What a Day to be Out There KZN Cooking Conditions by Adam Kamdar. Plus Catch Reports Plus Catch Report!!: Yep, another beautiful KZN day unfolds. Light winds. 23 Degrees water. The beginning of a good spring tide. Conditions are great for fishing. And the fish are around.
Over to Adam with today’s ocean conditions report PLUS the recent catch report…
Summer has started without even giving spring notice. It is a bit chilly today, but warming fast here on KZN South Coast. And well, the catches…and this catch by Kyle and mate recently, tells a very cool story!
Wahoo, tuna and dorado!
Some rivers, including the Umzimkulu, have blasted out plumes of brown water. Almost orange really.
But!
Some fish love the brown. Check out the inshore catch report collection…
The halocline, where the brown meets the blue, is where the Dorado roam. Aswell as billfish, and the toothy critters like wahoo and couta. And tuna!
This incredible phenomenon occurs right on our doorstep. The halocline normally lives upstream in the river. Where it moves in and out with the tides (tide pulse). This is what we chase in the river all day long. It is blue down under the brown since salt water is more dense than fresh.
Then it starts to rain about this time of the year, and the halocline is expelled out to sea (flood pulse). It is this movement of the halocline that triggers off so many important biological instances. And has been happening forever.
A trick is to find a spot that is brown – but that has clean water underneath it. This is where to chuck a bait.
