Margate shad and pompano action
Margate has produced some good shore fishing over the past week.
Toti and Warner Beach also had a mixed bag of fish, being made up of mainly inedibles. Warner Beach being the stumpie hotspot saw quite a few decent Sstumpnose as well as shad early in the mornings. Sea lice has been the most effective bait for the stumpies.
Scottburgh was quieter than usual, but still managed to produce a handful of sharks and flatfish, with a few kingfish sneaking in here and there.
Umkomaas saw plenty of Brown Rays and Sandies throughout the week. Smaller kingies were also present and took artificials and small baits.
Baizley had far more action than the previous weeks on Saturday and Sunday, producing a few diamonds, sandies and browns, all of the usual summer suspects.
Margate and surroundings have had a decent run, having seen a few bigger shad, bronze bream and even pompano. Once again, the early risers have been responsible for most of the catches.
Munster has also woken up with good reports of bronze bream, huge stone bream and blacktail.
Port St John's is working well and has pleased most anglers. Good shad, many small kob, kingies and garrick on plug. Smaller kingies have been landed in good numbers in the estuaries, by anglers using live mullet or artificials.
Mazeppa Bay has shown off some of its larger garrick, which have taken live shad or plugs. The bulk of the damage being done on the Chaos Plugs. A firm favourite among the braids which have recently been released on South African market is the Daiwa J-Braid which has proven phenomenally strong for its rating and is by far one of the most affordable 8 strand braids available to date. The 20lb has proven more than sufficient for larger species such as garrick and kob.
