Lagoon.
A Russell
Snapper was caught in the week as well as some nice size Grunter in the Port
Dunford area, me thinks the summer fish are coming back, great news as the
species on offer make a great day out for the species anglers. The crabs are
full of meat and are taking a variety of baits, if you are keeping them please
may sure you have ticked block 8 on your license and have paid for it the Giant
Mud Crab is a delicacy worldwide enjoy them. They do bite hard so be very
careful when handling them.
Surf.
The surf zone
has been tough to fish in over the last few days with the South wind not
helping at all however what it has done is move the whale closer to the main
beach, I was going to look for it this morning but with the heavy rain we
having to do a 1.5km trip up the beach it soon became a big no no. Get big
juicy baits over the whale as I suspect the sharks are still hanging about
waiting for the whale to move deeper into the water. MAC (Mtunzini Angling Club)
are fishing league on Sunday and we wish them well and safe travels, we look
forward to seeing you guys when you get back and no war stories, we want to
hear about the big ones you caught and not about the big ones that got away.I
get calls about what is biting, I think the last time decent fish were caught
was on Monday at Shangri La beach with Kob being the main species, the weather
over the weekend and into next week is northerly wind which will bring the fish
back. The sad news is early in the week the guys saw the Garrick in the back
line heading south so it seems they are moving back. We have got some really
fresh sards in this week, they so fresh when you open the box to check they
wink at you.
Ski Boat
Speaking to
Peter Jacobs from Ocean Life regards the Turtle nest found on the beach he
asked the guys to be careful around the shallow reefs especially Glenton Reef
area on your approach, the females are gathering there before moving onto to
the Sodwana area to nest and it would be sad to hit one with your boat. Good
luck to the guys fishing the Richards Bay Garrick comp this weekend the
conditions do not look bad at all.
Next events.
