Shad Report by The Sardine News
Shad Report by The Sardine News: from the lower KZN South Coast…
hey welcome back Sardine news
although it could be the shad news these days
what’s happening
I’m sick and tired of Sardines that’s for sure Alrighty
um shad report coming up
this is our new headquarters by the way
we’re still on the Umzimkulu evidently and uh yeah
give us a shout if you wanna go fishing
it’s a great river
it’s got very good fishing alright
we’re going to start with our big fish
shad fishing expedition this morning Ciao
good morning from Orange Rocks
where there’s nothing happening
these guys are trying their hardest
so did we at the Block one guy got a fish
there is sardines out the back there
dolphins klapping them
must be some tuna behind that lot
good morning Splash Rock Port Edward usual traffic jam
on and off the rocks
sea looks absolutely beautiful today
been watching for a little while now
no shad come out
I will watch and report back tight lines everybody
okay well
we’re fishing in a secret spot
not gonna tell you where it is
but Emilio’s got one
and I got one on the little MYDO there
yes keep on using those baits
and then I got a much bigger one
with a double hook rig whole side
around the corner from Splash Rock to our right there
sea very choppy as you can see
no shad came out to either
Cheers from Port Edward tight lines
well it’s not all about shad too
it’s just all about game fish man
it’s a good time to be throwing a plug
or throwing a spoon or throwing a
a matter obviously
but yeah check this
like a snoek here in Port Shepstone
and then don’t forget that Garrick yesterday
fish are around boy that’s for sure
and finally
we’re at the whale deck where the East is pumping
water’s nice and blue
and it’s looking good for tomorrow morning
offshore in the morning onshore in the afternoon
late afternoon
we’re gonna get a buster from the south west
so the pressure is dropping right now
and the fishing should be very good
that’s when the fishing’s supposed to be good
when the pressure changes
right so
you guys know about this MYDO story
and how you catch fish with MYDOs
they really work and they also really work
