Hooked on fishing: Fishing frenzy hits coast
The coastline has delivered a surge of wild fishing action after the arrival of the sardines two weeks ago.
Anglers are busy, both in the day and at night, with reports of sharks to offshore giants including giant trevally (GT), salmon, garrick, cuta and shad on the bite from Umkomaas to Port Edward.
The Sardine Run has forced the KZN Sharks Board to remove the shark nets along the coast.
Well done to Musa Msani who caught a giant GT at Umzumbe flats last week. Musa used live shad bait and it took about 35 minutes to land his prize catch.
Camryn Naidoo of Umkomaas also landed a good size GT at 'The Block' in Port Shepstone on Monday this week. He used a Shimano Stradic 14000 with 40lb braid and 4/0 back-to-back land it hooks, and used an Assassin Bluefish rod.
Also, Camryn has his own YouTube channel – Unfiltered. Catch up on his and his team's adventures and learn all the tips and techniques.
It's exciting times, but remember safety first. Swimming remains banned from Port Edward to Isipingo until further notice.
