BIG Fish vs BIG Shorebreak vs BIG Alan at The Sandspit in Port Shepstone

BIG Fish vs BIG Shorebreak vs BIG Alan at The Sandspit in Port Shepstone: The Sandspit on the north side of the Umzimkulu Mouth is infamous for many things. And one of them is the absolutely monstrous shorebreak that performs there. Getting a garrick or kob or any other big fish through the dumping waves and up the steep beach is a serious challenge.

In this lekker clip we have Umzimkulu Adrenalin’s Pro Fishing Guide Alan showing us exactly how it’s done. Ace out! And what a fish! An absolute trophy but I ain’t gonna let on – watch the video to see what it was!

And then pop on over to Umzimkulu Adrenalin‘s website where you can learn about the recent fishing and catches. Ang in touch to make a booking. Come stay over. Or do a day trip. It is barely more than an hour from Durban. But the place fishes and looks just like the Wild Coast.

Sardines n Sighting Maps

It has been a fantastic sardine run this memorable 2024. And all the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. This year’s map has been viewed 188,000 times and keeps growing.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. This year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! And a freaking tornado! And recently a capsized KZNSB boat!

These events will from now on be included in the Sardine News Sightings Map for 2024. And on the 1 January 2025, we shall start all over again.

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps. Great for a windy day like today to research. With instructions to install The Sardine News right on your phone or desktop.
