Fishermen reel in big catches
His lure of choice was a 1.50z 7/0 long hook jig head and pearl/green paddle tail worked just along the bank with a slow retrieve.
A few hours of effort, resulted in a well-deserved catch at Sandspit in Port Shepstone under the Mzimkhulu Bridge, which is proving to be fertile ground for big fish.
Avhier Singh caught a magnificent 139cm kob, using his 11ft amia assassin xh zero, 6000 saragosa and JDB ultra tech 20lb braid with 0.6 king fisher leader.
His lure of choice was a 1.50z 7/0 long hook jig head and pearl/green paddle tail worked just along the bank with a slow retrieve.
Meanwhile in the deep seas, a very unexpected but very welcome surprise addition to the the personal record books of skipper Chris Diedericks took place after he caught a hungry looking pink salmon.
The fish decided to help itself to one of Chris’ sardines, that was set up on a trap stick for tuna. At 7kg it’s amongst the largest of its species and was caught at out at Protea Banks in Shelley Beach.
