What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal for the first time?

If heading out to sea always use a tried, tested and reputable team!! The lads at Lynski we’re awesome and come highly recommended

The severe storms made it a challenge one can plan all not the weather. Have fun.

If you want to catch big fish you need to go deep sea. Back-line is not suitable unless you want to play around with small fish.

Get hold of a quality charter fishing outfit where the skipper can put you on the fish. Having GPS points given to you is never enough as you need to know how to fish those marks.

They must start by backline, and then go deep backline and so on. I also observed there that safety is the number one priority with Just Fishing.

Take a moment and enjoy the view. Have fun and make friends. Take pictures and make memories

Be prepared for time on the boat waiting, it's not all action, BUT when it is ,it's worth the wait.

Make sure you dress for comfort and not for style and take a change of clothes for the littler ones
