Warm and Overcast KZN Summer Weather 19 Nov 24
Warm and Overcast KZN Summer Weather 19 Nov 24: Now this is the Natal summer we know and love. Overcast days. Glassy seas. Flat surf.
And fish!
Over to Adam with today’s early report from the Durban Beachfront…
Rock n Surf
It’s been a helluva week or so. Some dodgy weather and waters. But in between, some dialled-in anglers have been on fire. Kob is the name of the game right now. The discoloured water does not bother the kob at all. They actually love it. So along with the grunter, there is plenty motivation to be having a good pencil bait bobbing around a channel or a gulley near you. You don’t have to throw far!
Margate Pier has been fishing really well. The Sandspit too.
Deep-Sea
And on the backline, we even have a November couta caught. By kayaker on the North Coast – Aldeen! Nice fish man!
Mike Kemp out off Durban was ready and waiting to invite this pretty sailfish to the KZN summer gamefish season. Catch made off Durban, rumoured at Number One.
Dorado! Plenty. Along with the sailfish, swim the dorado. And just behind the dorado are the crazy striped marlin. That swim in shoals! These fish all love the halocline and so you don’t have to empty your fuel tanks to be in on the billfish action. The black marlin season up off Bazaruto in still in full swing. These fish also hover down to the halocline and shallower waters of KZN at this time of the year.
This video is a bit old; it is from about two seasons ago. It was taken on a day when we hooked 3 marlin and this lonely sailfish. Only the sailfish eventually got boatside.
Nice work Phillip!
And one more video, this of Professor Tony Turton, talking about his beloved halocline…
Estuary
Even with the brown water flowing, the fishing in the estuaries has been excellent. I can’t divulge much more than that!
Thanks
