13 June 2023 Sardine Report

13 June 2023 Sardine Report: another beautiful day revealing itself. But, where are the sardines? The water temperature is a warm 22 degrees Celsius here on the SKZN coast. A tad warm. But the ocean is glassy and you will be able to spot sardines and other marine animals miles away.

Yesterday

Was an action-packed sardine Monday, the first nets were deployed very early just north of Port Shepstone. Then Scottburgh saw a few shoals in the surf zone. Three nets were set and about 5 crates came in. The last nets of the day went in at Rocky Bay who did a lot better.

Today

6 am – recces have gone out and we await news…big swells coming up from the south.

7 am – Sardines, sharks and birds in the waves at Doonside. And many sardines in the Scottburgh north area.
