Tide Chart:
Guys have started fishing with live bait for
the Garrick even though it’s still a bit early
but have been picked up mostly by Grey
Sharks and Kob later in the evening. Some
nice size Diamond/Butterfly Rays as well as
Honeycombs have been coming out in the
deeper calmer areas on big bloody baits
using very heavy equipment as a large
amount of guys have been losing their fish
due to being under gunned when targeting
these beasts. A minimum of an 8oz rod and
grinder with a minimum of 800m of 50lb
braid would be required as the Honeycomb
Rays are known for stripping over 600m of
braid on their first of many runs.

Umgababa to Umkomaas has had a lot
of activity the past week as plenty of
small Spinner and Grey Sharks have
been coming out on all baits mostly
intended for edible fish. Some bigger
Zambezi Sharks have been harassing
the guys trying to land their Kob at the
mouth but unfortunately they have
only been landing Kob bitten in half.
One or two of the locals have
attempted to land the Sharks in the
area but have been unsuccessful every
time as they don’t have the correct
equipment to handle these giants from
the deep.

Over to Port Shepstone and Margate, the
river is still flowing quite nicely and has
brought some colour to the water and with
no surprise the fishing has started picking
up. Some decent Kingies have been coming
by the guys targeting Snoek with their small
bullet spoons. Kob have been coming out
around the mouth on live bait and paddle
tails. Preferred colours for the paddle tails
have been white and chartreuse as those
colours stand out quite nicely in the dirtier
water. Some fins have been spotted in and
around the mouth which has attracted the
attention of the in edible anglers.
