Lagoon.
Lots of activity in the lagoon with some very nice size River Bream
landed. The parks board have been very active I removing gill nets, they do a
great job and work tirelessly at this and mostly during unsocial hrs. The water
colour in the lagoon is good as we had no real rain this past week. Don’t for
get to take some heavy tackle to target Diamonds they like to take live mullet,
there are also reports of Shad in the cleaner water at the mouth area.
Surf
Fishing has been good and bad this week with Tuesday been the best day,
NE wind and hot Wednesday and Thursday saw a howling SW however those that
fished managed a few fish but no Big non eds , there are still very big Shad about
and lots of small Kob and baby Hammer
head Sharks. I took my Christmas present ( Saltist Med with a Grandwave X and
11.5 kg Kingfisher High Abrasion line) and managed a big Shad and a Lessor Sand
Shark on my fist 2 throws. On Tuesday an Angler whilst fighting a Diamond on
the main beach had is smashed up by a Shark before he could get it over the lip
and got nothing of the Diamond back, was he pumped when he came back, he said
it was an awesome experience. The water colour on the main beach is looking
good however we were fishing with a Drone this morning and there was a bit of a
current beyond the back line and all the big baits were coming back with small
shark or shad damage but no pickups. Port Dunford has been fishing well and I
expect it to do so this weekend especially as the NE is forecast.
Ski boat.
Today is the best day for boating so far this week, we watched a boat
launch from the beach this morning and they headed for home reef probably for
livies then headed towards Gerries and when I left the beach they had not
returned, the water looks good, we believe another boat launched from Richards
Bay but have no further news. So far I believe this boat has boated a nice Dorado.
I am away from Sunday till Friday night and will try get a report out by
Saturday 1 Dec.
