Lagoon
I think with the rugby on and
everybody was “braaied out” so to speak it seems not many people fished the
lagoon, there were some visitors yesterday that popped in for bait on their way
down but I did not here if they made catches or not.
Surf
Great action happened on the main
beach and in front of the Chalets with lots of Diamonds caught over the weekend
mainly at night together with small Hammer head Sharks, Spinner Sharks , Milky
Sharks, Snapper Kob of which one was taxed, most of the Diamonds were in the
30-40kg range however there is a report of one around 70kg. A 100cm Zambie was
also caught but it was pointed out it could be a Sand Bar Shark, from looking
at the picture I cannot tell however a very interesting catch none the less.
Thank you Shaun, Rafique and Neil for the reports as well as Tomo’s mates who
fished the main beach with him. The little Hammers can be a pest but remember they
got to eat like mad to get big so they can get out of the food chain, that is
why like Spinner Sharks seem to hide in the surf zone please bear with them and
don’t kill them as I have seen here and a beach to the south of Mtunzini.
Ski boat
Gert took his son and his sons friend for
a quick trip as they were expecting a big SW which did come through, apart from
catching a Soldier and some Slinger they also photographed and released a first
time species for the boat, we identified it as a Big Eye Stumpnose, these are
found in our waters however are not common they do not grow very big and have a
maximum size of about 1.5kg.
Next events.
