South coast snapper and bream
Fishermen on the KZN south coast are enjoying some success at the moment with several species taking baits.
Snapper salmon and small grunter in the 20 to 25cm range have kept anglers busy in and around Umkomaas lately.
Stone bream and shad have been the more popular species in Scottburgh
Much further south, Trafalgar has been bronze bream heaven recently and Port Edward has seen shad on the bite. For more info visit www.kingfisher.co.za

Durbanites are in for a maximum of 25 degrees, clear skies and with light WNW winds blowing on Thursday. Yesterday the swell direction had a bit of east in it, but there were some fun peaks around with surfers tucking into the odd barrel on the coast. It may be worth exploring again this morning.
