Hi Mel G

Thanks for the details, but no luck...no red eye...and no they dont take orders for them...they dont last long at all. He got some in last week...by the same afternoon they were all gone!:cry1

I also hope so MJ, but that berg wind we had a Saturday, didnt do us any favours... we really need the temp to get down asap 4 the sardines especially... We have just about a month more for the silver tide, so lets hope Mother Nature delivers her bounty...so we can enjoy

Gale force westerly to south-westerly winds (65km/h) were expected east of Port Elizabeth, spreading to Richards Bay.

Meanwhile, very rough seas with waves in excess of 5m were expected to develop between the Orange River Mouth to Richards Bay, moderating from the west.

Is this going to work for us or against us?

Howzit, in my opinion i think that these weather changes bide well for fishing, as this cold spell will definitely drop the water temp drastically. This means that the sardines will make an appearance, lets hope so... The water temp needs to drop to around 17-18 deg, as the optimum temperature... The big swells are a bit worrying though, cos this might cause huge drifts, and move banks, and cover reefs that are close inshore... Lets hope all turns out well after this cold spell...

Hey Volcom.

Personally I have not caught any sharks at Winkies, but I have seen guys trying. I have seen greys and spinners  (1-4Kg range) But you do get some good skates in this place. But around the Silver Tide, you could pick up Blackfins, Bronzies etc.

However I am a bit concerned, most of the guys that have been to Winkies recently have said that the place is really bad for Sharks. Since those heavy tides we have had, it seems that a lot more rocks have surfaced, so playing big fish is going to be a problem, and to make things worse, I see Admin have added a new rule in that we cannot Gaff any fish. So landing sharks off those rocks is going to be difficult, espescially at night. My suggestion, carry a few extra spools of nylon, and lot's of Leader nylon.

Ronald.

What about a braai, It would give us a chance to socialise and get to know the guys.

We can always carry on fishing afterwards...!? What are the guys thoughts...!
