I didn't get the chance to post an outlook for this weekend so I thought I'll share with you this photo I took on Wednesday morning.

Hiya Hermann, what do you think the fishing may be like in June? How is it usually at that time of year?Thinking about pulling through then for a week or so for some R&R, and will def be launching the boat.

Thanks guys and Oom, a day does not go by that I don't count my blessings for being able to live in and enjoy such a wonderful place.
Tyrrell, the fish are here the whole year but they will have slowed down a lot and you will have to work harder to get them. You might get the odd Kob or Leerie but they are very seldom caught in the winter months. Your best bet would be to pump blood worm and target Steenbras and Grunter. It will all depend on the weather and I will keep you updated on any fishing news.

Well guys, with regards to the lagoon and R&S side there is not really anything to report on at the moment. I have not heard of any good fish that came out and the water seems a bit dead. The water is calm with low waves, light winds and the water temperature is around 16-17 degrees Celsius. The water is clear and you will have to work hard to get your fish. I suggest using well presented baits and fishing in low light conditions like early morning or late afternoon with night time as first prize. Just be careful when fishing at night and try to fish in a group. Make use of the low spring tide to go and pump your favourite bait and fish on the mud flats at high tide in the afternoon for Grunter and Steenbras. If you want to do R&S and target eds I would suggest going for Elf/Shad or Belman as these fish don't really mind the clear water.
Go out there and enjoy yourself, whether you get a fish or not and be thankful for the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful country.

We had some serious rain the last 24 hours. It Started last night and by 8am this morning we received 88mm! Roads were flooded everywhere and my son had to come to work with me because his school was closed due to flooding. What also made it worse was that high tide was around 8am and the water could not flow away properly. Knysna has a serious problem with storm water management and sometimes our roads are flooded by seawater pushing up into the rain water drainage system. The following photos were taken at my wife's work and the last one is the road to my work. Hectic!

We're all gathering @ SaFish's house this weekend. We'll watch some rugby, have some & make a couple of casts from the balcony, maybe even sliding out something.
