Report
Starting off in Cape Vidal there has
been an array of game fish species and a few
reef fish as well, mostly Pompano, Stumpy
and Bonefish. There have been plenty of
Kingfish coming out on spoon but all other
fish taking the preferred Chokka or small
Squid bait.

Rock and Surf, Harbour and Ski Boat
angling have been very productive over
the past week and it seems to be the
anglers fishing in the rougher conditions
that are succeeding in all facets of the
sport. Weather that was as upside down
as it was over the past week can really
separate the men from the boys.
Fortunately the weather on Saturday
turned for the better with brightsunshine and flat seas allowing the guys
fishing the Jet Ski Competition to catch
some incredible fish, and have a
fantastic time with the rain holding off
until Sunday.
Richards Bay South is having a slight
problem with Shad at the moment with
these fish eating the bait before it even
settles for the bigger flatfish to find it.
Anglers
advising
guys,
who
are
inexperienced in fishing this area to look for
the banks, prepare a good sized fleshy bait
and cast to the center of the bank, this will
yield good results as there are big Diamond
Rays that hang about in this area. The choice
bait to use in this area would be the Bonito,
rigged onto a Dingle Dangle with a Mustad
Tuna Circle circle hook.
Ballito is still producing good catches of Grey
Sharks, hopefully giving the early holiday
makers some fun. The water is still quite
clean even with the rain so there is still a
possibility of catching Bronze Bream around
the area. There are plenty of Shad around
the Durban area which are harassing anglers
trying to fish for other edibles, there are a
Rock n Surf
This past week there have been plenty of
different species landed all along our coast,
guys have been having most luck with edibles
but there have been some noteworthy catches
in the non edibles as well.
Angling Times Weekly SA
Richards Bay North has produced a
good number of flatfish such as Brown
Rays, Honeycomb and Diamond Rays
over the past week on fleshy baits such
as Bonitos rigged with a Dingle Dangle
onto a circle hook, these fish have not
been huge but they have been a form
of entertainment for the greener
non-edible anglers. Unfortunately the
weather has not been right to bring
the bigger fish in close enough to feed
with some anglers saying a North East
wind blowing for 2-3 days will bring
the bigger fish.
