Shad action at Blue Lagoon
We have been told of good shad fishing in the Blue Lagoon area over the past week.
Blue Lagoon is having some good catches of shad lately, as well as a few brown rays. The spinning enthusiasts will be happy to know that there are a few Natal snoek being landed from the north bank of Blue Lagoon. These fish have been taking spoons cast out as far as possible. Most anglers have resorted to using as low as 10 or 15lb braid to get the distance that is required.
Durban Beachfront has again had a mixed bag of stumpies, small pompano, shad and some smaller rays. Although no monsters have been landed, the catches have been consistent. The basin has had most of its catches on the larger side, and there is also a wider variety of species being caught of late. Species include rock salmon, stumpnose, grunter, shad, kingfish, springer, a variety of flatfish and also some huge sharks which are not being landed due to their sheer size.
The Bluff has been a bit quiet with edibles apart from the odd kingie and grunter, and has had only a few reports of grey sharks at night.
