Lagoon
Nothing of significance was caught over the weekend apart
from a lot of different species of juvenile fish and Eel, the crabs seem to
have been off the bite although a few were caught. With the Kob size increasing
in the surf zone it will not be long before they are going to be caught in the
lagoon especially early in the morning and late afternoon into the evening.
Surf
Still lots of baby sharks been caught despite there being a
strong side wash going in to low tide however it seemed stronger on the left
hand side of the main beach than that of the right hand side. On Sunday morning
Ivan managed a 72cm (3.62 KG ORI) Squaretail Kob caught to the right on the
main beach on a Sard Chokka combo some small Southern Pompano and small sharks
were landed. Ben reports from Mboyeni (Amatikulu) there were a lot of small
Snapper Kob and Lessor Sand Sharks caught and early in the morning a nice size
Kob of plus minus 4kg was caught nice stuff. We are planning a trip tomorrow to
Shangri La Beach leaving from the BP at 6am anyone is free to join. Dup just
popped into the shop, they fished Shangri La yesterday and caught Pompanos,
small Kob and some spinners but the side wash got to them, and they also
snapped a rod which helped end the outing.
Ski boat
Louis on Sea Cruiser decided to take his daughter Skye on
her first ski boat fishing trip Couta was the intended target but they got none
however she still managed a nice Slinger and a double up at that, conditions
were not as great as forecast and they returned back to the mouth which was now
in low tide and very shallow, Skye is also good at pushing boats over sand
banks, another good lesson learnt. Well done on your first trip. I quote from
the skipper of Nanook who was also out on Saturday “It would have been more constructive
sitting at home drinking beer”. It was a pity fishing was slow as the sea
conditions were predicted to be good.
