Did a 6 day fishing trip in Kosi in Feb and Easter weekend, fished both sides of estuary and eastuary self ,dropshot/and bait all tides inc spring tide fishing was extremely poor, can anyone shed some light on this, thought Kosi was a good spot ?? maybe tropical storm/cyclone in Moz upset feeding patterns ?? or is it the fishkraals in estuary having an effect on fish in area ??

Mike, which way did the wind blow? Often a South Wester/Westerly wind flattens the sea, brings in cold water and makes the water too clear for the fish to feed. Couple that with pressure problems due to a cyclone and shew... anything can happen! But to have a whole 6 days of poor conditions is not very fortunate, sorry about that. my 2c. But I'm sure there are a lot more theories and opinions out there...
on the 6 day wind was south westerly but not strong just a light breeze water temp was warm in surf zone over easter wind was calm sea temp still good about 15 to 20 guys fishing on beatch but no one was catching cant comment on black rock and bangha nekas i only have 4x2 im adie hard so maybe 3rd time lucky thanx for help...
You will find that when a fantastic spot like Kosi doesn't produce... you can bet your bottom $ that the rest of the North Coast is gonna be blanking too! It's just the way things work sometimes... Whether it's pressure changes, water temp, water clarity or a combination of them all.... sometimes things just don't work, and it will affect the entire Indian Ocean.
