Lagoon
The species count when fishing the
lagoon is still high , Garfish made their appearance over the weekend and some
were very big by their standards, River Snapper are still been caught and Shad
were back in the lagoon at various times but mainly in the river mouth area.
The fishing clinic is still going ahead this afternoon as numbers will be well
below the 100 limit in fact probably around 25 people. I am going to try catch
a Shad.
Surf
This weekend was up and down fishing
wise as the guys targeting big fish did not get any that I know of as the Shad
was quiet thick and taking the baits, Some Spotted Pompano were caught together
with those big Puffer fish. One big Kob ie making size was landed south of the
main beach during the day. The weather for the next few days looks good for
fishing but on Thursday we have a front coming through so to fish just before
it hits will lead to good fishing. I can’t think of anywhere better to self-Isolate
than standing on the beach in the fresh air and sunshine. A big Kob of around
45kg was caught at Amatikulu on Friday night not sure if it was released.
Ski boat
Lots of trawling hours were put in
over the weekend but the bulk of the catches were made comprising of bottoms
and mainly Kob. The tax man also played his part one was so greedy he took have
a nice big Kob then had the Pinky for desert. It seems that only Kob were
caught this weekend with very little else.
