Good day Folks , well , we have a huge sea at the moment with that front having just passed and we going into a bright moon spring from tomorrow , with full spring on Friday , we have a high pressure ridging in with a cut off low forming on the west coast , which seems pretty weak as it stands...
The wind will still be light west through to tomorrow morning and then shift to east ...the cold fronts off of Gough , may now only reach us on Saturday late ...
From now untill the weekend I think the window will be Friday morning and Saturday arvie ....
The tides will have a variance of around 1.9m on the incoming , so please be on the lookout for that surge as it washes in ...
You have a low tide at 09h40 on friday and a low at 10n07 on Saturday , so you Sat arvie session will be on a pushing tide...
Will give a last update tomorrow arvie...

Mornings Folks , as you look at the synoptic , we can see why we had those huge seas , both those big fronts slipped off way south and hence we saw the big seas...that little coastal low is being persistant BUT , I think that high ridging in will squash it , although it may bring much needed rain....
I still say that the window for a session will be tomorrow morning on the outgoing and possibly Saturday arvie on the push....
We will have a look at the updated synoptic after 12h00 today..
stay tuned...

Mornings folks , well , the weekend produced no kobbies for me , I do believe some shad came out at the odd spots where the blue water had pushed in ...other than that it sounded pretty quiet along our piece of coast...
The water temp was around the 20 mark , but still pretty grubby in most places , thr barometer did not move much and there is a rather serious looking cold front off of CT , Im talking about the one in the synoptic coming past Gough..
Whether it makes landfall in East London , we wait and sea...the update after 12h00 today will tell us another story ...
Tides are back to neap this coming weekend with mid day lows , more about that as we get closer to the weekend...
Some pics of the water on Sunday morning...
Stay tuned..

Good day Folks , quite funny how ALL these social media platforms have created a rather "panic" modern society of people...
We have rather normal pre full winter weather systems coming along our coast and the call to arms , bar the trumpets for battle , are being sounded...
...and the call for business to close , schools etc etc....damn...there is a generation of soft asses coming through the ranks...
I remember a weekend fishing trip with my step Dad out to a favourite spot called Cove Rock , this spot held a multitude of fish and on any given weekend would have at least 7 or so beach buggies parked on the dune at Cove Rock...the particuliar weekend was a long weekend with the Monday being a holiday and my Dad was off duty that whole weekend , so , Covies was the place to be , right tides ..BUT the east may blow on Saturday...we pack the buggy on Thursday night as Friday was a 3AM start ,,,...my Mums Rodeo , which was a station wagon type buggy , was also packed as we were going to overnight at Covies...
Sooo...My Mum in her Rodeo with most of the kit and my younger brother and younger step brother...my Dad , older step brother and my middle brother in his buggy , rods all on ...
Friday we hit the road , get to Hickmans river mouth where you enter the beach stretch to Covies...tide was out some ways and it was hard sand all the way to the jump as we called it , a smallish , but VERY soft sand dune to get over and then Covies is just a kay away....the excitment was tangible , could taste it...My dearest Mum gets the Rodeo bogged down on the jump and we all out to push and pull...
We eventually set up at Covies by 07h00...My Mum gets the tarp set up between the buggies and starts breakfast , us older boys start with hetting mullet in the shallows...my dad starts rigging his two Sylaflex 14footers for the livies and the kob...
Was a very quite Friday fishing and as night settles in , we are joined by another two buggies...the kob come on thick by 21h00 and by 01h00 the next morning the kob have dissapeared ...us kids are tired and we catch some shut eye under the tarp...07h00 we up and about throwing spoon for shad and we get our quota quick quick...
At around 09h00 , the buggies start arriving and by 11h00 its like a railway station at peak hour ...15 buggies in total...
My toppie takes a walk to the very top of Covies and comes back to tell us , get all lines in put all the rods under the buggies ...take the tarp down and my Mum is questioning ...whats happening???...all my toppie said ..big east coming!!!...
Within an hour the east was gale!!!...buggies were pulling out left right and centre....us???...well we all climbed into the Rodeo and sat tight ...we sat in the Rodeo playing cards , eye spy and slept ...at around 16h00 my toppie said , right lets get out ....
the east had all but gone and the sand was banked up against both buggies on the side and you couldnt even see the wheels...
My Dad said , as he looked at the water ...tonight we gonna smack the kob....well , folks ....By Sunday morning at 06h00 we will still hooking kob ,
My shoulders were finished from throwing net for live bait and by 10h00 we were on our way back home , as buggies were passing us to go to covies...
That was over 47 years ago and i remember it like yesterday....my point....modern society has got soft....
Anyhow i digress , just a bit...synoptic will be updated later and then we can see where we are for this coming weekend...
Stay tuned...
