Lagoon.
Was very busy but with mainly small catches and those that were at the
spots never reported any big fish landed. In the evening saw a turn around with
some nice decent size Grunter caught.
Surf.
A big Javelin (Morph) Grunter was landed of 3.2 kg from the main beach, normally
these are Grunter of this size is landed by the Ski Boats. This was caught in
the same area as the Rockcod are. I.e. main beach in front of the Siyayi. Apart
from that lots of Cob and Snapper Cob were caught, the Cob were all undersized
and returned. I quote a Zululand Angler “there was defiantly something big out
there over the weekend”.
Ski Boat.
Not a good weekend for fishing the boats that went out of Richards Bay
had Tax problems and the good old Sharks were making a nuisance of themselves
as a result not many fish were boated.
