Howzit guys

Well kayak fishing in August has been a cold bumpy ride out at sea with the wind changing direction often and causing the washing machine effect, but on my pinnacle ski i was ready for the challenge, lucky the water temp. has risen from the dire 16 deg. to at least 18.. which made a big diffrence to feeding, i got a nice 12kg queenie, a cuta and a tuna, lots of diffirent species bait fish around,so get your bums in a kayak on www.deepseakayakfishing.com and come catch your snoek! for beginners, our surf trials course is on a special of only R250pp!, i noticed the yellow bill kites have arived from their migration so spring is on the doorstep!

The moon fase is right. The tide is also at sunset and the pressure is also excellent. Yet fisherman is in short supply.

The Garrick are back from their 5 day holiday.
On Tuesday 27 July some nice size Garrick's came out,
Shads were full up and the Garrick's where hungry on the south peer.
Quinten member of Fihszone landed his first 2 beauties between 10.00 and
13.00.Left one 8KG and right on 8.96KG. Jaco van de walt that took
Quinten for his first one also landed a nice size one of about
13.8KG just as the sun came out. Jaco lost one big fish of +-100kg when a
knot in the line broke while the fish was heading straight for the deep.
Everybody's curiosity is still on about the unknown big fish.

Weather Forecast Richards Bay to Cape Vidal

Editor — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:59:10 +0000

Great week for fishing until Thursday. Then Rainy days and very cold nights. Expect really cold evenings by Friday. Saturday en Sunday will clear and Sunday will be a lovely warm day but Saturday evening one should be wearing nice warm clothes because temperatures might drop into the single figures. That alone is good news for next weeks fishing conditions and Shad will be around while these cold conditions prevail.

Richards Bay
Fishing along the Chanel to Green Africa will be good. Low tide expect Grunter hunting for white prawn in the shallows around the cement bridge and in front of Green Africa. Evenings on the West side of Pelican and the east side of Naval Island should be fished with life bait, pinkies or whole sardines.

St. Lucia Estuary to CapeVidal
St. Lucia evenings until 22h00 or from 03h00 till first light. Front of closed Estuary mouth or down towards river mouth. Early morning Ingwe or Jabulani beach for shad. Mid day up at towards First Rocks and the slides. Marker 4 should be clear and deep water.

Mission Rocks on low tide for small scratchings. Cape Vidal South towards light house will need medium to heavy tackle over high tide.

Over all
We should experience a wind change during Friday late afternoon or early evening. The wind still between change will be the sweet spot. All prophets predict Friday as a good fishing day, but we will miss it if the weather turns out as forecast ed … unless we want to rough it.

Good luck and tight lines …

Fun Fishing in Sunny St. Lucia – #2

Editor — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:25:32 +0000

The epic adventure continues as the locals stretches their mussels even further in the endeavor in landing the BIG one. Marius is the friendly gentleman that attend to the customers at Lake View and Estuary Liquor stores. His leisure time you will find him soaking in the sun chasing the big ones that doesn’t get away. Llewellyn spends as much time fishing as working. When he is not meandering the beaches of St. Lucia one can seek fishing advice from him at St. Lucia Supermarket.

St. Lucia Supermarket is situated in the main road of St. Lucia tugged in between PEP Store and Lake View Liquor Store. St. Lucia Supermarket supplies freshly baked bread and bread rolls, Fresh Braai meat and the Boere Wors is a very traditional recipe that braai well and taste just as good. For the hungry anglers on the go will find the familiar taste in the huge sausage rolls that made cold long fishing nights in St. Lucia so famous. Stories grandparents tell their heirs about.

St. Lucia was always a fishing village with the very first people roaming the beaches over 600 – 1000 years ago gathering mollusc’s and living from the wild banana’s growing on the eastern shores. This era was followed with beach huts built on the beach area between the St. Lucia Estuary mouth and the iMfolozi River. Fisherman crossed the swamps on low tide where current day Sugar Loaf camp site is situated and spend a couple of high tides on the beach catching the BIG ones.

Today a very sturdy walk way is built to safely take visitors past the hippo and crocodiles right onto the beach. The Estuary mouth is currently closed due to a prolonged drought, but the fishing on the beach stretching from iMfolozi River mouth to First Rocks is still an experience that legends are made off.
