Conditions have been average to above average on the north coast and below average on the south coast this week. Big garrick are patrolling the north coast with some really big shoals on the return run. Brusher season is in full swing with decent fish being shot. Snoek are around north but few and far between shoals. Sardines came out Pennington area Thursday and some big cuda have been spotted out deep. Forecast for Saturday is not looking good with the north easterly blowing from early switching to a south west later Saturday evening. Conditions where pearler today (Friday) on the north coast with 3 ft swell and an average of 10m viz but not much action gamefish wise. Saturday early north looks like the best idea for tomorrow. As always dive safe and straight spears.
