Big honeycombs at Kosi Bay
Kosi Bay has been providing anglers with big honeycomb ray action this past week.
Kosi Bay has had some good fishing over the last week, especially for those who have targeted inedibles. Big honeycomb rays have been landed on fleshy baits, preferably fresh fish baits. More big brown rays and the odd sandshark have been seen landed on the same kind of fleshy baits used as with the honeycombs. Lots of white rolling water due to the winds meant that much heavier sinkers had to be used.
Sodwana has had anglers busy with smaller edible fish such as speckled snapper, bonefish and spadefish. These fish have moved in with the prolonged northeast winds. Fishing has been difficult and uncomfortable, but the rewards are definitely something to write home about.
Richards Bay anglers are beginning to find the spinner sharks a nuisance - they have been taking anything on a hook. Zambezi sharks have been landed on swim baits and bigger slide baits which have taken perseverance to fish.
Ballito anglers hooked into browns, grey sharks and a few smaller diamonds. There have been a handful of eagle rays as well. Small shad have been frequenting the area and make an excellent bait for most inedibles. Spinning enthusiasts are having some fun with these smaller shad in the mornings and have had more success with the Kingfisher Toby spoons in the 40g version, as the sea was up anglers needed a decent cast.
Anglers at La Mercy are still getting a few non-edible fish such as browns and sandies in the evenings, but the strong northeast winds have also made fishing difficult for most anglers. The water has been dirty and rough, but will end up fairly decent by the end of the week, with Saturday looking like a cracker of a day for inedibles with the northeast winds coming up nicely.
