Cave bass success at Toti

Toti - The protected bays produced a few shad over the last few days. Smaller fish around the rocks were also landed, mainly cave bass, snapper salmon and a few flatfish.

Scottburgh – Point has fished well for the anglers braving the big seas. Blue rays were plentiful on grinder set-ups which allowed anglers to cast into the strike zone. Anglers who targeted these fish on multipliers struggled to get the distance and if they did, the drag on the nylon from the heavy wash didn't allow the bait to stay put. Grey sharks were present as well and proved fun on the lighter grinder set-ups too. A few sandies were landed as well, mainly on bigger baits such as whole red-eye or shad cutlet baits.

Umkomaas - Yellowfin kingfish and the odd big grunter have been reported around Umkomaas. Bait and spoons have been doing the trick for the kingies and red-eye baits for the grunter. Blue rays have been caught on baits thrown for grunter.

Port Shepstone - Nice size bronze bream have been landed off the rocks, on bigger more juicy baits. Because the sea has been bigger making for more difficult bite detection, it is extremely important to use the sharpest hook possible. A Mustad Big Gun size 2 or Chinu size 1/0 is advisable. A few kob were landed in the areas which were not as rough and windy.

Transkei - Throughout this area, there have been a good few catches of garrick,  kob and hammerhead sharks. Some large grey sharks were also landed and in the gullies throughout the coast there were good catches of bronze bream.
