Slingers from the pier!

The last couple of days saw fisherman from Richards Bay get their full
share of slingers from the Piers. This is not a common thing so be sure to
make the best of this occasion.

Fishing in Richards Bay

Fishing in Richards Bay was excellent the last week or so with lots of great reports of good catches all round.

On Saturday morning two Cuda`s landed at Petingo R/bay

These two king mackerels weighting 24.9 kg and 21.7 kg were caught at Petingo off Richard’s bay on Saturday morning both the Cuda`s and the Salmon were caught on live bait, posing with the catch  Skipper Pieter Lourens and his crew from the boat Teazer

Two Javilin grunters at R/Bay on Saturday

 

Catch report for Sat.

I launched late at 07h00 and went straight to caravan park reef , with my first down I picked up the smaller mof grunter, the bait was pushed up the line and I just pulled it down and caught the second fish with my second down and with the same bait. After that it went quite. I caught both fish  before 07h45. It looks as if they were there very early and I just got the end of the run. I used squid only and there were no sharks. It looks as if the moff Grunters might be back, I moved a number of times but did not even get a bite afterwards, and stopped fishing at 09h00.

Couta of the pier

Yet another giant couta was landed of Richards Bay North Pier yesterday. The
lucky fisherman, Mr. Poobal Rungan sais both his fishing partners lost a
couta each before he managed to land his 22kg beauty. Fish around the harbor
mouth area is full-up once again.
