I always wondered why I never see people fishing the Umgeni, nice to see some great fun can be had there.

Haneef most predatory fish species want a fast retrieve like you said  :-) if that doesnt work try letting the line sink and retrieving it via a stop start method. This way you will create a bit of a disturbance on the bottom and possibly intice any fish to attack it!
