Weekly Spearfishing Report by Jason Heyne

Weekly Spearfishing Report by Jason Heyne

A jam packed gallery features in this weeks weekly spearfishing report by Jason Heyne…

The diving conditions have been below average this week with green water inshore and some swell around. Some fish did come out wahoo couta and the usual snoek and garrick. The sardine action has lulled a bit this week with the shoals being out deeper. Saturday morning the winter offshore blows switching late morning to a light south west with the swell running at 1.6m. Sunday the winter offshore blows early swinging around to a moderate north East later in the day with minimal swell. I’d hazard a guess at Sunday morning being good. Fish of the week goes to Pete for cracking the 30 kg mark on a couta! As always dive safe and straight spears.

Wahoo vs Spearos this autumn – by Jason Heyne

Wahoo included in this weeks KZN spearing news by MasterWaterman Jason Heyne

Wahoo vs Spearos this autumn

Spearing report by Jason Heyne

Wahoo are around in fair number as is reported by spearos up and own the KZN coast. The blue water has been coming right close in often, last weekend the water was a toasty 25.19 degrees. Just the way the Wahoo and Billfish like it. Yep, with the Wahoo come the Sailfish, and the Striped Marlin. The stripeys around here this time of year come in shoals.! And we can expect the second showing of dorado anytime soon. Especially with the recent downpurs and resulting brown water line.

Over to Jason…

Diving conditions have been average this week with one or two day’s being excellent. Autumn fish are here with shoals of 10kg spannish mackerel around and wahoo putting in an appearance . Saturday a light southwest blows early switching to a light to moderate northeast later in the day with a negligible swell of 1.3m running. Sunday a light to moderate offshore blows in the morning switching to a moderate onshore in the afternoon with the swell running at 1.6m. So Saturday gets100 percent green light for a dive with game fish switching on as the onshore starts to blow. Fish of the week goes to Luke with a slab of a wahoo and club merit fish goes to Garrett with a bus Queen Fish. As always dive safe and straight spears.

Thank you Jason!

Summer spearing hotting up. By Jason Heyne

Summer spearing hotting up. By Jason Heyne
The diving conditions this week have been average with one or two really good days. Really big natal snoek and average size couta have been coming out. Saturday morning the beast north east continues to blow with a fair size east swell at 2.5m. Sunday a moderate southwest wind blows from the morning on with the swell running at 2m. So it looks like Sunday morning may have a gap to dive if you can find viz. Fish of the week goes to Royd Williams with a 30kg plus GT on a shoredive and club merit fish goes to Marco with a beautiful purple rockcod. As always dive safe and straight spears.

2018 Couta season starting early underwater

Couta season seems to be well underway, according to the spearos. They have been shooting quite a few for this early in the game. Any fish before December is noteworthy. So maybe this augers well for another good season of couta fishing.

Jason Heyne checks in with his ever-reliable weekly spearfishing report…

“The diving conditions this week have been well below average with a couple of storms and heavy rain mucking up the ocean. Some Cape tail and the odd couta are making an appearance. Saturday a moderate south West blows dropping off later in the day with the swell running at 1.5m . Sunday light variable wind all day and negligible swell. So it looks like Sunday is go day if you can find some viz between the river water. No fish of the week is an indicator of how bad the conditions have been. We have our club AGM on December the 1st so please pay club fees before then so you can join in the fun. As always dive safe and straight spears.”
