Lagoon.
Water is back to normal and fishing has been good, in part to the fact
the mouth is deep and we getting a good tide “pull” , big cob will enter the
mouth at night so worth targeting them late afternoon into the early evening,
gates close at 10.
Surf.
Beach is back to normal and is fishing well with plenty of edibles, Cob
of size are been caught in the early morning and early evening on a variety of
baits. Still no Garrick but they must be here because they have been caught at
Amatikulu and in Richards Bay Harbor.
Ski Boat
Great week for Couta fishing and some Yellow Fin Tuna were caught.
Bottom fishing has been very slow but a great variety of species have been
boated. One boat caught 12 Couta on Spoon alone, water was so clear they could
see the spoons go down.
News from the Shop.
We stocked up on bait today and for the river and surf guys we got our
hands on some bait prawns.
