Fishing Report 31 July 2020
Weather for the Weekend.
The weather going into the weekend and
during the weekend is good for fishing with the surf below 2m however it turns
for the worst on Sunday afternoon. The sea has good colour for deep sea but
surf fishing will be slow.
Lagoon
The water in the lagoon is still very
clean despite having 30 cm of rain on Monday, so species fishing should be fun
as more types of fish that a not very comfortable coming into the lagoon do so
now. We have some new artificial lures that make a noise on and in the water,
the Bass fishermen are using them in the lagoon with great success so I decided
to get some stock. Some very nice River Snapper have been landed again so me
thinks they are not getting caught in gill nets at least for now.
Surf
Chaps there is a control point going
into the main car park area of the beach, the Rangers are manning that check
point and are checking for compliance, but really fellow anglers why, why, why
is it necessary to be rude to them, who do you think you are? It takes nothing
to be polite and assist them, they are human beings and deserve to be treated
with respect, when I found out this was happening this morning I was shocked, I
suggested rude people be turned away.
On the fishing front some very nice
Kob have been caught as well as some big Shad but those spots have become dangerous
to fish at for the short term I would stay away from the area of The Banks all
the way to Emboyeni due to local unrest, Mondi have cleared all their staff and
contractors away from this area particular at Red Boom.
Ski boat
Fishing over the weekend especially on
Saturday and Sunday morning will be good as the swell will be down from today.
Please note the channel in the mouth is very narrow making turning very
difficult, even the jet skis are not having it so easy. Fishing was slow during
the week but catches were made of some good size bottoms.
