Fishing Report 21 September 2020
Weather for the Weekend.
Today and tomorrow we have big swells which
will start setting on Wednesday and we have some very hot weather coming in
starting on Wednesday, fishing will be good, I predict Friday been the best
day.
Lagoon
The slipway road is now open and done
and dusted a big thanks to Steve De Langer and Scribante construction for
making this happen and finally thank you all for donating money to the Honorary
Officers to pay towards the cost of the operation. Park hours remain at 6am-5pm
for the time being the park is waiting for head office to advise when camping
will be allowed and the gates closing at 10pm. When the park opens to 10pm
again we can sit for Kob with live Mullet, get a braai going and wait.
Surf
After the Cobia last week over the
weekend Louis while targeting big Shad caught a Garrick on a Shad rig with Mac
fillet as bait, surf fishing is not always a dull affair, he did get his big
Shad on a Sard fillet as well as a small Spinner. Note the Garrick do bite on
steel, I have caught them on steel, seen them been caught on steel and now
Louis got one, if they hungry they will eat. Shad were caught all over the
place this weekend but not all were busses, Mark was fishing at his spot and
they observed Garrick in the waves, a live Shad was slid out but they did not
get a pickup. No reports of any non eds yet however on Wednesday we are going
to go try get some, we are not sure which beach we will fish at but Port
Dunford is looking good as the channel from the river mouth is running that
way. On Saturday Mtunzini Angling Club and some members of the public joined
the Honorary Officers for the Siyayi Coastal Park for the beach clean-up, 873kg
of plastic were collected from the mouth as far as Red Boom. The next clean
will be from Emboyeni up to Red Boom, well done to all who participated. We had
to limit the participants to 50 as we were still I Lock Up level 2.
Ski boat
The slipway road is complete and is
not closing again this week as was planned. We have no reports of boats that
went out over the weekend. Wednesday and Thursday look good. The channel is running
at about 10.30 or towards Port Dunford, on Saturday when we were at the mouth
the water was screaming out and we hope it pulled a lot of the sand with it.
