South Coast ski-boat fishing on the boil

South Coast ski-boat fishing on the boil

The Niteshift skippered by Brian Lange had along some old favorites this last weekend. The Jooste crew have honed their luck/skill and came back with three trophy fish.

The ‘couta took a live mackerel just north of Port Shepstone, when soon after, the yellowtail was expertly angled up on a 2/0 hook and then the rockcod rounded off the day.

It was this time last year that the big ‘couta also came through, most likely on their way south to wait in ambush for the sardines. ‘Couta are caught deep into the Transkei – the areas this far south are known to produce monster ‘couta as the season progresses.
