Brusher on the KZN south coast
Anglers on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast have caught brusher over the past week.
Summer fish have definitely made their way down the KZN south coast, resulting on a fair amount of larger flatfish such as honeycombs, diamond rays and sandsharks being caught at areas such as Toti and Winkelspruit. Smaller slide baits have worked extremely well for these fish. Mackerel head is the best option so far, going by reports from many anglers.
Along the coast down to the Transkei there have been excellent catches of both bronze bream and brusher, which have also been feeding all day and even into the dark in some cases. Anglers have been using red prawn as a crayfish substitute while the season is still closed, and are having good success with this bait.
Cape yellowtail have made up a large portion of the catches from the lower KZN south coast, which is an excellent sign of the movement of fish from colder waters.
