Durban harbour kingfish success
Anglers in Durban harbour have been kept busy by kingfish over the past week.
Catches of kingfish and pickhandle barracuda have been far more impressive over the last weekend, and with the tides looking good this week, anglers should take a look at getting their spinning kit together and stock up on a few lures.
The most productive lures have been the smaller Kingfisher Anchovy spoons, Strike Pro Gobi Poppers, Strike Pro Thai Sticks, Halco Rooster Poppers and on some days the smaller Jerk baits.
Most catches of the species in question occur in the mornings on popper or surface presentation, and later on in the afternoon and into the evening on spoons and dropshot, poppers and more productive than most, the McArthy Paddletails in white or amber.
A reminder that the hook-up rate and landing rate will increase substantially by replacing the treble hooks supplied on most lures with in-line single hooks.
Mustad has an incredible range of in-line hooks ranging in sizes to suit all lures. The Kaiju range is the most affordable in-line single hook available on the market, which does not compromise strength and sharpness.
