23 June 2023 Sardine plans for the weekend
23 June 2023 6AM Sardine plans for the weekend: it’s Friday! And the waters here off the coast of southern Kwazulu Natal are laden with sardines. By the shoal! What their plans are for the weekend though, is anyone’s guess.
To get yourself some fresh sardines, start early. Head down to Scottburgh or so. And start scanning. You can rely on the netters to get some for you. Just tag along behind them. At about R50 bucks a dozen. Or you can take your washing basket and go get some yourself. There are dangers. Sharks are wild right now and are seemingly just behaving on reaction. Storm surges from the recent swell also present a problem when wading in the shallows.
Another danger are the sharks in the carpark. Many people have been ripped off by leaving fishing rods or other valuables in their cars. When completely distracted and chasing sardines down on the water’s edge. Criminals are watching and they know fully how to take advantage of sardine fever.
Other than that it all looks to be a fantastic sardine weekend. You can watch yesterday’s video roundup and forecast right here…
