Grey sharks on the Bluff
Sharks have kept anglers on the Bluff busy over the past week.
The Umhlanga area only produced the odd shad and stumpie off the rocks, with hardly any bites on large baits. Some anglers caught a Natal snoek or two on spinning tackle off the rocks in the Umhlanga area. The snoek have been scarce, but have recently started to make an appearance again.
Towards the Durban area things started to heat up a bit, with good reports throughout the week. The beaches have produced a mixed bag of edibles as well as some inedibles. Most inedibles were landed in the NE winds that blew over the end of the week and into the weekend, which turned the water into a mass of brown water, and consisted of mainly diamond and brown rays. The edibles which came out were of impressive size, and were taken on most chokka and red-eye baits. The late afternoons seemed to be the most productive time of day. Be sure to head down to the uShaka stretch after two days of NE winds to take part in the flatfish runs, and enjoy a lovely afternoon on the beach with your family.
The Bluff had a good run of grey sharks, which were caught on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon on live baits as well as larger throw baits.
