Exploring Umkomaas River - Kingfish

One of our favourite spots to stop at and have a quick cast whilst traveling to see customers down the KZN South Coast.
Starting the session off at the pier but with the strong winds and light tackle, The Crow decided to take shelter in the estuary.
Was a quick 1hr session managing 3 Kingies, losing several bigger ones, and getting several good hits.
This is a real-time video, highlighting just how fun and easy it can be for most ages to enjoy.
All fish were released
WATCH TILL THE END as The Crow breaks down the tackle used and some Tips/Tricks.

Hi Lionel. Great content as always! Question: Do you think the Archipelago Light Shore Jigging 14g-42g would be able to perform the same dropshot function as the Recon Inshore rod you are using? Have never tested it out. Would love to know your opinion! Thanks 😀

[@FishingDBN]

Suggest the Recon inshore specifically designed for this application with smaller lures

[@catchingfinsZN]

Can you go with a boat in this river ?

[@FishingDBN]

Hi there not sure if allowed motorized upriver. Very shallow though most areas

[@catchingfinsZN]

What other rivers are good for fishing around kzn where a motorised boat can go ?

[@FishingDBN]

Not much kzn come to think of it with motorized boats

[@DarthSeanious]

[@FishingDBN]

Fish in groups as precaution
