Lagoon.
Kiddies clinic was great fun , even though there was no top surface
activity the River Bream kept them busy, the first few caught were of a good
sixe there after they seemed to keep getting smaller, towards the end when most
of the kids were playing in the water , the Bream kept biting. Most unusual fish
caught was a Silago or Banana Fish. Water is getting cleaner by the day.
Surf.
Friday and Saturday were very productive again but Sunday with the SW it
was a blow out to say the least. On the main beach the Anglers were plagued by “Pocket
Shad” yet some nice Diamonds were landed, no big Shad and very few made over
30cm. A few Snapper Cob were caught. Got some nice Mac’s in this morning as
well as some Giant Sugar Mac’s that look like Bonnies. The Natal Redeye Sard
also arrived and are looking very good. The sea is looking like coffee but we
are still going to go down this evening for a throw. Why not?
Ski Boat.
I believe some boats took advantage of the calm conditions and went fishing,
my informants report very little activity and I hope to learn more this week as
to what transpired. The water in the bay at the moment is very much discolored
but with the NE and E blowing this week it should clear up.
Next events.
Next monthly mug will be on the 4 March at the Umlalazi Ski Boat Club.
