Kob action in Durban harbour

The harbour will most probably be the only spot that anglers will be able to find shelter to fish this weekend with the bad weather coming through.

Luckily there has been some excellent fishing in the harbour over the last week and anglers can look forward to some good grunter, kob and maybe even garrick action over the coming weekend.

Saturday and Sunday will be the days to fish, with surface temperature dropping over the weekend, as well as the wind subsiding somewhat from Thursday and Friday.

Grunter have continued to feed well over the last week, preferring the deeper water over the shallower banks.

A kob of 6kg was also boated during the week deeper in the channel on a sardine belly bait.

A few other smaller kob have been landed near the mouth on cracker as well as sardine baits.

It is usually at this stage of the year that many of the fish in our waters will readily feed on sardine. 

Good catches of stumpnose have also been seen around the mangroves on cracker.
