Fishing Report 30 November 2020
Weather for the Week.
Typical Monday the weather is great
for fishing but tomorrow and Wednesday are a bit like the weekend with a lot of
wind however Thursday going into the weekend the weather improves but early
days things can and probably will change.
Lagoon
Great excitement in the main Lagoon
car park when Mark landed a 3,2kg Spotted Grunter, Mark is better known for his
skills at Kozi Bay and it was probably those skills that got him this fish,
watch him next time. Also over the weekend there were a few Honey Comb Rays
caught, please be gentle with them and don’t flip then over to get the hook
out, if it swallowed the hook simply cut it off, they do not bite so you can safely
put your fingers in its mouth to get the hook out by lifting its head up
slightly.
Surf
Walter Maxwell had the world record
Tiger Shark for 40 years until a fella in Australia beat him by 5lbs in 2004,
so Chris’s Tiger is probably the biggest caught in Africa. Talking about sharks
in the MPA you may catch sharks from the side but must release them as you may
not be in possession of a shark at all. Now for the people who catch baby
sharks and through them on the side or burry them think they are ridding the
sea of baby sharks I have very sad news for you, you will be prosecuted and you
will receive a criminal record do the right thing and put them back in the sea
as sharks are under enough pressure to survive without you making things worse.
Some guys did try fish over the weekend and the only way Rudi beat his wife at
fishing was to sneak out of the house very early in the morning leaving her
asleep, he managed a small Scalloped Hammer Head and a Spinner shark. At the
moment there are a lot of baby sharks been caught, please could you send me
photos of the underneath of the shark and try focus on the area between the pectoral
fins as this is where the umbilical scar can be seen I forward it on as it is
part of a research project, I also need to know where it was caught please be honest
I will not share that information if you don’t want me to except for the scientists.
Please measure them flat and not over the body.
Ski boat
These guys must be getting desperate to
go fish as the conditions have not been favourable for some time now. I believe
Action braved the seas on Saturday but I have not if the boated anything.
