KZN Sardine Watch

Got this pic via whatsapp. Apparently netting in Margate. ...
Another hoax

They not here yet....real info states they been seen off Coffee Bay, that seems to be legit info but not Margate.

No positive confirmation yet, but I hear that netters are at Rocky Bay. One source says that it is Red Eye Sardines. We will keep you informed as information comes in.

Guys, before everyone starts to get Sardine Crazy, we have just received news from a reliable source that there is a lot of Baitfish (Red Eye and Mackerel) around, within these bait shoals they have caught a few Natal Sardines.

Sardines are HERE!!!! Just got confirmation a net was landed at Scottsburgh by Eastern Cape Netter Kevin. 60 Baskets taken in total. And there are shoals in the backline. See pics.

Another pic of the sardines in the backline.

Finally. Hopefully its not a pilot shoal and the nets are removed.
With the expected wind we should get some action.

Hi, Where is Happy Wanderers?

Another net has just been pulled out at Scottsburgh. It seems to be the place to be.

Thanks for the update, I believe they are selling at R800/case and R50/dozen.

As i stated before, they will come monday to friday and office hours only! bugger :(

People are selling at Overport. Question is are they the same sards?

check out the eyes of the sards Fish a Man Fish, that would be a dead giveaway. Any indentation of the eyes, they old, if they still bright (not blinking) they are fresh.

Sitting here in Josie, wishing I was there.

R50 a dozen outside r k Khan's hospital

3 boats launched at winkles this morning.

Heard that Sardines are being netted at Isipingo, anyone can confirm!

Yes Raj, they are netting there
