Kob and Shad spotted at Umkomaas
According to the latest Kingfisher rock & surf update, the Umkomaas River mouth is still producing some kob, as well as shad in the morning sessions. Tides are important here as the shad move off on the low tide or outgoing tide, when the river has made the water dirty.
Scottburgh has been fairly quiet - the only info received was of some blue rays and the odd big kob coming out at night.
Further south, the evergreen Sandspit area in Port Shepstone is definitely a “go to” spot, as there have been reports of kob on Rapala lures, as well as McArthy dropshots. Early risers have also been getting some shad on traditional shad traces with sardine as bait.
Port Edward has seen some better-sized shad than up the coast and although there seems to be fewer garrick, there’s still plenty of kob around.
It’s going to be a beautiful day in Durban with clear skies, a maximum temperature of 27 degrees and NE winds blowing.The onshore winds will not be great for surfers but with warm weather it may still prove to be a fun outing for beach walkers and bathers.
