Hi –my name is Charl and I will be your
skipper. Having lived and fished in The rest of the year is very good. |
The Dorado start in mid November and then carry on right through –I have even caught some in August. In November after the spring rains have started the Umfolozi comes down and brings a lot of dirty water which creates a color line which usually runs South during high tide and North when the tide is low. The Dorado love the color line where bait fish hide in the dirty water and come into the clean to feed. It is often very productive to run conas on the color line this time of the year and also to work the drop off. |

The Couta –King Mackerel start mid December and by February the run is in full swing. They feed in different areas between Levin Point and the Lighthouse 20km South of St. Lucia. It can be quite frustrating to find them sometimes especially when you hear of a boat catching 20 and you have none. It is very important to communicate with everyone to see whether to
go to The Natal Snoek or Queen Mackerel start in March and run through until late in the year –even in November. These fish can be VERY illusive at times and yet often they are in feeding frenzies. One of my favourite sightings out to see is when you look around and see them jumping “everywhere” – the adrenaline seems to take over! When they are in a feeding frenzy they will bite on anything but other times they are pretty fussy. I have found a white plastic squid to work well while trawling as well as Halcos –my secret weapon the black halco with the red head! Snoek also like the colour line and often “bait ball” small fish usually bonies. “Flicking” for them is your best option –the green Maria or anything green usually works best. On the colour line “strip” bait also often works. |

Bottom fishing is always good here and if there are no game fish you can rest assured that we will get some “bottoms”. My favourite bottom fishing is for the Cock Grunter which start in Mid August and goes through to February –March. These feed in large shoals on shallow reefs and can go up to 8kg. Very good eating fish. We cater for the fisherman that prefers comfort (on land and on sea) so we have packages which include accommodation in a 4 star luxury guest house (pool, aircon etc. etc). You can choose from either B&B or self catering. And remember if the vrou says a lot bring her along –there’s plenty for her to do here while you do the business! Please contact us for prices and packages. |
