Author Topic: Yellowtail on Spoon - Unusual Catch from Shore in Kzn (Read 7825 times)

I had to share this picture of a yellowtail of 60cm that I caught this morning in the Ballito area on a Chase S Bend spoon. Have been spinning for a number of years and this is my first yellowtail so am really stoked as I can add another species to the list.

What a great catch, I cant say I have ever heard of them coming out from the beach regularly anywhere in KZN especially not near Ballito, and must be quite a rare catch from the shore.

Well done

Very good catch off the beach, my old man used to catch them off south pier on spoon and I am sure you will still get them, but there you are throwing into 12m+ water!

Cape St Francis at the light house and St Francis point is two spots were they comes out from time to time. Back in the good old days one guy manege two yellow tails in two cast at the light house on Cape St Francis. It was frunt page on the Tight Lines. I did not think they will come out from shore in KZN.

Theres one Specific Guy , Which name I can never recall , who use to be an expert in spinning for big Yellowtail from the surf in that area ST Francis , them on big Nylon plugs and Spoons .

We use to be amazed at the way he fished , he sat looking for them , and if he made 10 casts in one session it was alot , and out those 10 casts he use to hook up atleast 6 times , not always landing them though...
