Huge shad/bluefish caught on small rod - Shad fishing Durban 2024

Спорт

Jacques and I (Jason) did another Virginia pier trip and while I had popped out to get a new rod, Jacques had caught this huge shad ("Bluefish" in the USA and "Tailor" in Australia) on a tiny 5ft6 rod. What an action-packed fight! Subscribe for more!

    We don't eat the fish, however, for the safety of those who do, I constantly check beachwater.durban.gov.za/ website which indicates whether it's poor/acceptable/ideal. At Glenashley Beach the water quality report shows that it's perfectly safe (ideal).
