Croc Couta by Marco van Wyk opens the season

This Croc Couta by Marco van Wyk opens the season for our favourite summer gamefish – the couta! This a real nice and early fish and bodes well for another bumper couta season. The smaller fish usually swim by this early, the bigger couta show up in April or so. And hang around right into August, before disppearing for a few months again.

The diving conditions this week have been below average with cold water and fish being sporadic. Some good fish did come out though. Saturday the east blows from early morning and the swell runs at two meters plus. Sunday we have more East with the swell dropping off later in the day. So it looks like it’s a family weekend. Well done to Bryce Buis on getting fish of the week a 37kg GT and Marco Van Wyk getting club merit fish a decent Croc couta! As always dive safe and straight spears.

Spearfishing KZN report by Jason Heynes

Spearfishing KZN report by Jason Heynes
Once again we have the reliable and waterproof Jason Heynes compiling and submitting a concise yet comprehensive Spearfishing KZN report. Jason dives the north and south coasts of KZN more than most and has created a network that gets all the weeks best photies to him, and then on to us, at thesardine.co.za. Check the gallery out below…
“The sea conditions have been outstanding this week. Sprats are loose with snoek shoaling and king mackerel heading south with a sprinkle of wahoo on the north coast. Viz up and down the coast is good with minimal swell. Bad news is a moderate north east is forecast for tomorrow(Saturday) coming through midmorning and blowing through the night with the swell picking up to 1.5m. So early bells Saturday morning it’s game on for a dive. Please don’t forget to purchase an East coast rock lobster permit before grabbing a few as the season is now open.  As always dive safe and straight spears. “
Thanks Jason for the report and for the timeous heads up on the crayfish season, that has just gotten underway for 2016.
Enjoy the gallery…
