Name: Dean Stoltz Email: target@intekom.co.za Phone: 043 726 4496 The fishing for saltwater species in the nearby estuaries has been very quiet which is not unusual for this time of year. Moreover, we had a bit of rain recently, so the water is a bit off colour. Fortunately, there have been quite a number of shad around so if one concentrates one effort near the mouth of these rivers one could have some luck. The estuary at Bonza Bay has been reported to be quite productive. Otherwise, there are always good numbers of juvenile garrick in the estuaries which provide good sport on lightweight tackle. Most flyfishers are now concentrating their efforts on the trout dams further inland which are in excellent condition after the above average rainfall in the Eastern Cape.
