Opt for longer, slender baits to catch the hard-hitting kob

THIS Easter weekend promises nonstop coastal chaos - and we mean that in the best way possible!

- 

With fish on the chew from north to south and every beach, pier and point in between lighting up, anglers are in for an unforgettable few days.

So, pack your bait, grab your gear, and get ready for some rod-bending action, because this is your ultimate rock and surf fishing breakdown for the long weekend.

The North Coast has been absolutely firing, with solid kob action reported from all the usual hotspots.

Whether you're presenting chokka baits, live bait or casting paddle tails, the kob are hitting hard.

Paddle tail anglers, take note: slow retrieves close to the bottom are producing the best results - kob love an easy, wobbling meal.

For even more success, opt for longer, slender baits.

These provide that extra bit of enticing movement, triggering those subtle predatory strikes from the kob that are just too tempting to resist.

Fishing along the central coastline has been a treat for all types of anglers.

With stumpies, shad, and even snoek in the mix, it's a buffet of bites for anyone wetting a line from the beach or the piers.
