Ballito kingfish and snoek action

Kosi Bay reports this past week consisted of news from the lakes, which included catches of good sized grunter, some decent rock salmon and a few smaller species on prawn baits.

Cape Vidal has been more productive and has seen good catches of rockcod, cave bass and pompano. Wave garrick have made a decent appearance over the last week. There were also stumpnose and smaller grunter around. On the spinning side, Cape Vidal and St Lucia has been a Natal snoek hot-spot and has produced good numbers of decent sized snoek on most days. These fish have been landed on spoons as well as plugs.

Richards Bay has been quiet apart from a few good reports from the south side, which include some decent sharks and a lot of kob and snapper salmon.  

Tugela is still being good to anglers. However, the popular spots have been relatively crowded and casting can become tricky at times. Anglers moving away into the quieter spots have still managed to land good fish.

Ballito area has produced decent snoek on spoon and a few kingfish between the action. Most of these fish have been landed off deep water points such as Dave’s Rock. In the same areas, anglers fishing at night have landed good grey sharks and hammerhead sharks.  A few stumpnose of decent size have also been on the bite. Most areas between Ballito and Blue Lagoon have been relatively quiet apart from Tongaat river mouth which has yet again produced decent catches of garrick, shad and kob.
