No sardine report 25 July 2016

No sardine report 25 July 2016

Jay Steenkamp patrolling down south to Port Edward and beyond reports that the surfing has been fantastico and they have all been getting shacked. Roosta in Umzumbe reports the same clean powerful swells gracing their underground. But no mention of sardines. Scattered baitballs of other types of smallies up and down, but no sardines.

He also reports that the hard rains that have been falling, have flushed out all the smaller rivers and that the ocean is now a mess. The featured image was shot by Jay at St. Michaels a few minutes ago.

Check out Jason Heyne’s comprehensive weekly spearfishing reports to really learn what is going on under the water off our coastline. He reports in every Friday and we usually have it on thesardine.co.za by Saturday morning, depending on the Friday night :-).

Debbie Smith reports in from out on the edge off Port St. Johns, that their sardine run is still running and that they were encountering baitballs and predators on almost every launch. But the weather has brought the team at Offshore Africa a well deserved chance to regroup and recover from their high adrenalin activities.
More about Offshore Africa, and Diving With Sharks.

And below is Debbie Smith’s Instagram feed portraying the lekker life they are all living right now in and around Port St. Johns as the sardine shoals get them and their guests right into the thick of it.

Pop goes the Tuna: Ascension Island Popper Madness

A peek into the amazing life of Captain Duarte Rato as he and his guests torture the yellowfin tuna right off Ascension Island. As you can see clearly in the video, this action is really shallow – you can see the bottom right where the poppers are being hammered to pieces by the nonstop yellowfin.

Captain Duarte Rato can be found all over the globe – wherever the BIG fish are, depending on the seasons. He can be contacted via his website http://fishbazaruto.com, where you can also check out the FishBazaruto playlist – featuring a selection of video starring Duarte or his mates.
