3 must have lures

[kevf]

Off to umgazana early Friday morning for the weekend, taking a fishing ski and want to have a good go in the estuary! What 3 lures should I definitely have in my box, I've got mainly strike pros bought in our local bass shop! Plan on trawling a bit and having a few throws at any good looking spots I see

Don't for get your zombie lure in case you see some grunts

[Bwana]

Make sure you have the Strike Pro Tai Stick in pearl white (kingies and leeries) and the gold and orange (rock salmon smash that thing)!


 I agree with Reefz about the olive / white bucktail it catches all sorts in the 1/2oz size

Bucktail, some sort of slow retrieve topwater lure, halco sorcerer65 in jelly prawn colour. You can fish it like a normal crank bait or remove the lip and twitch slowly as a top water lure

also have a few ondas, thai sticks and bucktails. planning on being on the water by 5 each morning and with the pushing tide hopefully the fish oblige. also got some live mullet lined up with the gillie. come on Friday!!

I was there last week, White Paddle Tail worked. You can get prawns from the locals for Grunter too and even Squid worked for Perch too. Lovely spot, have fun and go slow it's shallow if you have a boat.

I didn't get much hence not much of a story to tell. I aimed at fishing the Umzimvubu on a little boat I recently bought. Stayed in Port St Johns. The river was chocolate brown though but I tried and tried and tried from the Sunday to the Thursday and all I caught was a MASSIVE crab in the mouth. I also saw some huge Turtles in the mouth area which I thought was strange, and I mean HUGE.
It was only on the Friday after a local guy suggested Umgazana that we went there. What a lovely spot. Shallow but much better water and we soon found a few holes to dip our lines in. I picked up a River Gurnard with the White Paddle tail, gave me a nice fight on the light tackle. We caught a few smaller sized Grunter on Swimming Prawn and on Squid, and also a few Perch on the same bait. I think one came out on Sard aswell.
I really want to go back there as I believe there to be good sized Cob in that river.
The next day we hit Poenskop early and landed a Cob each. Again no record breakers, fairly small. One on Sard and mine again on Paddle Tail, nice hit and run fight. Going back to the Umzimvubu in July....must get those big Grunters...
I think Paddle Tails are brilliant, the movement i the water is amazing.
Last weekend I went to Umzumbe....what a disaster. I Fished Umzumbe Rocks and Pumula...I plugged, paddle tailed, popped, spun and baited Fri/Sat and Sun and caught nothing. I was sent a pic on Tuesday of a guy who caught a 8kg Springer at the exact same spot at Pumula where I was....
and heard that a big King Fish came out on Wednesday at Umzumbe  ....
Hope I'll have more luck next time
