Port Shepstone shad success

Toti has been very quiet, with only small shad, stumpnose and the odd garrick being seen occasionally. Live shad has been the best bait for these garrick so far.

Umkomaas had shad feeding all day throughout the week although most have been undersize. Grunter have been caught on the low tide near the mouth on cracker and smaller chokka baits.

Scottburgh Point had only a few grey sharks at night on mackerel head.

Nyoni Rocks/Shad Place had a bit of a decent run for some anglers, with one angler managing three lovely fish in one session. The fish included a brown skate of 77cm, a sand shark of 179cm and a decent honeycomb of 131cm. Three awesome fish, especially for one angler in one session.

Port Shepstone had an average week with a few kob and garrick coming out, with plenty of shad 24/7.

Terry Nel from Tacklenet in Port Edward sent in this report - “There has been much shad activity along the shoreline here more of the fish now making size. Other news of bigger fish about are the odd garrick and hammerhead sharks. Bronze bream are also on the bite with a number of good sizes coming out. No news of any sardines yet as June approaches although there have been some very late runs in the past." If you are in the area and want to find out what is happening with the fishing, pop in and have a chat to Terry, he will point you in the right direction.

Port St John's north had a decent week with a few good sized brusher being taken, along with kob, garrick and bronze bream on a regular basis. 

Port St John's south saw some very large sharks during the week, of which very few were landed due to the sheer size and strength of these fish. Mazeppa Bay is fishing very well and can be expected to fish well in the week to come, producing plenty of kob, sharks, garrick, yellowtail albacore and other edibles such as brusher and bronze bream.
