HUGE Waves and HUGE Shoal of SARDINES by Kevin in Qora PM Report 8 July 2024

HUGE Waves and HUGE Shoal of SARDINES by Kevin in Qora PM Report 8 July 2024: a HUGE welcome back to Kevin in Qora who checks in today with amazing news…

THERE ARE MORE SARDINES COMING!

How’s it, everyone? This is Kevin at Qora Mouth. just north of Mazepa Bay in the southern Transkei. Well, we thought it was over. And I thought it was over. You haven’t heard from me in a couple of weeks because I was convinced that we were winding down on the sardine run and I’m sitting here on the 8th of July looking out to sea and there is a massive shoal.

Moving north. Thousands and thousands of gannets. This shoal stretch is about a two-kilometer stretch. It’s quite far out. It’s about three to four kilometers out, but it is moving north fairly fast. While I’ve been watching it, it’s moved already about, oh, about a kilometer, and that’s over a 10 minute period.

So obviously there’s a big south swell running. And a huge south swell is imminent from that cyclone off of the tip of Africa. So this shoal is going to actually get moving. I’m not really up to date with water temperatures up north of us, but I know down here by us, close in, it’s still pretty warm.

It’s about 22 degrees. But this shoal is a bit deeper, so maybe they found a colder patch. And let’s hope they make it to Port St. John’s, which is the first port of call. And that’s where we’ll get another positive confirmation of this. But I can definitely say that there’s something huge coming back up north. Which might be round number two.

It is only early July and this is probably the time that they should be arriving. So yeah, let’s keep fingers crossed and let’s hope this one makes it into KZN Waters. It’s not over till, um, yeah, till that lady sings. You know that lady. Anyway, chat to you guys later, and I’ll keep you updated as things happen my side.

Cheers.

THANK YOU KEVIN!
