Picture of the day: Pods of red bait

“Picture of the day”

Due to the warm water temperatures along our coastline some areas along the Southern Cape coast recorded water temperatures of up to 27°C which is very unusual where normal summer water temperatures along the Southern Cape would reach between 20 – 22°C.

Walking along our beaches, you may have noticed pods of red bait littered along the beach.

This is because of unusually warm water temperatures which have caused these pods to break off the inshore reefs and wash ashore.
