Durban harbour snoek and kingfish
We have heard of kingfish and Natal snoek action in Durban harbour over the past week.
There have been far less anglers in the harbour over the last week, largely due to the water colour being off and the persistent winds.
However, there have been excellent reports of grunter off the banks, which are feeding well on sardine or cracker.
A variety of fish have been landed off the piers, including some good Malabar rockcod, pickhandle barracuda and also some nice kingfish.
Reports of larger fish have been received from anglers using big baits at the harbour mouth. These fish have not been landed and have taken anglers into the rocks. These are believed to be big rockcod and need to be dealt with using heavy tackle.
There has been a large presence of smaller Natal snoek and kingfish around the South Pier and around the mouth, which have been feeding on smaller baitfish and also bay squid. A drift bay squid should prove deadly in these areas being pulled slowly behind the boat or cast close to a wharf.
