Big grunter action in Durban harbour
We have been told of good grunter and stumpnose fishing in Durban harbour this past week.
Durban bay has fished extremely well over the last two weeks.
Last week saw some big fish landed - including some grunter of over 5kg. The amount of bait at the harbour mouth seems to be drawing fish into the bay, resulting in some awesome catches.
Charter boats have seen good catches of grunter and also some nice stumpies. Many top anglers have recommended Mustad Chinu size 4 or 6 for a general presentation with the use of cracker shrimp as bait. These hooks keep the cracker alive longer and are less detectable when the bait is taken.
For the anglers on the piers the rockcod and perch have been plentiful. Catches of kingfish have also increased - especially towards the Coaling Terminal and Grunter Gully side.
With the colder water moving through day by day, make sure to get in on the garrick action this year. Remember that the garrick do not stay in the bay for long - so keep reading the report for signs of activity.
