On a recent trip up to Pongola, Mark Shone had a field day fishing the vaste waters of Jozini dam.
This is a great catch by anyones standards…thanks Mark!
And then the fish on the braai, wrapped in tinfoil and all sorts…
And onto the plate…with mash and a garlic roll!
Looks tasty as anything saltwater!
Thanks Mark, keep ’em coming!

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…”
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.
Conditions this week have been below average with a small gap on Wednesday. Good garrick still coming out with dagas still on the wrecks and deeper ledges. The sodwana comp was won by a young guy from Richards bay who deserved the prize. Well done on a 28kg GT stone shot! Apparently everyone was trying to vie for 1st place hangover! The sea conditions are settling nicely for the weekend with Saturday marginal conditions wize and Sunday a pearler of a day. South is the better option with north viz being 3m or less. As always dive safe and straight spears.
