KZN SARDINE RUN

[Lance Grobler]

It seems to be happenning. the nets were lifted today, there is a lot of sardine activity at Red Sands which is approx 15km South of Port Edward. a strong southwesterly wind blowing and a good chance of seeing the elusive little fish by the weekend. Tight Lines Lance Grobler

Yeah - Roll on the Sards!!!!! Maybe the guys fishing the Mallards comp at Shelley Beach will get some benefits?

 

[Lance Grobler]

I here a Cuda of 30 odd kilos was landed amongst the sards this am.

 

[Guest]

was that from the rocks or from boat?

 

[Sharky2]

wow,now that would be a dream come true.awesome stuff...

 

[Lance Grobler]

a compo entrant in the Mallards festivlle (boat) looking good for a new Motor Vehicle I would say!!

 

[royboy]

If a 30Kg couta comes out on day 1, there could be some crocodiles boated over the rest of the comp. Taking home a new Cobra is a big incentive.

 

[Lance Grobler]

ye unfortunatley the cobra will only go to the biggest Tuna, the crocodiles hunt the cars in this comp. Ha Ha must sound as if we are talking Swahili to the untrained ear.

 

[BeachRunner]

Some kings in the mix...30kgs must be a hell of a fight!

 

[Lance Grobler]

Im sure it must be a hell of a fight, and I hope that one day when Im big I wll catch one from the beach / Rocks of that size,  I got one  of 24kg is my biggest and that was awesome. I had another bite straight away but it broke the 6/0 Diachii in half ( we had to come back from Moz with at least 1 war story). sorry no photo ESA copy rights.

Hi Lance, spoke to Onde Onda (Johann) last night and he said that a Couta of 19.6Kg was weighed in. Not sure which boat or angler, but apparently was the only one on the board. Someone fishing further South maybe? Shelley Launch was closed yesterday as it was called a 'Blow Out'. Onde said that today was looking good to launch.

Will be interesting to see if anyone runs South to look for action around the Sard shoals..... if they are within range. There could be some decent swimming Sashimi that could result in a new boat for someone?

Cheers, RB

 

[Lance Grobler]

hey bud the top cuda in is Ant Dafillipi - local angler 27kg, the one of 19 I hear has dropped to 3rd.

 

[royboy]

Lekka!!!!! So the lads are getting into the Couta biggies. A 27 is not shabby at all.....nice fish.

Be great to see what the species count and sizes are at weigh bay tomorrow afternoon..... any YFT yet?

 

[Lance Grobler]

I know of a  17kg yft
