NO Sardine Report 11 June 2017
Yep, it’s one of those. A NO Sardine Report 11 June 2017!
Whilst everyone was focused on the fires in Knysna and Plett and surrounds, and the plight of the people there, the sardines did not try sneak past with the violent weather.
But this is normal for a sardine season. This is only the first real front. After the storm however, would be a great time to be on the look out. Sometimes the storms disillusion the sardines into shore and within reach.
Another two or three cold fronts could be expected, before any real sardine action up in Natal waters.
You can, however, head on down to Port St. Johns and book a ride with Offshore Africa – they are already having sporadic sardine activity in the clear crisp waters of The Wild Coast. And the predators have arrived in numbers. During the week, large pods of common dolphins were coming together off East London and traveling north with purpose and speed. An amazing spectacle filmed by Ant Kobrowisky down there, where Ant is also on the water searching for sards all day every day.

All this can change in an instant, but for now it’s all sardine eyes on the horizon!
