Darrell Hattingh Garrick on KZN South Coast

Paradise conditions being experienced down on the KZN South Coast. Its that beautiful time of our year again. The wind calms down. The sun comes up earlier. The water stays clean.

And the Garrick are here!

As noted by Darrell Hattingh who never misses out. Living smack bang in the middle of the action on the KZN south coast, Darrell has been biding his time this year, waiting for that bus Garrick to swim around the corner.

KZN South Coast: Darrell Hattingh gets his handful of garrick each year. Spends many hours in the water on the hunt for them, you got put in the hard yards to get a fish like this bomber.

And here it is! Not sure of the exact weight but it sure looks 20 to me. The season has been characteristic of bigger Garrick. Some absolute beauts have been coming out on rod and reel too.

 

Its almost National Garrick Day, but we got to take care of the Garrick at this their most vulnerable time. Just don’t allow anyone around you to take the piss and take too many. Even though the bag limit allows two Garrick, one is more than enough.

There are now more photos doing the round’s on Facebook, of the senseless slaughter that goes on in the Transkei. This time two idiots were photographed posing with a whole shoal of baby Garrick.

Once again, get in touch with Daff, and report any of this activity.

A brace of Wahoo: by Darrell Hattingh

A brace of Wahoo: by Darrell Hattingh

Oceanic Marine artist Darrell Hattingh has been producing amazing fish art and sculptures for over 30 years.  Darrell excels in underwater scenes drawn or sculpted as he has seen them in his thousands of hours spent underwater – spearfishing. This experience enables Darrell to perfectly emulate the subjects in their natural behaviour of hunting and preying.

Here Darrell has produced a brace of serious looking wahoo as they hunt for prey somewhere off our coastline.
