Durban harbour fishing very well

Durban bay seems to be getting into the swing of things recently, with anglers boasting some excellent catches from the banks and from their boats.

Anglers around the BAT Centre Pier have landed some good grunter on cracker during the evenings and a variety of other species such as rockcod and perch during the day. 

Kingfish have been more active and anglers are starting to catch one or two a session on small McArthy paddletails and top water Strike Pro Gobi Poppers. The yacht moll has been responsible for most of these catches. 

Boaters enjoyed a very productive week on the grunter front. Many of these fish have been caught in the deep towards the harbour mouth and a variety of baits have been working for them.

Make sure to always pump your own cracker to ensure the freshest bait possible is being used.

An old cracker will give off less vibrations in the water and as a result will catch smaller fish and less of them.

Light gauge Chinu or Carp bait holder hooks are very likely to improve your catch rate.
