Hennie you don't get Raggies in Mtunzini! What you do is get some 20/0 hooks,some 250lb wire,a non return and make a slide trace.Next load your reel with some 6lb line,and 1.5mm wind on leader.You must throw a 10oz sinker atleast 150m other wise you won't get a bite.The slide a whole 2kg Bonito out.tight lines.Oh and fill in your location bud..

I got to disagree with you on this one - you do get Raggies there, not all the time but they even been caught at "The Banks" before.

Doggy Beach at Mtinzini as well.

This is not a great time of the year to go and fish Mtinzini - Summer is best.

I would look for a "Gutter" and slide in there - there is an opportunity for a Zambezi though.

Heya Misguide.Ok you do get Raggies at Mtunzini and Tugela i agree.But they are very rarely caught.Best time for them are August,October.And i've noticed at that time off the year,the best baits for them are those huge mullets.Also got to agree with you,at Mtunzini you more likely to get a Zambezi,but more likely at night.Im sure the water must be really clean now!

HS,

Try the live mullet or a mackerel or chokka or yellow tail head or bonnie head on slide.

I do agree with Nemesis that a better chance for the Zambezi than the Raggie.

Well July, August, September the right time of year for Port St Johns for that Bag.

In fact at most deep water points in the Kei that time of year you should come right.


Also on the KZN Lower South Coast you will get some Bags this time of the year.
