Sardines make a second appearance

After yesterday’s excitement following the appearance of sardines at Port Edward, the little silver fish popped up again today (Thursday), this time at Uvongo Pier and Sandspit.

Crowds took to the beach as early as 06:30 this morning, to get their hands on the sardines.

There was a lively and joyous atmosphere, showing the obvious interest that these shoals bring with them.

According to fishermen on the beach, six nets were sent out at Uvongo and two were sent out at Sandspit. It was an action filled morning, with a crowded street and crates filled to the brim.

Currently, sardines are still being netted at Uvongo Beach.
