Bushman's River.

If you can find a similar situation on a river near you, check it out. If you find the jewies, give me a call and I will bring the Kob Klousers, just have a big enough landing net ready.
