Beachwood big shad action

Beachwood big shad action

We have heard of some big shad in the Beachwood area this past week. The shad season will re-open on 1 December.

Beachwood was a spinning hot-spot and had plenty anglers fishing throughout the week.


Many of the anglers fishing in the windy conditions managed to get a few shad under their belt, many of which weighed in at around 2kg. This will definitely be an area to watch out for in the weeks to come.


Durban had a good run of flatfish and smaller edibles ranging from grunter to stumpies, blacktail to pompano and everything in between. After some good weather in the week to come, the fishing should be excellent.


There have been many honeycomb rays in the general Durban area, spotted around the shallower waters by surfers and bathers. These fish are after smaller baits. This is what they are used to feeding on next to the piers and close to any area which has a lot of bait waste.


With the water temperature sitting at around 23.8 degrees, these summer fish will become more active and feed more often, particularly at night.
