Lagoon.
With the NE blowing into the North bank makes fishing off the side
tough. For the guys with boats there are plenty of spots to hide away on the South
bank, why not chance your arm and go fish near the stone wall and closer to the
mouth a mullet in the right spot is bound to guarantee a Diamond or 2.
Surf.
Today being day 3 of NE and everybody is stuck in the office, typical.
The water colour is patchy from Dark to light brown with a bit of blue in the
back line. Fishing for Non Eds must be high on the agenda especially at Port
Dunford, Siyayi and The Banks. In amongst the Diamonds there will be Shad,
Snapper Cob and Pompanos etc. as this is what they feed on, try casting in
front of the shore break where the fish can hide.
Ski Boat.
Sunday looks good with a small window on Saturday morning early, the NE
has coloured the water however if the same pattern emerges as last week we
should see the colour line in the bay tomorrow and Sunday, at the moment the
water is very patchy.
Upcoming Events
Monthly mug on the 4 Feb if the surf is up we will convert it to a River
comp only. River boats can enter but will only be eligible for 3rdprize (first and Second prize reserved for the ski boats).

the lagoon area followed by a Bring and Braai at the lappa in the ski boat
club. Clinic starts at 14H00 till 16H00, prize giving at 16H30 in the Lappa.
