GT vs Big Eye Kingfish in the Umzimkulu PLUS SKZN Beach Reports: fun report today…

welcome back to the sardine news
start this report today with a
with Paul at that Umzimkulu River cruises
hey this is how you can catch fish here
if you wanna go on the river
and have a really good experience
you go with Paul and you gowith him on his
lakka big white boat
there’s no guarantees obviously
but with fish like this in the river
and this by the way
the water was brown when he caught this
he caught it at night time on a bait
funny enough but yeah
that to me that was a
I first I first thought it was a gt
and then I sent it to Duarte and I said
isn’t it a big eye then he said no
it’s a gt then he sent me a picture of a big eye
but it looks like a big eye to me
I don’t know if it’s a gt or a big eye
but you put your
put your reply in the comments there and just be nice
all you people in the comments there
you know
like if someone makes a report and it’s not a seagull
it’s a gannet that
that doesn’t mean anything
what actually means something
is that there’s action in that area
and that’s how come the the guy made the report
so anyway just play nice in the comments gt or bigger
and let’s go check out the South coast this morning
good morning from the sand spit
quite a strong east swell east direction
but a very nice looking ocean nonetheless
Umtentweni and there goes the shark’s board again
quite a few anglers here
haven’t seen anything happen yet
but that’s Lawrence down there
and yeah they’re looking quite excited
moving quite fast
so maybe I missed the action here this morning
quick stop at Southport Beach
this is a lovely place
in the old days it had shark exclusion nets
those three pillars you see there
those four pillars you see there in the sunlight
so those were exclusion nets
and now there’s the same sharks board boat coming past
burning petrol those two eighty fives
salaries the whole lot
Land Cruisers cost
like a hundreds of millions a year to
to do to kill sharks and there’s no bathers
ha ha ha ha
well I went swimming yesterday
well I went snorkeling
I don’t know if it counts
but you know that’s a lot of money
these guys just blast out for nothing eh
kill animals
alright Orcas Beach
looking pretty peachy
and a big thanks to Orcas right there
who’s sponsoring the show today
in the whole of February in fact
and my goodness it was busy there on Sunday
maybe marketing with the Sardine News really does work
that place was cranking
9:00 o’clock in the morning for breakfast
delicious breakfast starts at 8:30
and so
it turns out the south coast is still paradisical
in February it’s been hot though oh
it’s been warm
let’s just hope that these rains stay away
and once again we got we dodged a bullet
this big storm came through and went through Harding
and completely flooded that place
and I thought it’s gonna come to us and it didn’t
it just made the water a little bit brown
and there was a big plume going out to the sea
yesterday as you can see here
um but it has recovered again
it recovers so fast around here on the south coast
but cool
then the marketing we were just talking about earlier
it does seem to work so yeah
is your opportunity to jump on this map
before it gets populated
we’re going to limit the slots obviously
to about 100 or something like that
but we’ve got quite a few
as you can see on the on the map board here
this is a piece of the map that
I’ve got some pieces of
but the actual map is on the Sardine News
you just go and click the Sardine Map 2026
and then you’ll see all the latest
sightings activity in the ocean
all kinds of weird things that we’re gonna be logging
flat out so that uh
people can use this data for their like
theses and all kinds of stuff
there’s 5 years worth of data on there so yeah
get on the map
and you’re doing a really good thing for conservation
and and for the Sardine news alright
enjoy your day like and subscribe
might get a report later Ciao
