Name: Dean Stoltz Email: target@intekom.co.za Phone: 043 726 4496 We have had some heavy rain in the Border area and most of the estuaries are chocolate and may take 3 to 4 weeks to clear. Also, quite a bit of hyacinth and other alien weed has washed down into some of the estuaries. Recently the Nahoon estuary featured on Carte Blanche because of the continuous pollution and the municipality’s inability to rectify the situation. Despite this the fish still survive in this waterway. By September these estuaries will start to warm up and if we have no further heavy rain, they will become more productive, and grunter will start feeding in the shallower water.
