KZN tuna and dorado success

Sodwana Bay has produced a couple of early season dorado. Most of these fish are being caught on feathers and Kingfisher Rattler 150. When the dorado are in the area, it is a good idea to use straight Siglon fluorocarbon and avoid the use of wire.

The marlin should come on the bite soon. November basically sees the start of the Marlin season off the KZN coast. A good way to target these fish is to find some live bait such as small tuna and dorado. Then proceed to pull lures until you get s strike. Once you find the fish, you can use your bait to entice a bite.

Aliwal Shoal down to Park Rynie has produced good catches of small yellowfin tuna and the odd dorado. There have been some big sharks in the area. So when you hook a fish, make sure you wind as fast as possible. There are still some decent catches of geelbek on the deeper spots off Umkomaas. When targeting the geelbek, you will always have a chance of getting a musselcracker. This is a very good fish for eating.
