Kingfish action at Cave Rock

Reports suggest good kingfish action for anglers at Cave Rock on the Bluff over the past week.

The Bluff saw good catches of kingfish on lures around the Cave Rock area and a few kob scattered around the Bluff on bait at night.

Toti has been one of the more productive areas and has kept on producing garrick regularly. 7" White or Pearl Jerk Minnows have been working incredibly well for the garrick, mainly due to the fact that these lures imitate shad, which the garrick have been feeding on excessively. Needlenose plugs and S-bend spoons have also worked well for these garrick, although most have been successful with the jerk minnows.

Scottburgh has also had its fair share of garrick, from the rocks as well as south off the open beaches. Other fish such as stone bream and the odd bronze bream have been caught in these areas as well.

Port Shepstone was on fire over the weekend with many stories of garrick and kob. This area is extremely popular at this time of the year and it is good to see that there are fish to keep anglers busy. A wide variety of fish was seen over the last week in this area which spreads all the way down to Port St John's.

The sardines are still in the Waterfall Bluff area, but have been much deeper and have been holding the sharks close to them. The action closer in has still been significant and many anglers have had a good time with edibles as well as non-edibles. Down to the southern side of Port St John's the action has not stopped. Kob have been caught 24/7 on paddletail, as well as a variety of smaller edibles in the gullies on bait.
