It has been proven over and over again that no fish is too big for fisherman, Dawie Redelinghuis to land.
Dawie has been fishing the deep sea for many years, and landed a 20.2kg mussel cracker off Shelly Beach recently.
He had an excellent week of deep sea fishing, as he also landed a prodigal son weighing in at 10kg the same week. Top catches Dawie.
On the rock and surf side, fisherman, Ian Logie said it has been quiet. “Fishing on the mighty Mzimkhulu River was not bad, a few fish were caught last weekend with a few shad at The Block, Port Shepstone, but nothing big.”
A nice size garrick was caught at Margate Pier by a youngster last weekend.
Daren Naicker caught a carp in the Mzimkhulu River recently. Rajiv Sadapal caught a 6kg brusher, also at the weekend.
Make sure you are licenced
Saltwater fish species of South Africa are under pressure and many anglers ignore catch and size limits. This ultimately has a big impact on fish stocks.
Stick to the size and bag limits for your area. There is an overall cumulative daily bag limit of 10, provided that this limit does not apply to those species listed with a bag limit.
Recreational fishing permits are available at any Post Office and is issued in the holder’s name and is not transferable. No recreational permit holder is allowed to sell any part of their catch.
Bag limits: Shad – 4, karanteen – 10, bronze bream – 2, kob – 1, garrick – 2.
