PM Update: Durban Fishing Report from the Water – Rainbow Runner by Adam and Schalk

Durban Fishing Report from the Water 10 Sep 24 by Adam and Schalk who are actually fishing right now: this report took a total of 4 minutes to put together! Definitively a record. But then, it took a full 15 minutes to upload! Either way, today’s report is special in that it comes straight from the water.

And is very on time!

Over to Adam…

Early Durban Fishing Report by Adam and Schalk out at sea right now

Adam and Schalk are out there and making sure nothing goes on or slips by without us knowing about it. They are gonna hunt around for winter gamefish like bonnies, tuna and ambos. Looking forward to the results of their trip.

The ocean is flat as a pancake with a gentle and organised little swell running through to the beaches. The swell is from a weird SSE angle which should make it to the shorebreak for the surfers waiting there.

The light SW wind blowing now will be unceremoniously replaced by the usual NE trades in the afternoon. These winds are going to blow most afternoons coming up. It’s a question of when they start that will depict your day. But for now, early mornings as we move into summer, are the better option by far.

Watch out for colder water bluebottles as the East winds really get up later this week.

Stay tuned for more reports as they come in through the day. All the reports compile ultimately to https://thesardine.co.za.

Right here!

Noon update…

Humpback Whale and Calf Cavorting out off Durban by Adam and Schalk who are out there right NOW!

The Sardine News 2024 Marine Sightings Map is populating fast. Luckily we had a few cool sightings from recent months that we could log on to the interactive map and move it along. It is looking fun and colourful right now.

And today the 10 September 2024 we have Adam and Schalk on patrol out off Durban right now. They launched earlier and have had some excellent fishing so far. And then Adam lucked into this rad video sequence of a humpback whale mother and calf interacting.

This sighting is headed straight for The Sardine News 2024 Marine Sightings Map.

Sardine n 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 180,000 times and 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!

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.
