Umhlanga stumpnose action
Kosi Bay – Kosi is known this time of the year for its massive kingfish smashes and excellent shark angling. However things have been in favour of the light tackle anglers over the last week with plenty of smaller species keeping the anglers occupied. Bonefish, stumpies, grunter and smaller kingies have been the top contenders thus far.
Cape Vidal - Vidal has been producing numbers of sand sharks and honeycomb rays on slide baits as well as throw baits. Get in on the action and try out some of these fish on spinning outfits for some great fun. We have also received reports of bigger kingies coming out on live baits more frequently. A few of these specimens have tipped the scales at over 20kgs.
Richards Bay - With the NE winds blowing as strong as they have been, the brown rays, honeycombs and sand sharks have really turned on. Smaller edibles have been coming out in between the flat-fish.
Zinkwazi - A steady run of grey sharks and flat-fish of all sizes have been coming out in this area, even with the with the sea up and winds blowing.
Umdloti - Water conditions have been up and down. With the discoloured water moving in, the inedibles are sure to come on the bite shortly. With a 2.5m swell and strong currents, very few paddle skis launched here recently.
Umhlanga – Anglers fishing off Lighthouse have pulled out some impressive sharks and edibles too. Stumpies have been the main target species and some good specimens of over 3kgs are coming out on sea lice bait.
Virginia - Over the last week some very nice pompano and flat-fish have been landed. Due to the heavy sidewash, large sinkers or grapnels had to be used by anglers to secure a bait in the zone.
Blue Lagoon - Unfortunately due to all of the rain water washing down the river, the water in the Blue Lagoon area was very discoloured. However, a few anglers were successful using red eye sardines as bait. They hooked into a few flat-fish and grey sharks. Fishermen walking north and south to find cleaner water were rewarded with some kingies on Sea Iron spoons and Kingfisher Pro Jet spoons.
