Toti shad and kingfish success
We have heard of good shad and kingfish action at Amanzimtoti over the past week.
Toti was a spinner’s paradise for species such as shad and kingfish over the last week, seeing many fish around 2kg being landed. Anglers using bait also did fairly well and managed to get a wider variety of species out. Grunter, pompano, stumpnose and also a few nice rockcod were caught during the week, and with the weekend’s weather being a bit rainy, less catches were reported from these areas. Excellent weather for flatfish is predicted for the upcoming week, so make sure to stock up on mackerel and red-eye.
Scottburgh Point is still producing the goods, seeing a number of brown skates and diamond rays, sandsharks and the odd honeycomb on the right days. Many anglers have been making use of the Mustad Tuna Circles for the in-edibles which has been the top performing circle hook in recent days and has become more popular now in the summer flatfish season. Most anglers have been using this hook with the Dingle Dangle. However, it is also extremely effective when snelled on carbon coated wire for a rigged bait.
For anglers looking to target edibles off the rocks along the south coast, an exciting addition to the family has landed. The already trusted Poseidon Coastline range has released a 12'6" model with a light action tip. This extremely affordable scratching rod is rated at 1-3oz and is ideal for species such as bronze bream, galjoen, blacktail and stumpies. With a fast taper, this rod is ideal for keeping fish out of the rocks once hooked thanks to the backbone, but does not compromise on casting distance and action.
