Sardine Netters head South: yesterday saw a thriving ocean out off Leisure Bay down on the lower KZN South Coast. Sardines are suspected. It is still way early in any sardine season and there definitely could be more on the way right now.

Sardine Maps

Having intel to make the right decisions can save you hours and hours of frivolous sardine hunting. We have taken great care to log the activity of each sardine run since 2021. These records are available for anyone to look at.

If you study the maps year to year, you will see that right now we are only just in the middle of good sardine conditions. And that in previous years catches were made right into the summer months.
