Catface Rockcod

Thanks for sharing. I must say that the recent weather conditions being high waves and stronger than usual currents may have changed the inner ocean revealing more reefs or even covering them causing these species to migrate to other reefs.

Here is a picture of Winkles. Those that fish there will recognise the small pier that is sanded, generally a small sheltered bay that is not there now.

Good morning.
It's quite strange to be catching Rockod on the sand banks. I personally caught a few in the Durban harbour on centre bank in about waist deep water.

Dis 'n lekker vismeneer

Hi Nic, I have seen this phenomenon before, about 10 years ago, fishing Drift sands, up to Dead mans point on the North side of the river mouth. Among the many rock cod were sea barbel as well. This also was at the end of the winter months.

Jeeva you right we were catching Barbels as well. this started in April and went on till July. Barbels like colder water but the water temp was 22.
