Grunter action in Durban harbour
Durban harbour, like Richards Bay harbour, has been on great form throughout the week. One boat managed to hook into plenty grunter which all made size, two of which weighed over 5kg.
All of the fish were released safely to fight another day.
Other boats managed quite a few fish of various sizes and species, including kob and rockcod. Charter boats did well, sending most anglers home with something decent for the pot.
The brown rays have made an appearance and quite a few have been landed off the banks on light outfits such as the Daiwa Laguna 2500 reels and Laguna 7ft rods. Most of these fish range between 5-15kg. Smaller baits work like a charm, and although larger baits on size 5/0 hooks are used in the surf, all that is required in the harbour is a size 4 Mustad Chinu hook or Mosquito hook rigged with a cracker shrimp as bait.
