Snapper action in Richards Bay

Kosi Bay – Speckled snappers on prawn and chokka baits, as well as a few smaller kingfish, have been coming out in the Kosi area. There have also been a few honeycombs, so take out the heavy tackle and give these hard fighting fish a go.

Sodwana/Cape Vidal – Sandies, brown skates and bonefish are the order of the day for the anglers in this area, but if you are after bonefish, you will find them more active in the early morning and late evenings.

Richards Bay – Browns rays, spinners sharks, snapper salmon and a few honeycombs in the mix here. The bay has handed over many a snapper salmon to anglers fishing from boats and from the side, most of which have been much larger than previous weeks.

Zinkwazi – Grey sharks have been targeted in the evenings by anglers using spinning outfits and medium sized throw baits. Quite a few fish have been caught, mostly coming out in twos and threes. Brown skates and a handful of honeycombs have also come out. The fish are not always on the bite, so some patience is required.

Ballito – Anglers in this area have been landing grey sharks, brown skates and plenty of shad (typical for the closed season). There has also been a few kingfish in the early mornings.

Durban Piers – Blue rays, brown skates, shad and grunter have been caught on a number of different baits. Red-eye, chokka and sardine fillets have worked the best. The beachfront saw a few grey sharks and still plenty of shad. The few brown skates that came out were caught on the change of tide.
