VIDEO: KZN couta fishing footage
It sure has been a while since my last fishing outing off the KZN coast.
However, this absence is set to end this weekend with an appearance at the Imperial Nissan Zululand Couta Classic.
I will be back out on the water chasing couta off Mtunzini.
The biggest couta this weekend will net the angler involved no less than R30 000.
I was lucky enough to fish in both Quattro King of the Sea and the Durban Ski Boat Club Jetski Bonanza last year.
I did draw a blank on both occasions with a tuna throwing my hook right next to the boat during Quattro off Shelley Beach.
I sure hope my competitive fortunes will improve off Zululand this weekend.
I will also be back at Quattro at Pumula Beach next month.
However, my focus this week is firmly on Mtunzini and my hopes of catching a big couta.
I will let you know how I go and will be sharing results and photos from the competition here on the Sportswave page early next week.
For now let me leave you with a taste of what may transpire at the Imperial Nissan Zululand Couta Classic this weekend.
I suspect the winning couta will be a lot bigger than the ones in the footage below.
Last year a couta of 27.6kg took the first prize at Mtunzini.
