Shad in Durban harbour

Durban harbour is fishing well at the moment and can only be expected to improve with this week's conditions. Plenty of reports of smaller gamefish around the Coaling Wharf have come from various anglers who spent time on the water last week.

Shad have been plentiful in the bay and it is becoming relatively easy to obtain a few as live baits for the garrick. Sabiki bait rigs with sardine chunks has worked wonders around the rocks near the Coaling Dumper.


Grunter have been on the bite further up the Silt Canal and off the center banks as well.


Some decent kingfish were landed on Strike Pro shallow diving lures in the Silt Canal, as well as pickhandle barracuda and also a kob.
