Mouldie, the Fish River is in a serious state of flood at the moment, I watched two dead hippos float past where I work the day before yesterday and then went and fished at Fish Point yesterday. The water there is so dirty that when my bait hit the water I swear I saw dust fly up. Only caught a barbel! Then went to the west pier and hooked myself a very nice raggie and as i got to the beach and it was close my line parted for no bloody reason!!!! I couldnt believe it!
At least the rags are still very thick down there at the moment so there is something to fish for!!!

Well i saw a show on satelite tv about the breed river in the west coast warming up allot and thus they are noticeing allot of tropical fish there. It might also be that the icecaps are melting so fast pushing all that cold water to our countries. Nobody knows when the world will end but i have a feeling it is near. Look at all the violance and natural disasters. I think that movie 2012 made us realise what is going on. Still waiting for a pro to tell us why all the crab is washing out?

Bru, the Breede river is nowhere near the West Coast, its on the South Coast, but this is only to correct you, not deviating from the topic. Just out of interest sake, what Tropical fish did they mention, because I fish the Breede quite regularly, and havent experienced any Tropical fish. What was the program called, I will look out for it. Cheers RB

Guys im not sure if this is relevant, but here in western australia (and parts of the east I think) we are being affected by a La Nina ocean/atomosphere condition, which has caused the sea temps to be a few degrees warmer than normal here on the west coast and i believe slightly lower than normal on the east coast, has also caused some pretty major floods on both sides of the country.

As a result the fishing has been affected massively, we are catching tropical species such as marlin down here in southern western australia where they are rarely seen, yet some other species seem to have dissapeared this season.

Is it possible this has also altered ocean currents in your part of the world? A long way away i know but came to mind when reading this post.....

I agree the ocean can be affected by things happening far away,I will never forget the Tsunami in Indonesia,(cant remember the year),I was fishing out on the rocks on a low spring tide ,when all of a sudden the water was up to my waist ,at the time I assumed it to be a freak swell but on Tv they showed the effect as far as the coast of South Africa.My late uncle had a house on the klienemonde lagoon which is a blind river but that year it had washed open ,anyway sitting on the deck they noticed waves coming up the river ,only afterwards they realized it was from the Tsunami that had happened the day before,because the sea was as calm as a lake that day

We were fishing on the beach at Cannon Rocks when that happened. I will never forget how big that Spring High was that day. Almost chased us off the beach. 26 December 2004.

Howzit Nightfox. Where in Cannon did he catch those Steenies. Apparently the guys have been battling the last 2 weeks or so to get some decent fish.

If you look in the Lure Fishing the Swartkops thread I saw the guys talking about how good the fishing is in the PE rivers at the moment. They have swimming prawn, wonder why the rivers our side dont.

Do you throw directly into the mouth for the Steenies Mouldie. Or more out to sea.

Dont worry Mouldie my mom and dad will be down in Cannon in a 2 weeks or so. The fishing should start improving my dad throws a line. ha ha.
