This is my worry!!!!

Wanted to go North Coast, would love to have joined the Mapelane party!!!

However, my parents recently acquired a place in Margate and this is the first time we can use it.

At least the accomodation if free, leaving more money for bait and driving up and down the coast!!

Will try all the way down to Port Edward and to Umkomaas if needed.

Thanks Guys,

@Action Man, let's hope the weather plays along.

Some NE's to get the water a bit coloured before I arrive will be lovely.....

We might be able to hook up somewhere along the coast for a session.

Will be there from the evening of the 7th (Monday) until the Saturday (12th)

Hi Strandloper,

I dived the Scottburgh area yesterday and saw plenty rays (Spotted Eagle,Brown,Devil,Ribbon Tail) around. Also saw 2 big shoals (Approx 300-550 fish) of Sea Pike and duffed 2 small cuda. The fish are around you just need to fish the right areas.

Good luck.
