Baitball action Hamburg this morning. Poor visibility. First confirmed sardines for over a week. Scattered activity has not been sards

[Hills Have Eyes @HillsHaveEyesSA]

@EHimself largely as water temps down over last decade so should be more favourable. Other variables also but an obvious controlable.

[Hills Have Eyes @HillsHaveEyesSA]

No good news ECape to KZN for sardine sightings. Hopefully the current front and swell will chase something up for the predators to target

MT @EuanRitchie1: If science is to be taken seriously and understood we must make better efforts to communicate effectively.
