I was +/- 60cm long and there was a hole next to it in the sand.

It is some sort of a sea snake I'm just taking a wild guess??

 

[Abaddon]

Looks like an eel of some sort..
Aqua, you the guy that usually has an answer, what you rate..

It is a brown Congo eel. They love sardine bait. Lots in St Lucie lake system

Cheers

Could be a fresh water eel? There are plenty of them further up the estuary close to pine creek holiday resort.

Normally an Eel would have Pectoral fins, difficult to tell from the pic otherwise I would guess 1 of the Sea snake species.

[Inky Squid]

There were no fins present.

Would also go with a sea snake

What was the colour?

dink jy praat van n snoek paling.
conger eels look more or less the same as normal freshwater eels. much thicker in body
that looks like a type of sand eel often called in afrikaans - slangetjie

 

[adam5016]

if it had a sharp hard end on tail its a type of sand eel for sure

 

[Hound]

I think it is a slender gaint morey eel. It is fairly common in the river systems in Zululand. They can get really big - 2m and more...

Bascanichthys kirkii
