Name: Capt. Louis Day Email: louis@hermanus.co.za Phone: 082 555 8317 Breede. There is still plenty of freshwater in the system but with the full moon this weekend there will be major tidal flows. The odd kob and grunter are coming out and there are always young leervis around but of course October is the prime kob month. Regarding leervis apart from the juveniles which tend to remain in the estuaries up to about 70 cm or roughly 7 years of age, the large migrants come down the coast from KZN and EC in November/December and enter the river mouths. De Mond. A few steenbras and grunter have been taken. Hermanus lagoon. The mouth is still open but is shallow and could close soon if we do not have more rain. The odd kob and elf have come out but I have seen very few anglers on the water. This is possibly because we usually have high winds during the August to October period. Bot River. The mouth is still open on the Kleinmond side but is shallow and could close soon. Offshore. Yellowtail have been taken off Struisbaai and Cape Point and snoek on the West Coast off Dassen Island.
