Good day East Coasters , well we on a bright moon spring and big seas at over 6 foot are predicted for the next three days....[/size]A stiff west is expected in the early hours of tomorrow morning and as I write this it is already puffing west...This is a good sign as it will clean up the water and raise the temp a notch or two. As you can see on the synoptic that front is well on its way to us,,,,[/color]
[/size]Tomorrow there is a low tide at 09h00 and on Sunday at 09h40...[/color]
Please note there is a predicted tide variance of over 2m...
IF,,,the swell is not too up , there are stacks of spots along the Jikeleza that work and fish well on a early am outgoing tide , BUT, if the sea is on its head , then two spots come to mind ,,,GlenGariff on the inside and Queensberry bay on the inside..
Should the sea be fair and I say that Sunday AM is going to be the window of opportunity should that west howl tomorrow AM....Yellow sands has a lovely hole in front of the caravan park....
Cintsa , west of the tidal pool has been throwing some shad this past week and Gonubie point has seen numerous shad coming out....
Please dont forget you size and bag limits Folks....30cm and 4 per angler...
The barometer has bottomed out BUT is still falling and will start to rise late on Saturday evening and the wind will turn southly in the Sunday late morning...
Sea temp at the moment is at 16 and hope to get to 18 by the weekend..
There is a fair ground swell running so please be carefull for those sidewashes when fishing off the rocks...
Well Folks thats all for now and remember , pick up the litter
TIGHT LINES and JUST GO FISH!!!

..Mornings Folks , well , the Jikeleza locals were busy bees this weekend and some fish came out and this was mainly in the rivers as the sea was up with a full bright moon spring and heavy west winds......

..Good day Folks , ..the weekend of the 5/6 March 2016 , a few of us East Coasters will be doing this trippie...Its a pristine part of the Jikeleza and back in the day , was PRIME play ground for those stalwarts who were brave enough to take their trusty buggies and converted VeeDubs along this 7km stretch of coast...large sections of porridge shingle and I remember as a 15 year old spending more time pushing the buggy than actually riding in it

..BUT...many a weekend we used to overnight at Rooiwalle and then make the return trip on the Sunday....We doing just this BUT this time the mode of transport is shanks pony...Its a fair walk BUT most enjoyable , hopefully I will have a decent report back with some fishy pics!!

Well Kent, my wife does run the property that is pretty much adjacent to rooivalle, soooooo if you are wanting to have a much shorter route, let me know! I might have something on that weekend but if not, would love to tag along for a few hours! If not, I am still happy to get you guys closer access!
