Lagoon.
No sooner had I posted the report on Monday when a guy walked in and
told us about a big Spotted Grunter he caught early in the morning on a drift
bait it sounded in the region of 2kg. Little Honey’s are been caught regularly.
A champion Diamond of 55kg was boated near the mouth. The water is clearing up
after the rain, time for the river game fish to produce some action.
Surf.
Was down on the beach early this morning and there is almost no surf,
just a shore break, we put some Macs and a Yellow Tail out , by the time I had
to leave to open the shop we had one knock. The Angler to our left was getting
cleaned up by Puffies, I suggested he move as the Puffies will keep cleaning
you out but he said he will wait till they full and they will leave him alone,
I think he is still feeding them. At the moment small sharks are on the bite
with very few edibles coming out. Endure keep the bait in the water, your luck
must change but in the meantime have fun with the little sharks. Doggies , to
the left of main beach as well as the Old Ramp had anglers working away but not
sure if anything has been beached yet.
Ski Boat.
Finally Couta were boated together with Queen Mackerel, Tuna and Bonnies
in our Bay, the “Harves” were the first boat to catch a Couta and they dropped
another on Spoon right next to the boat, this was at North Salmon. A bus of a Couta (32kg) was boated off
Richards Bay. The weather yesterday played its part and a big variety of bottom
fish were boated Cob being the dominant species, among the mix were Englishmen,
Slinger, Cave Bass (Lanterns), Catface Rock Cod and I am getting old I forgot
what else but you get my drift.
News from the shop.
Saturday, around 12 we doing Boerie rolls to celebrate out first
birthday, pop in and join us.
