Another prolific week of angling - KZN REPORT (4 July 24)

Loading player...
KZN anglers have been smiling this week as the sardine activity has made for exciting fishing!

Apart from the Sardine Run 'purple patch,' we've had vibrant fishing activities in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) over the past week. Anglers along the coastline and in the Midlands landed plenty of fish species in different regions, including Garrick, Shad, Kob, trout, and bass. We’ve also seen some jaw-dropping species from our offshore side.

Offshore: The bigger seas and heavy winds have made fishing on the boats a little unpleasant, but the bumpy trips have been worth it.
Rock and surf: The shore-based fishing has been a combination of spinning, scratching and a hint of big fish fishing. All that and the sardines are here in numbers!
Freshwater: The trout are feeding well, keeping the midlands anglers happy. The bass are fussy but are there to be caught. The carp are waiting for you to send a mielie bomb their way.
