Wahoo action off Zululand
We have been told of good wahoo fishing off Zululand this past week.
The Zululand coast is producing good catches of wahoo with most of the catches being made between 50–100m of water. Fast trawling lures produced most of the bites. Tuna species are being caught as well off Zululand at the moment. Tuna also love fast trawled lures and feed in similar conditions to the wahoo. Both these species will feed better in warmer water (24–26 degrees).
Down the coast between Zinkwazi and Tinley Manor there have been decent catches of queen mackerel (Natal snoek) and the best way to target these is to trawl smaller lures or fillets on the backline.
Durban to Toti is still producing decent catches of amberjack in the deeper water. These fish are extremely strong so be sure to use strong hooks like the Mustad hoodlum 11/0 when targeting these fish.
The KZN lower south coast is producing a few yellowfin tuna and decent catches of bottom fish. The dorado should start making an appearance soon at places like Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks.
