The rock and surf fishermen have really started to get excited around the first few hauls of summer inedibles.
This, combined with the good edibles that have been coming out, means the action has been hot!
Garrick has made an appearance and these gamely fighters have been falling for a live shad, and a few have been taken on surface plugs.
A popular spot to catch them has been at Sandspit in Port Shepstone. Anglers are also catching a lot of kob at Sandspit in the evenings.
Bronze bream and black bream are also plentiful. Best times to fish is when there is incoming and outgoing water.
Bass anglers are also busy as the bass are beginning to feed.
Tight lines and screaming reels.
