We launched from Durban harbour at 05h00 and went South of the harbour mouth to take the kiddies to do some light tackle fishing for Mackerel, Shad & Sardines using Yozuri's for a few hours.

The wind was blowing already in the morning but the swell was small. The water surface temperature averaged 24 deg. C.

Light tackle Yozuri fishing is great fun for the kiddies and keeps them busy as you are always catching fish and they can land more than 100 fish in a few hours, the fish are not big and so easy for them to handle by themselves.

Truth be told, most adults also enjoy this kind fishing including myself and it always put a smile of joy on everyone's face. It is simply just great fun.

Bio: I have been fishing since I was 5 years old in Durban and have fished many places around the world and in South Africa, but Durban is my home waters. I fished competitive for many years and I have been running my own charters since 2008 with 2 companies and 2 boats, fish a variety of styles and target a variety of fish species in both Salt and Fresh water, have many published articles in several magazines on fishing. Love nature and outdoors, Am very conservation minded and have a passion for birds. I am crazy about big Tuna, Marlin Fishing and Game Fishing, and also love light tackle spinning, am a total lure junkie. Represented my province in fly fishing for many years and am also pro staff for Rapala/Shimano. I want to write a book on fishing one day. 3 items left on my fishing bucket list, guess then a new bucket list will be in order. As a writer I have my own quote: \"I love taking people fishing because it releases their inner child, and in doing so keeps my inner child alive.\"
