Lagoon
Although big rains were forecast yesterday this did not
happen so the river colour is unchanged, just like the surf zone fishing was
quiet, in fact for a weekend the lagoon area did not have many people fishing
and I have no reports of boats on the lagoon making catches. However Murphy’s
Law after the report is published someone will report a good catch hahahaha.
Surf
Puffers and very big ones have made an appearance on the
main beach as Martin found out to his horror yesterday morning. He said he also
dropped some nice bites when he had his rod in his pension pipe and we teased
him they were not big Shad but big puffers. Last Thursday night 2 Diamonds and
a Sandy were landed at the Banks but apart from that it was quiet weekend. In
front of the Forest Lodge some small Sharks were landed but no edibles over the
weekend. We have a NE blowing with hot days for most of the week which should
result in better catches been made.
Ski boat
Fishing was very slow over the weekend both from here and
Richards Bay I believe out of the 9 boats that went out of Meer en See 1 caught
1 fish. I think with the forecast for Sunday looking like rain and wind we only
know of one boat who fished an early session but no reports of catches were made.
Next events.
We have an 8 sleeper house (can sleep
10 as it has 2 double beds) should a group want to hire it, it is self-catering
with ample bait storage space.
