Sardines Reported 14 May 2021 from Morgans Bay

Welcome back to the most up-to-date sardine run 2021 reporting YouTube Channel and website – The Sardine News.

Morgans Bay

A very positive triple-up report from the Morgans Bay area, just north of East London. The trio verify each other with near-exact descriptions of the action and combining of elements. And location. Kilometres of sardines, with thousands of birds, and the usual plethora of marine wildlife in chase. Humpback whales were also reported along with hundreds of dolphins and gamefish.

Perfect timing

Actually, this is perfect timing, for these first shoals to make their appearance. It bodes well for a good season and we need not even get too excited about these first shoals. Except that, they often have the gamefish with them. Winter gamefish hang around for the sardine run, patrolling up and down the coastline in search of the huge free meal. So they are often at the first few smaller and stretched out shoals. And they seem to out-pace the sharks. Who more lazily stick to the massive shoals that are still coming.

Aloes

Baby buds forming up for the sardine run 2021 season.

The aloes on the KZN coastline and further south, are the most reliable indicator, as far as we can tell from the years. And they have hardly started budding. Although they are getting some colour. And when the “red hot pokers bloom”, that’s when the sardines will arrive en-masse.

So, make sure you do not miss out on any sardine action and whereabouts, by subscribing to this channel.

Although we do feature surfing and diving along with fishing, we realise that this time of the year is all about the sardines.

And so we commit to being extra diligent as we gather and report on the sardine run this 2021.
