Shortest day, longest night ushers in icy July for eMalahleni
Today is the shortest day and the longest night. So, cuddle in early, put on your favourite movie, and enjoy the 'long' evening. On Saturday night at approximately 22:42, the sun appears at its most northerly position in the sky relative to the Southern Hemisphere – and the hemisphere tilts farthest away from it on its axis. This is called Winter Solstice and comes from the Latin word solstitium, meaning 'sun stands still'. This refers to the notion that the sun's movement is halted before it reverses direction. This is the 'official' start of the astronomical winter and brings with it the coldest months of the year, and July is very cold in the Highveld. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is vice versa, as people experience the longest day and shortest night.

#FishEagle: Sardine netters score big at Amanzimtoti, Scottburgh and Umkomaas
Sizeable shoals of sardines continued to be hauled in along the South Coast last week, reaching Durban's Bluff by the weekend. After a slow start due to a midweek cold front, netters enjoyed improved conditions over the weekend, with major catches reported at Scottburgh, Umkomaas and Amanzimtoti. Sharks and dolphins were particularly active among the shoals off Amanzimtoti. Surf anglers focused their efforts near the sardine activity and reported excellent catches. While there were some tough battles with large ragged-tooth sharks (raggies), anglers enjoyed good early morning hauls of shad and prodigal son, with a few G.T. kingfish offering thrilling sport. Garrick have also begun arriving at traditional South Coast spots and another strong run is anticipated this year. Cooler water and calmer seas have boosted activity in rocky gullies, with increasing catches of copper bream, lantern bream and stone bream, along with blacktail and karranteen. The arrival of cold water may also signal the return of the hard-fighting brusher, a target species for many winter anglers. In local waters, a few shad have been caught, though the bulk remain on the South Coast. Shoals of large mullet have kept surf anglers engaged, while salmon and stumpnose are starting to show in selected areas. Offshore, the bottom reefs have produced excellent returns with a wide range of species landed. Big rockcod remain abundant, alongside good numbers of soldiers, slinger and half-kob, with signs of an uptick in daga salmon. Though most anglers are targeting the bottom, the occasional big couta and snoek are still being landed. Pockets of sardines are beginning to move into deeper waters and are expected to remain in the area for a while yet.
