Anglers reel in incredible catches on South Coast

The fishing frenzy is starting to heat up along the South Coast – rock and surf, boats and kayaks – with anglers reeling in some incredible catches. Although sea conditions were not too favourable, anglers have reported good catches of bream, garrick, cuta, brusher and reds from the boats last weekend.
