5 PM SARDINES Update by Kevin in Qora 19 June 2024 and it’s all GOOD NEWS
5 PM SARDINES Update by Kevin in Qora 19 June 2024 and it’s all GOOD NEWS: Kevin has analysed the day and comes up with only GOOD Sardine News this sunny KZN winter’s afternoon.
Over to Kevin…
?How’s it everyone? This is Kevin at Qora Mouth, just north of Mazepa Bay in the Southern Transkei. Oh, we’re getting some lovely reports of the sardines moving north. In case it in multiple reports – Manaba beach, Mtwalume, St. Mike’s this morning. So this shoal is actually moving, but it is a little bit off the coast.
So they’re not hugging the coast and not in netting distance right now. So there I would estimate about a kilometer to a kilometer and a half out. So obviously as we said before, they’ve found a little bit of cold water out there. And they’re just moving slowly northward. Which is good that they’re staying close.
They’re not going out into the deep. And all we can hope for now is that the south swell that’s really dominant right now down here is going to move them in closer. And what tends to happen on the KZN coast is that as they reach the warmer water, that little cold plume that they’re in will start coming closer and closer into the beach.
And it’ll kind of squeeze them into the beach where they get within a striking distance of everyone. So yeah, we have also just heard of a net that’s gone in right now at Hibberdene late afternoon It’s about just after 4 4 30pm. So net has just gone in and we’ll wait for confirmation whether they got anything or not But normally the guys don’t launch launch unless they see that they’re within netting distance So yeah, that’s all we got for today Let’s hope for better things tomorrow You But the sards are definitely on the move.
Cool guys. Talk to you soon. Cheers
THANK YOU KEVIN!
