IT is safe to say that summer is here, the blistering heat and no wind has been good and bad for all facets of fishing.
Anglers fishing the Kosi Bay area have been rewarded with many good catches of Sand Sharks and Brown Rays and there are plenty of Kingfish around for the guys fishing for edibles.
Anglers have been having a lot of fun with these fish in the 5-10kg range as they do take spoon as well as bait.
Anglers are throwing their spoons just over the reefs that you can pinpoint from the shore and retrieving them very quickly.
Richards Bay North is producing some good Brown and a few Diamond Rays on Mackerel bait, anglers lucky to have Red Eye Sardine are cleaning up the Brown Rays, and anglers are attaching the head of their bait to a Dingle Dangle that will hang under the new Mustard Offset Circle hook.
Richards Bay South is seeing plenty of Diamond Rays and Sand Sharks at the moment, the warmer water seems to be bringing them very close as some anglers are hooking into fish that are no further than the first trough.

Up at Cape Vidal the Tuna appear to be slowing down with only a few coming out over the weekend but there are still a few Dorado around the deeper spots and off the colour line.
Anglers seem to be having quite a bit of luck trawling over the colour line or right on it.
There are definitely still catches of Couta and Dorado around the Sodwana area which is good news for those planning on taking a trip there over this weekend.
