Shad and kingfish at Umkomaas

We have been told of very good fishing at Umkomaas river mouth over the past week.

Toti has had lovely off-coloured water which has kept the brown rays in the area. The swimming pool area has been the most productive spot over the last week and weekend. Very few shad have been caught in the area and so mackerel or red-eye has been the bait of choice.


Winkelspruit has been a bit off lately and only reports of a few grey sharks have come through.


Umkomaas river mouth on the other hand has been on fire and has produced many fish over the last week. Brown rays, shad, grey sharks, grunter, stumpies and also some good size kingfish.


Scottburgh Point has had lots of greys, srowns and a few sandsharks, which have gobbled up most red-eye baits.


Margate saw plenty of shad and sandies with the odd kingfish around too.


Port St John's saw a few hammerhead and larger grey sharks, which both large chokka slide baits.


Further south at Brazen Head anglers had a field day with the hammerhead sharks and shad. Shad being the bait of choice for most sharks landed.
