Plenty shad at Scottburgh
The Scottburgh area has reportedly produced plenty of shad over the past week.
Toti and Warner Beach are a bit off the boil right now and have only produced a few shad and small kingfish in the mornings.
Umkomaas has had better fishing than the Durban area, producing good numbers of grunter and kingfish. There has been no shortage of brown skates and sandsharks. Snapper salmon have been plentiful and have been considered pests by grunter anglers. The ledges have been a bit bare, but started to pick up towards the end of last week.
Scottburgh had plenty of shad around, but unfortunately a lack of other species to be seen. The odd grey shark was landed on mackerel head, as well as some smaller edibles close in.
Hibberdene had its locals fishing for shad for the lack of other fish in the area.
Port Shepstone has suffered in these times of rough seas, allowing very few anglers to land fish. The lack of kob suggests they have moved further down the coast.
Port St John's is working well at the moment and had plenty of good feedback from the estuaries in those areas. Kob, garrick, kingfish, rock salmon and perch have all been in full force. Most of these fish have been caught on the Strike Pro Sprat Stick on ultralight tackle. Live baits have also worked well for the larger fish. Non-edibles off the bricks have made a good showing for anglers and have been biting consistently throughout the week. Raggies, grey sharks, hammerheads and the odd flatfish have been regular catches mainly over the weekend.
