Fishing Report 19 June 2020
At last we will have a break in the weather
and it will be a bit warmer, we Zululand people do not perform well when the
weather drops below 20, Saturday and Sunday will see a high of 24 so we can
move freely about.
Lagoon
Marius and Sarel are down on the
lagoon at the moment and are getting stuck into the Pickhandle Barracuda, River
Bream and River Snapper they are slow trawling as Sarel is probably giving
Marius Couta catching lessons hahahaha. We have dark moon spring this weekend
so we are expecting the fish to be on the bite due to a lot of water movement.
Although high tide is in the afternoon
getting onto the water early will be the best time as the river will
still be full at 6 am and will really empty out around 10am as most of the
river is about 2 hours hrs behind the see tide.
Surf
The main beach is still closed to
fishing and it will only open when all beaches are fully open as it stands now
you cannot walk across the beach to get to the water’s edge. Fishing this week
has been non-existent in such as the weather has no played its part, young Mark
fished on Wednesday during the break in rain and bought his bait back with a
note attached, “great at presentation better luck next time”. He reported no
side wash or weed. This weekend we wave a calm sea and reasonably warm weather
and the main fish been targeted is Kob by sounds of things, due to the shortage
of Chokka good baits are Mullet and Shad fillet.
Ski boat
Launching from the
river and beach will be open soon, the ski boat club is busy sorting the
protocols out with the parks board , please be patient but I am quiet confident
it will be done in time to be able to launch tomorrow and Sunday. The weather
is looking good for a going out and it seems that bottoms are on the target
list, although Nick got some Couta at High point last weekend don’t discount
them and Tuna if you fishing in the bay. I am waiting for a report on the
conditions at the mouth to try give some idea of what to expect when you get
there, during the neap tide it was very shallow with 2 channels running out.
