Lagoon.
Firstly a
reminder about sea snakes in the lagoon, another was caught during the week
they have yellow bellies and green upper body, just cut the line and let it go
back into the water, don’t try handle
it. The water colour is still good so if fishing in the mouth area be alert for
a Diamond giving you a good hiding. High
tides in the early evening makes a afternoon session with a braai a good
choice.
Surf.
Yesterday was
the best day this week as will today and tomorrow, there was some little fish
caught during the early part of the week but nothing to shout about. Yesterday
a small group got species of fish (
Catface Rockcod, Spinner shark, Moray Eel and a Snapper Kob) and 2 shark baits
were picked up and they lost them both, one we suspect was a Raggie as the line
was bittern off way above the steel. One of the spinner catches was a double up
and they got attached by something on the way in. We have had very hot days for
the last 3 days and usually after a hot spell the diamonds make an appearance
so far most of the Diamonds have been caught on the home beaches.
Ski Boat
Tomorrow looks
good for a session in the morning. The N wind has cleaned the water up somewhat
and is no longer green, I hear plans for some game fishing good luck chaps go
for it.
Next events.
