Earth-Touch cameraman Barry Skinstad presents a round-up of the Sardine Run 2011 on YouTube. He states that the sardines were not in evidence this year, with there only being small bait balls of red eye. Floods inland led to silt running four to five kilometers out to sea during the early part of the traditional sardine run season, and then up to six meter swells with the associated difficulties for boats coupled with associated degradation of the visibility plagued the end. Despite having been in Port St. Johns for a month and a half, he observes that he has not been in the water with a camera.
