Sailfish and monster tuna have also been on the menu at Vidal, which makes the drive worthwhile. Other great fishing spots have been uMdloti, Umhlanga and Westbrook.
Trolling fillet baits behind the backline in the early morning have proved very productive. The rock and surf fraternity have seen smaller kob in the Tugela mouth – caught on most baits – with chokka and sardine proving most popular.
These waters have also produced decent shad and tripletail. Anglers are encouraged not to overfish these species, but rather consider releasing them to help sustain the eco-system.
