Huge Red Steenbras on KZN South Coast

Huge Red Steenbras on KZN South Coast

There have been some huge fish on KZN South Coast caught lately. Topping the list is Port Edward’s Paul Marshall-Smith, who came home with a whopper 43kg Red Steenbras.

Mark Snyman was fishing off Trafalgar when his 28kg couta struck, and is one of a few dozen of these big fish taken over the last month or so, on the KZN Lower South Coast.

This time of year has seen these huge couta almost consistently coming out. They favour the live mackerel and shad that have congregated before the sardines arrive. Which these big couta must also know about and are gonna give them the red carpet treatment as soon as they arrive. The next few couta and species competitions coming up are going to be interesting!

Consistent catches of smaller kob have been made, and even a few early garrick have shown up.

KZN Winter – what dreams are made of!
