Lagoon
As quiet as the surf fishing was it
seemed the lagoon although free of side wash was just as uneventful as we have
had no reports of fish being of size or noteworthy been landed and it was not
for the lack of trying as there were quite a few anglers trying their luck.
Surf
2 good reasons to come to Mtunzini
this weekend, the Spinner comp on Saturday and the casting comp on Sunday, see
below. Fishing was a nightmare over the weekend with rough seas on Saturday and
a side wash of note on both days, about the most exciting event was an angler
getting a hook stuck in his finger, fortunately the surgery was open and the
Doctor could remove it followed by a nice shot of Tetanus. His hand slipped
while tying a knot I quote “I bad lapse in concentration” he is on the mend and
was fishing on the lagoon yesterday.
Ski boat
Nothing to report
Next events.
We are running a Spinner Shark competition
on the 13 July fishing from 6am to 6 pm, you can fish for the whole 12 hours or
for as long as you would like. Spinners feed around the banks and will take any
fishy bait i.e. Sard, Mackerel and Bonnies etc. Entry fee is R15.00 per angler
which goes towards the meat hamper to be handed out on Sunday morning at 10am. After
the prize giving the Mtunzini Rock and Surf club will be holding a casting competition
on the main beach there are 2 formats for multiplier casting and one for
Scarborough and Grinder, bring you own equipment. This is followed by an bring
and braai at the ski boat club.
The Honorary Officers for the Siyayi Park are having a Golf Day on
the 13th of July 2019 to do
some fund raising to support the good work they do. At the shop we are
collecting donations to hand in at the golf day, the money will be used to buy
fuel for extra anti-poaching patrols your support will be gratefully received.
