Yesterday
afternoon cars were been turned away at the entrance of the park and this could
be because the park had reached its capacity of 75 cars, this will probably
happen again on New Year’s day when there is a huge influx of day visitors, to avoid
this go in early i.e. before lunch time. The Pick Handle Barracuda are taking
baits so it you are spinning or trawling put a short piece of wire on your lure
or bye bye R70.00, they have very sharp teeth. Although the Stumpies are just
making size they do not have much meat so if you don’t mind put them back so
they can get bigger.
Surf.
Yesterday we
had guys fishing all over the place and it was nice receiving reports as the
day went on. The main target was Diamonds of which few were caught however
fishing in a South wind is not ideal for these specimens. Some nice big Shad
were caught as well as Kob around 54 to 57 cm just not making size one of 72cm
was reported. Chris managed a Java Shark of 88kg , these sharks are not very
common and are very similar to a Zambie and one of the easiest ways to tell
them apart is the first Dorsal Fin is 3.2 times longer than the second Dorsal
Fin. Some Milkies were also reported so they seem to be back after a long
absence. The Spotted Pompanos I have seen are a pretty decent size and they are
more easily caught in shallow water or on sand banks try using a small rod and
cast in maybe 20m with a number 1 hook even put 2 hooks if the wave pulls back
and you bait is exposed leave it there as the Pompanos come in the then wave
and even swim on their sides to fish, have fun.
Ski Boat
Nanook went out
deep yesterday and they were rewarded with some Tuna which some they had to
share with the tax man. Unfortunatly the
weather being as it is we are not getting much chance to go out and most trips
are being done on the river trawling up and down and having a braai.
Next events.
