Fishing Report 07 July 2020
Weather for the Weekend.
We still have big swells for today and
the see starts settling from tomorrow going on till the weekend, it seems as a
berg wind is coming through on Thursday and Friday and as they say when the
wind is hot at night it is good for Kob.
Lagoon
Yesterday morning I was on the lagoon
covering the distance from passed the R102 bridge till the river mouth, the
water was murky throughout and we saw a lot of fish activity after the trip I
went to the main car park and watched Hienrich fishing with his 2 daughters
however Dad was fishing while they played in the water and while chatting he
must have caught 8 little fish most of which was Spotted Grunter.
Surf
The beaches are still closed to
fishing, we think they might open in level 2 at best or level 1. Surf fishing
was a night mare over the weekend and this looks to continue into the week
because of a very strong side wash and very big surf only settling from
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday look the best day for fishing.
Ski boat
Chaps it seems as though this local up
has affected our ability to stay in a vessel or is it a disease the Jet Ski
guys passed onto the boaters as yet another angler donnered off a vessel over
the weekend and that happened during the retrieving of the anchor. Fishing was
tough over the weekend with big surf conditions at the mouth making launching tough,
some boats did turn back but those that got out caught fish and some decent
sizes to. Species caught were Kob,
Soldier, Slinger, Catface Rockcod, Spotted Grunter, “wilder Perd”, Couta Snoek,
YFT and Glassnose Anchovy. The game fish
were caught by Nanook and Kuku off Richards Bay. The Snoek was caught on the trawl using the
Glassnose Anchovy as bait, this species makes excellent bait especially for
Couta. I was at the mouth yesterday while the tide was going out and it looks
like the channel is running tight along the beach towards Port Dunford.
