Shad back on the bite again on South Coast

A wide variety of fish have been caught.

THE Block at Port Shepstone has been very productive the past week as quite a few decent edible fish have been caught, especially on live bait.

Live karanteen and mullet have been the baits of choice in the evenings and early mornings to catch the kob, garrick and kingies that have been coming out.
