Sheetal Cross
Conditions: Partly sunny, with a passing shower in the afternoon. Rock and Surf: Fishing in the Durban Harbour has been rather slow. The smaller kob have, however, started coming out in the deeper water on chokka baits and cracker. From Ballito to Beachwood, there have been some big shad coming on live mullet and sardine baits. Weekly tip: Hazelmere Dam has also been fishing very well, with lots of decent size bass being caught from the banks on worms and all top water lures.
