Big couta run still hot on the KZN South Coast

The big couta run continues down south where fishing off Port Shepstone, Marc Lange, Andrew Lange and Koos Viviers came home with these magnificent photos of their day at sea recently. Nice sized couta caught on MYDO Livebait traces with frisky mackerel attached. Marc, Andrew and Koos have been proponents of The MYDO Fishing System since it’s inception.
