Title: What happened to all the fish on the south coast?
Post by: ONDE ONDA on September 28, 2010, 05:32:20 PM: I was fishing Shelly Beach over the weekend and yet a trip out no good. The Tuna Disappeared, of Protea, no Geelbek as what it used to be, no Natal Snoek at all this year in this area, my live-bait places empty. From the rock and surf the Shad is under size, few Garrick and Cob. Never seen it like this has anybody a clue what’s happening?
Sardiens still in DURBAN in September?
Snoek in Vidal in September?
Big shad gone this year?

lol Shad is closed right.

Johan I think there is definitely something going on with the seasons...they are all out of whack.

Anyway maybe the tunnies decided they had enough of the 2 million sharks on Protea.
You should try hunting some of the other reefs in the area and leave Protea and it's sharks alone :-)

Post by: tkei on September 29, 2010, 03:44:28 PM: Having seen how the shelly beach/ port shepstone fishermen (not anglers) behave in the transkei, I am not surprised that there are no fish left on the south coast.
