Hooked on fishing: Fishermen clean up flood debris
After cleaning up it was time for fishing.
While most South Coast beaches were flooded with debris after the heavy rain, there were some kind-hearted fishermen who lent a helping hand and cleaned up some fishing spots on the coast.
Those that went out and cleaned-up the debris, you guys made a huge difference. Thank you!! Let’s see more of this take place along the entire coastline. It is quite common now that you’ll find evidence of humanity washing up just about everywhere. Taking the time to clean up beach litter has numerous benefits, and most importantly saving animals.

On the fishing side, the guys had some luck in Port Edward at Splash Rock, Marina Beach and Port Shepstone. Ezrian Haripersad caught a copper bream at Port Shepstone, near Tidal pool on Sunday using crayfish and sardine gear. Steven Moodley also caught a copper bream on Sunday.
On the game fish, Kobus Jansen Van Vuuren had a good day on Sunday when he caught a 15.2kg king fish at Splash Rocks in Port Edward. Well done Kobus. Another king fish was caught at Marina Beach.
Keen fisherman, Akshay Maharaj (22) who is fighting a rare disease of blood cancer recently hooked a grey shark at Ifafa with his dad Dinesh Maharaj while catching up on some father and son bonding time.
Akshay says his health has been improving after receiving the first three vials of nivolumab at Albert Luthuli Hospital.
Akshay extends his gratitude to the Hardthrow fishing team for their love and support towards his treatment and for assistance at certain fishing spots.
