Another Fantastic Fishing Day for KZN by Adam Kamdar in Durban 21 Nov 24

Another Fantastic Fishing Day for KZN by Adam Kamdar in Durban 21 Nov 24: Starting with a big thank you to Adam Kamdar for keeping us all in the loop from his vantage point right on the Durban beachfront. Todays report reveals another fantastic fishing day for the whole of KZN and right down into the Eastern Cape.

Small waves, sea breeze, overcast…these are the dreamy beach days we have been dreaming about since the windy season.

It is great fishing conditions right up and down. Some places are crystal clear. And you could even find a shorebreak or a bowl to surf as the tide pushes in all morning.

Thanks Adam!

And for the Durban gallery this morning at 7am…

Contributions

And then an invitation to please send in your fishing, surfing or diving pics/stories in to use for inclusion in the news. We don’t give away secrets and spots.

It is also good to share relevant information. Especially if it’s about any pollution, dangers and the like. We have the lifeblood of our economy on their way, tourists, and we best put out the necessary warnings and advisories to keep them safe.

There have been too many drownings and near-drownings already and it’s not even holidays yet. And the polluted water sitting in all of our once-proud nations dams and rivers, is headed this way with the seasonal rains.

Duty to Warn

You have a legal duty to warn people if they are walking into danger. If you don’t, you are committing a criminal act. This applies to tourism organisations and ratepayers like ones we have operating here in UGU.

Bridge is Open at Umbogintwini

“Opening of N2 southern carriageway at Prospecton.

Following final inspection, Sanral contractors in conjunction with Ethekwini roads department, started moving the first of the jersey barriers out of the roadway at 09:34 on Thursday morning.

This is eight days ahead of the anticipated opening of 29 November.

The southern carriageway will be usable mid-morning thus alleviating the need for alternative routes and additional traffic measures”

Cllr Andre Beetge

Next few days…

Are going to be fantastic too. One little welcome blow from the south on Saturday will really make the ocean into a very friendly place to be.

We are moving into neap tides and even more good weather after the weekend. That little southerly blow on Saturday is going to spark up well the newly arrived summer gamefish good and proper.

These coming days are gone be dreamy!

Visibility Report Brighton Beach by The Bear

The Bear reports in with some visibility news at Brighton on The Bluff today. 6 To 7 metres on the backline. But with an ominous green patch moving down slowly from Durban. Get in while you can is the name of this spearfishing game nowadays.

There will be a good few clean water and conditions gaps over the next week to ten days.

Sardines and Sighting Maps

It has been a fantastic sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 191,000 times and just keeps growing.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado! And recently a capsized KZNSB boat! We have been updating the map with recent catches too…

These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for a windy day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
