Lagoon.
Fishing over
the weekend should be good with nice warm days and little tide movement, what a
nice time to fish and braai with friends and family at the lagoon. We planning
a session tonight with a braai…..the shop might close early. I have not heard
about and decent fish been caught apart from Willie who got a nice size Lessor
Sand Shark and a Silago which makes nice live bait.
Surf.
We have really
big ground swell coming through which is not good to fish in at the moment,
this has caused a side wash, and the good news is the swell is dropping leaving
a nice colour in the water, good for Kob. Yesterday to the left of main beach
some nice size Shad were caught but no Kob, last night the side wash had really
picked up making fishing impossible. We expect the surf to be back to normal
tomorrow afternoon if the colour holds the Kob will be back.
Ski Boat
This morning 2
jet skis went out but were soon back in a conditions must have been very uncomfortable
and they returned very early however with the sea settling several guys are
going out tomorrow as the weather looks better than Sunday.
Next events.
We are holding a fishing clinic on
the 31 August in the main car park at the lagoon, it is free to enter and we
will be demonstrating different types of traces to target River Bream and we
will also discuss the best places to target them by trying to use their behavior
to enhance our chances of catching one.
