Fishing Report - Winkelspruit geelbek
We have been told of good geelbek and daga salmon action off Winkelspruit over the past week.
Cape Vidal has produced reports of good queenfish action at the lighthouse, mainly on live baits. A few have also been landed on lures. These fish are averaging between 5-7kg. Couta are still around, being caught more on Rattlers and Halco lures than baits strangely enough. Natal snoek are still on the bite and most presentations have been successful. Most fish have ranged between 2-4kg.
Zinkwazi has been pumping over the last week, with reports of dorado in the deep, many tuna and even a few wahoo have been landed. The inter-club competition saw some very good sized couta come out, many of which were over 20kg.
Tinley Manor has produced plenty of snoek recently, none of which have been small. Most fish have been over 4kg and caught mainly on Maria 18g spoons in natural colours. Blue and pink seem to be working well too.
Durban has held its own recently and is fishing as well as anywhere on our coastline. Big tuna are still being landed on the wrecks and bait marks. Couta have slowed down substantially, but are still present. Snoek have been landed one or two at a time, but have been consistent. Hyper-by-the-Sea stretch has been productive. Bottoms off Durban has been good, with many different species being brought to the scales.
Winkelspruit has produced plenty of geelbek and daga recently in depths of 50-70m, but the sharks have been a bit of an issue so once the fish is hooked, try get it to the boat as fast as possible.
Hibberdene has produced reports of bigger couta on live baits. Mainly live bonito. Geelbek and daga seem to be in full force as well.
