The right stuff for attracting dorado right into your baits

It’s been a slow but consistent season fishing for dorado down on the south coast of KZN. Not much rain again causes concern – there was hardly much brown water – it comes and goes with the tides. Some theories attest that the rain sweeps nutrients from the land and into the ocean where it’s needed by all the tiny sea creatures, as nutrients.

But it’s mainly been the adverse weather caused by the cyclone sweeping air straight at us, that has made for the slow season. Just getting out there is a challenge! Interestingly, Tofinho Point in Inhambane, Souther Mozambique, has been breaking every day with absolutely beautiful conditions. That stretch of coastline is blessed as the tail of the cyclones whips the air offshore and all the while a strong easterly swell. Heaven!

But for now, it’s hoping and praying for rain from the south…come on south westerlies!
