Lagoon.
Luca won the Kiddies Comp on Saturday, fishing was tough due in part to
the lack of water however a Bream of over 30cm was landed, the second big one I
have seen in the last few days. The mouth is very wide and deep and we think
this is the reason the lagoon is very shallow at low tide. This is also why it
is taking so long to fill out in the same time it empties very fast.
Surf.
Friday night was very good for fishing with a group of guys landing 4
Raggies and a Diamond using Mullet and Mac’s, the Diamond was swam out but got
eaten off buy a big fish. We not sure what it was. Another Huge 6kg Shad was
landed during the day, Saturday and Sunday was fairly quiet on the beach with
mainly little Spinners and Blacktip’s coming-out.
Ski Boat.
We took 2 guys out from Middle Burg on a Charter on Friday and they were
well rewarded with 9 Species of fish. Javelin or Morph Grunter, Slinger,
Soldier, Cat Faced Rockcod, Squaretail Cob, Rubber Lip, Cave Bass, Yellow Belly
Rockcod and a Dane of 1.5kg. No gamefish were caught over the weekend that we
know off. Needless to say the surf conditions changed on Sunday so we never
went out.
Next events.
Umlalazi Ski Boat club is planning to hold a Bottom
Fishing Competition in August ,
more detail to follow.
