THE WIND IS UPON US.

It's that time of year when the east blows tirelessly, we've been launching at Sodwana, and with the wind cutting across a 3m swell this week, it hasn't been an easy excercise. That's not to say that the sea is dead at this time of year. The tuna have been about, the Ragged Tooths are moving north, and the Garrick are moving inshore.

Its just a question of being able to get out there...

Hmmm.


I found these long silver fish with sort of yellow mouths swimming around the Nebo. There were so many of them that I couldn't concentrate on what I was trying to do. Had to chase them off with the camera housing...

THE SHARKS MOVE IN.


After such a good sardine run, the spin offs are substantial. One of these is the huge population of Ragged Tooth sharks that have been "sucked up" to KZN by the run, and have colonised Aliwal and Protea to begin their breeding cycle.

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END.


It looks like the 2008 Sardine run is finally winding down. There is still sporadic action down south, but this is mostly lagging Red-eye. What a run its been. The south coast reefs are now full of sharks, waiting to kick off their breeding cycle, all fat & happy!
What are we going to… Continue

THEY'RE BACK!


Sardines resurfaced with a vengence after the bad weather and heavy rain. The sea cleaned up miraculously, and we even had a days netting around Umkomaas on monday.

The action off Mboyti and Waterfall Bluff was reported to be going ballistic, and as the water cleans up there too, the shoa… Continue

Ya, we're back in Durban at the moment. Waiting for this weather to pass. Its a bit quite down south, but this weather may shake things up a bit. We'll be launching out of Umkomaas and such like for the following days, unless something comes up.

Hi Graeme, would like to get down there. Where are you guys now? How's the action? I guess the big swell over the next few days will put paid to any action.
Looking forward to meeting you.

Well, we are all kind of "the site", so where we go, it goes. We're trying to get this multi-active, user driven group running that will morph itself into something quite widespread. Ning is a very powerful tool that puts a lot of power in the hands of a group of normal people. Just needs a little bit of work at first...
