Fishing the KZN South Coast in Summer

16kg Dorado by Ryan Enslin

Chasing dorado up and down the brown water line created by the seasonal flood waters…has yielded good catches lately…this upsized bull dorado was caught a bit further out though, along with the magnificent Cracker below…

The current on this coast line has characteristically been screaming but every now and then it lets up, allowing for some deeper water bottom fishing. Roger Davidson has been on a roll…with these prehistoric monster Black Steenbras, or Musselcracker, or Poenskop as they are known around here…

Umzimkulu Dorado!

When the rivers fill right up with brown pigmented water from the summer rain catchment areas in Kwa-Zulu Natal, they  spew out into the ocean hitting the current to form a beautiful seam between the brown and blue water.

This is Dorado time on the Natal and Transkei coast! They swim up and down this seam ambushing baitfish caught swimming in and out of these brown clouds.

Marc Lange with two nice ones…I am pretty sure there were a few more in the hatch! The Umzimkulu River mouth makes for a huge plume and the dorado patrol aggressively…feeding all day sometimes.
