Lagoon
Some catches were made on Friday before the storm and we
suspect with all the rain on Saturday and Saturday night the water coloured and
Sunday was a very slow day. Some Anglers did venture to the lagoon after the
rain stopped late morning, the best places to fish would have been the mouth
area as the water would have been cleaner there.
Surf
On Saturday evening I received a message from young Chris
Camping at Cape Vidal informing me Mtunzini main beach has just passed him. New
Directions to our main beach is as follows. Head to Cape Vidal and turn sharp
right as you get onto the beach and walk for 6km and you will see the familiar
land marks go a further 2km and you will find Doggies Beach. For those looking
for Paaljies at Tugela mouth they are slightly left of the main car park in the
reserve. Wow what an angry sea we had over the weekend. I am hoping the weed
and side wash starts settling so we can get fishing again.
Ski boat
Due to incumbent weather we have nothing to report. People
are asking about the NSRI donation life boat. The NSRI have done away with that
system of collecting donations and are going to replace it with another system
which will enable the money to go straight into the bank at the moment we are
collecting change in a tub and will transfer it to them via this new system, we
are told it will be ready early this year.
