Baitballs off Durban this 10 August 2024

Baitballs off Durban this 10 August 2024: many pockets of baitfish were spotted off Durban this lovely KZN Winter morning. Starting early and even up to 9:30 am the fish were still clearly visible on the surface.

Adam Kamdar of TownShip Hyper brings us the visuals and talks us through the current set of conditions we have today and the next few days.

We do not know what they are at this stage, but they could be;

• sardines
• mackerel
• maasbanker
• redeye sardines

These usual suspects have been active in the Durban area recently. Often being mistaken for sardines, most of the netting that has been done, has produced mix bags of the above.

Here is the 9:28 am video update…

Sardine Maps

Having intel to make the right decisions can save you hours and hours of frivolous  sardine hunting. We have taken great care to log the activity of each  sardine run since 2021. These records are available for anyone to look at.

If you study the maps year to year, you will see that right now we are only just in the middle of good  sardine conditions. And that in previous years catches were made right into the summer months.
