Gops Moodley (76) with a 5kg salmon caught off Splash Rock in Port Edward recently.

With the sea starting to behave and the weather being a little more predictable, we are beginning to see some lovely catches.

The South Coast has seen a lot of brusher caught in the past few weeks.

All the deeper rocky spots have produced fish. Crabs have been the pick of the baits.

If you cannot get your hands on this wonder bait, you can use an octopus leg or a whole mussel.

These are very strong fish in some nasty terrain so make sure your tackle (and you) are up for the task.

Tersius Fords from Port Shepstone with a beautiful 15.2kg cracker caught recently.

The rest of coast has seen a smattering of summer inedibles for the drone and throw bait anglers. The gullies and ledges have produced some bream and other edibles.

Tight lines and screaming reels.
