this time of the year, its best to be down south coast or from blue lagoon down south, garrick, salmon at night and early mornings, shad, kingfish ( Gt's) on live bait around ledges are plenty, your timing for the north is a bit off , the sards did come and go but thats all done, the fish are still coming up the coast.
there are salmon at tugela at night but if you want to catch fish without a hit and run case then head south early in the morning, fish twini ledges onwards and u in the game
remeber this is related to eds off the shore only.
