Shad biting at the Bluff

Anstey's on the Bluff has produced a fair amount of Shad, whilst those in the know have started targeting Brusher too.

For anglers that are prepared to put in the time at Toti and Winkelspruit, there are still some Garrick around although live baits seem to be in the water a lot longer than is expected. With a few Shad coming out at both spots, Anglers have switched to live Mullet which have been netted in nearby rivers to try and improve their chances.

There are still some Grunter coming out at Umkomaas although mainly juveniles. A lucky local landed a 15 kg Kob using a Kingfisher Poseidon Medium Rod and Daiwa SL50 with a Chokka/Redeye combination as bait.

Its going to be a hot day in Durban with a maximum temperature of 29 degrees, we have NNW winds blowing this morning with NE’s for the remainder of the day. The surf is pretty dismal, it’s small and choppy with an easterly swell direction so not much for surfers and bodyboarders but a great day for general beachgoers.
