Double Spearfishing Report for KZN

Double Spearfishing Report for KZN

Jason Heyne comes through with a double whammy of a Spearfishing report for the last two weeks…

“Sorry cell was stolen last week Friday

We have had epic diving conditions this week the bad news is the 1st big cold front of winter is pushing through now as I write this. Buster south westerly Saturday with big swell the wind drops off on Sunday but the sea probably won’t have settled enough for a dive. Good news is the winter gamefish run is on! Decent fish have been shot the last two weeks. As always dive safe and straight spears.”

Check out all the wahoo featuring in this weeks spearfishing report by the ever reliable Jason Heyne… – Shonalanga

The sea conditions at the start of the week were great then a big north east pushed through on Wednesday which churned the sea up. Thursday and Friday the south west blew cleaning up the south coast. Saturday the swell drops to 1.5m with a light north blowing switching to a moderate north east later in the day. Sunday looks tops with light variable wind all day and a 1.4m swell running. There are big king mackerel patrolling the south coast with garrick and daga salmon starting to make an appearance. Big Natal snoek are back on the north coast. Sunday looks to be the best day for a dive. As always dive safe and straight spears.

Spearfishing report for KZN

Spearfishing report for KZN

A very bad start to April conditions. The coast has been hammered by big surf. Guys launching from DUC have been getting fish. Surf is set to pick up to 2.5m Friday night dropping off during the day Saturday with not much wind. Sunday morning is looking better with a light north east blowing through the day and the surf drops to 1.5m. There is viz Ballito area and middle south coast area. Please be careful if you try Saturday morning. Big surf can be life threatening. Snoek have been a bit ellusive and king mackerel are still north. As always dive safe and straight spears.

“Thank you Jason Heyne for the weekly report”

KZN Spearfishing News by Jason Heyne

KZN Spearfishing News by Jason Heyne

“The ever reliable Jason Heyne reports in weekly with a round up of KZN spearfishing news…this week is  no different, some great catches and good photos, thank you Jason!”

Diving this week has been on and off with early starts required due to the north east picking up every day and this weekend will be no exception. The North East will steadily pick up Saturday and Sunday with the surf picking up and obliterating the inshore come Sunday. Best bet for a dive is early Saturday morning through till mid day Saturday. The best viz has been in and around the middle south coast. Garrick are returning now in shoals so stick to the shallows for a while to bag one. DUC Garrick comp is on tomorrow no weigh in after 4. Guys and gals please be careful where you park your vehicle on the north coast as cars are being stolen and broken into. Try not to stash your keys. As always dive safe and straight spears.

“Enjoy the picture show…”

Underwater news by Jason Heyne

Conditions have been average to above average on the north coast and below average on the south coast this week. Big garrick are patrolling the north coast with some really big shoals on the return run. Brusher season is in full swing with decent fish being shot. Snoek are around north but few and far between shoals. Sardines came out Pennington area Thursday and some big cuda have been spotted out deep. Forecast for Saturday is not looking good with the north easterly blowing from early switching to a south west later Saturday evening. Conditions where pearler today (Friday) on the north coast with 3 ft swell and an average of 10m viz but not much action gamefish wise. Saturday early north looks like the best idea for tomorrow. As always dive safe and straight spears.
