Kob biting at Port Shepstone
We have heard of very good kob fishing in the Port Shepstone area this past week.
Amanzimtoti has fished well this week with plenty of shad teasing anglers throughout the day, being caught on spoons used for other species such as Natal snoek and kingfish, which have also been present at most beaches along the Toti stretch. Baits used for edibles have also produced some good shad catches and even a garrick. There have been sandsharks caught on bloody baits and brown rays on smaller cutlet baits. Remember that the shad season is closed right now!
At Scottburgh there have been a fair number of grey sharks off the point, caught more frequently by anglers casting further with grinder set-ups. The blacktail and smaller stumpies have been on the loose, cleaning up most baits in the water. Small kingfish have been landed on the smaller Kingfisher Anchovy spoons and McArthy drop-shot. Shad have been caught while targeting kingfish on a variety of spoons.
Some very nice size kob reported from the Port Shepstone area this week. The garrick have been scarce, but with the weather expected for the next week, we will be almost sure to see some more action shortly.
At Port St John's garrick and kob have been prolific in most of the popular bays and off points, and a surprisingly high number if non-edibles such as raggies, bronze whalers and large grey sharks have been present. Some extremely large sharks have been spotted swimming around off the deeper water points, so if multiple rods are being used, a good idea would be to have a shorter cast with a large bait to try catch one of the sighted sharks in the shallower waters.
Mpolompo has been producing good catches of albacore as well and most often rivers are fishing very well for species such as kob, garrick, springer and kingfish. Most of these fish are being caught on small Strike Pro poppers, Rooster poppers, Thai Sticks and suspending stick baits such as the Sprat Stick.
