Fishing Report 24 August 2020
Weather for the Week.
Apart from Tuesday we in for another
cool week with South wind on most days and over caste.
Lagoon
Fishing was great over the weekend and
some very big grunter were caught, I am waiting on permission to use a photo of
a Spotted Grunter that looks to be over 2kg. The Bream were very active chasing
Lures and the 2 guys reporting this also had some great action, they were using
diving lures, stick bait and poppers.
Surf
The side wash hung around over the
weekend makes fishing rather difficult together with sticks in the Doggies main
beach area and some weed at the banks however despite all these challenges some
Shad and Rockcod were caught with some Lessors at main beach and Banks, the Shad
at the banks last night were not very big at all they were making size but none
of them in the 3-5 kg range. We expect the wash to continue during the week but
conditions should stay fishable. An angler has just come off main beach and
says there is still abit of a wash, he caught a Lessor and a small Kob, no weed
but still some sticks in the surf. The Sea Lice have just moulted and are nice
and big.
Ski boat
Good news is the channel in the mouth
has got wider and deeper, there are a lot of logs in the vicinity of the mouth
please keep a look out for them. Gawie got a very big Rubber lips and some small
Kob, Singer, Morph Grunter and Rockcod (lots) with a decent size Barbels to
keep everyone on their toes. Dominique boated a Speckled Snapper of around 2 kg,
Gert and his crew caught a Black Tail, Big Eye Stumpy and some Kob and Slinger.
Whilst fishing was not great they were there.
The Ski Boat club is opening on Wednesday
afternoon a 4pm and the Rock and Surf Anglers and the Rubber Duck club will be braaing,
probably in the Lapa area join in.
