Lagoon.
There is still
a lot of water in the lagoon during high tide which is a good thing as it
allows fish to get to feeding spots that they would not be able to normally, I
think this is because of the rain we have had and we have more to come. Here is
a good chumming tip, take an old sardine and mash it up, mix it with sand so
the sand absorbs the blood and through it into the water and 2m at the most
fish that area and see how many species you can get, 7 is a good number.
Surf.
For the past
few weekends Raggies and Diamonds have been caught although not in great
numbers they are out there, so far the biggest Diamond reported to the shop
this season is 186cm caught by young Hansie. On the edible side catches of Kob and
Tiger Tooth Croaker are been made with the odd Pompano thrown into the mix.
Spinners and Hammer Heads are very quick to the bait carry on fishing as you
are fishing in the feeding zone and something else will come along and grab
your bait.
Ski Boat
Not a lot of fishing
has been happening due to the weather but who would have said today was a good
day to go out the NE is supposed to be gusting 33 but it is not even blowing at
all. Not a lot of people seem to know we are fishing in a Marine Protected Area
which extends from the Port Dunford Light House till near Tinley Manor, the
area of the Tugela Banks is totally restricted for fishing and the area at High
Point is Pelagic only. You may not be in position of any of the Elasmobranchii
family at all not even for bait.
Next events.
