Good garrick fishing at Illovo

Toti has seen its ups and downs over the last week and has gradually started to improve. Anglers have caught a few garrick and kob in certain areas, and with the drop in water temperature, we will be expecting more action soon.

Winkelspruit has had a few garrick come out on live baits, but very few on artificials.

The Illovo stretch has seen good numbers of garrick and a few kingfish on certain days.

Umkomaas river mouth had some good catches earlier on in the week for anglers spinning for gamefish, but mainly for anglers using bait. Kob, kingies, shad and now garrick too have been landed in the last week. Live bait has been the best so far, with artificials being ignored by most fish to date.

Scottborough Point produced nothing more than a few edibles, a fair number of shad and the odd garrick. Grey sharks have also been landed during the evenings in the right conditions.

Port Shepstone has had a bit of sardine action and the larger fish that go with them. Kob have been a very popular target species at night and many have been caught throughout the week. The sardines netted at Margate last week were mainly the pilot shoals which have been moving through regularly.
