Durban harbour rockcod action
Again we see as the sea gets big, many anglers flock to the harbour in a desperate attempt to remain fishing. We have seen plenty charter boats launching to anchor on Limestone Reef just outside the harbour which gives each angler their four size-making shad within ten minutes of fishing.
Other species which have been caught around the Limestone Reef are kob, geelbek, couta and tuna. These fish are uncommon, but shows us just how close they are willing to venture inshore to feed. Of course, these fish come as a great surprise to backline fishermen and test their skills on the light tackle that is being used.
Inside the harbour, the water seems to be colder than before. The grunter are feeding well, however few reports of large fish have come through.
Good sized rockcod have been caught by a group of anglers near the mouth on cracker shrimp baited on Mustad Mosquito #4 hooks. These hooks keep on proving themselves over and over again.
