Durban harbour cracker success

One boat reported five grunter caught with one being over 5kg and the other four being between 4 and 5kg.

All of these fish were landed on cracker shrimp in slightly deeper water off the sand banks. 

A few reports of grunter in the deeper water close to NSRI and N-Shed have also been received.

There have also been decent shoals of walla-walla around, which a few anglers have been targeting late afternoon and into the evenings.  Small Strike Pro Jerk Baits have also been a popular bait for these fish early in the evenings and can be fished even by youngsters. 

As far as gamefish go, things have been a bit quiet. The only species coming out on a regular basis are the pickhandle barracuda which have been taken on small Strike Pro Gobi Poppers and small spoons.

Kingfish have not been abundant and only a few have been reported.

Reminder - Quattro King of the Sea at Pumula on 23 and 24 May 2015.
