Fishing Report 15 June 2020
The cold weather seems to be here for
the remainder of the week with some big rain forecast however that will not
deter the diehard angler.
Lagoon
In spite of the cold weather the
lagoon was very busy over the weekend with everybody keen to get onto their
boats, however due to the boats lying idle for some time now there were several
reports of misbehaving motors but hey that adds to the adventure. Fishing wise
there are a lot of young fish biting mainly Grunter, River bream, River Gurnard
and even Pickhandle Barracuda. River Snapper and big Kob seem to be elusive, I
think the lack of big Kob could be due to the fact night fishing in not allowed
as the lagoon is only open from 6am to 3pm.
Surf
The main beach is still closed to
angling however with the sea been on its head over the weekend those that did
try catch fish in other spots battled with a very strong side wash, 8oz sinkers
were been washed out literally within seconds of been casted in. The side wash
looks to be here for most of the week which is not good for fishing at all. The
best place or area to fish will be the river mouth at Port Dunford.
Ski boat
There was a break in at the Ski boat
club on Saturday night and rods and reels as well as the trailer spare wheel
and batteries were stolen from a boat. The rods are for catching Couta and the
reels are Shimano TLD’s please be on the lookout for them and if you are
offered these rods and reels please do the right thing and hand them in either
to the shop or the ski boat club. Some boats did brave the big swell and I believe
some Tuna were boated, Young Sarel is out there as we speak having launched
from Richards Bay as out launch sites are still closed to launching to go out
to sea.
