It’s been a slow but consistent season fishing for dorado down on the south coast of KZN. Not much rain again causes concern – there was hardly much brown water – it comes and goes with the tides. Some theories attest that the rain sweeps nutrients from the land and into the ocean where it’s needed by all the tiny sea creatures, as nutrients.
But it’s mainly been the adverse weather caused by the cyclone sweeping air straight at us, that has made for the slow season. Just getting out there is a challenge! Interestingly, Tofinho Point in Inhambane, Souther Mozambique, has been breaking every day with absolutely beautiful conditions. That stretch of coastline is blessed as the tail of the cyclones whips the air offshore and all the while a strong easterly swell. Heaven!
But for now, it’s hoping and praying for rain from the south…come on south westerlies!
It’s that time again!
The Umzimkulu Marina is hosting another one of it’s famous fish braai’s on Sunday 1 March 2015.
Fresh fish in many guises – complimented with chicken and vegetarian dishes, served on the riverside green grass at the Umzimkulu Marina. (Lot 931 Sugar Mill Rd – approximately a kilometer after Spiller’s Wharf when coming from Port Shepstone the river way).
There is plenty parking so drive right in – the cooking starts at noon but many make a day of it and arrive as early as just after church!
BYO beer and refreshments, a chair to sit on, or a blanket and umbrella to really get comfortable. You can also bring your fishing rods, and free boat rides on the river will run all day.
The cost is R80 per person, kids R30.
