Durban harbour walla walla action
With the public slipway being utilised heavily by the anglers in the Durban Ski Boat Festival over the weekend, reports have been far less promising than in the previous weeks.
During the week, however, many anglers were successful and have had a great time with grunter all over the harbour.
Charter boats had plenty of happy clients who not only caught grunter, but many other species including some excellent rockcod and stumpnose too.
Anglers also started to see much more walla walla at night and managed to catch a few for the Durban Ski Boat Festival.
These can be caught at night by shining a lamp into the water and fishing in the vicinity of the light with a sardine strip bait.
These fish have soft mouths and should be retrieved gently.
Treble hooks work well, especially with the addition of a glow stick which is mounted just above the hook.
This is a fun style of fishing for the kids and the walla walla make excellent bait for couta too.
Next month will see Pumula on the KZN south coast hosting the annual Quattro King of the Sea fishing contest.
