Sorry no report was done on Friday because we were busy with
yearend and taking stock and adding it by item to a spread sheet took up most
of the day, thank you the Anglers for the support as we are now carrying 804 different
items and still adding more as the people request it, for example we now Stock
20/0 circle Hooks and 16/0 J Hooks we also have Glass Rattles, I think these
will be great for Kob fishing for some reason.
Lagoon
In spite of the influx of Pelicans the fish still seem to be
feeding and catches of Bartail, River Bream and Malabar Rockcod are being made
together with the odd Kob of which some are nearly making size. Live prawns and
Glassies seem to be the favourite bait apart from the usual squid, Sards, Bait
Prawn and artificials. Some nice catches of River Snapper have been made and
with the new moon spring tomorrow and the big tidal push should see more
Snapper been caught especially in the area of the mouth.
Surf
Be careful on the beach for the next few days as there are
blue bottles in the water as well as on the beach, if you have young children
with you it might be better to fish the lagoon, these are normally blown in by an
East wind. Last evening when we left the beach the water was starting to get
clean and with the sunshine today and I assume nothing changed it might be a
good day to do some spooning, the big Shad are about. Last Thursday the Main Beach
was the place to be as Riaan managed 2 diamonds and some Kob they also managed
to get some Shad between 700g and 1.5kg. On Diamond was caught on a Bonnie head
with Mac flap and the other on a live Shad both baits were slid out. I notice
there is a tendency to by Anglers saying the PE Mac’s from Adcan are no good
yet the local Anglers ae catching big Shad, Cob and the odd Diamond with them
plus of coarse Rats and Mice. Some nice size Pompano have been caught on both
Sard, Crab and Sea lice.
Ski boat
Amatikulu Ski Boats club fished their Couta Classic this
weekend called the Cape to Rio at Cape Vidal and most of the local were
involved in that some very nice size Couta were caught as well a variety of fish.
Due to this been the draw card we do not know if anyone fished here in our
local waters, there are some nice fishing days this week with Wednesday looking
the best according to the fishing apps, by the way today is a good fishing day
with cleanish water and a good reading on the fishing App if one goes by that.
Next events.
We have an 8 sleeper house (can sleep
10 as it has 2 double beds) should a group want to hire it, it is self-catering
with ample bait storage space.
