KZN harbours fishing well

KZN harbours fishing well

We have been told of good fishing in both Durban and Richards Bay harbours over the past week.

As the seasons change and anglers find themselves waking up later and later for their weekly fishing excursion, the fish are busy fattening up for winter and can be found feeding well in estuary and harbour systems. 

Along with Richards Bay harbour, Durban harbour has been firing on all cylinders recently and after recovering from an oil spill, is doing exceptionally well.

Grunter of 4kg have been a common catch over the duration of last week, as well as good sized rock cod and stumpnose.

The boats fishing at the Coaling Terminal have found themselves into some good fish on a regular basis, whereas the boats fishing the centre banks did well during the evenings using cracker.

Brown skates are still frequenting the banks and are more than happy to feed on any size cracker.
