Great excitement accompanied an unexpected sardine run in Illovo Beach on Sunday 21 June.
Ski boats were netting all the way from Hotel Rocks in Winkle to Illovo River mouth, with the locals enjoying a free-for-all in the surf. There were some good reports of garrick and snoek being caught by lucky anglers who happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Click here to see some of the fish that were caught this weekend.
