Big Edible Fish in Big Seas - KZN REPORT (11 July 24)

Loading player...
Anglers in KZN have been catching good fish despite recent challenging weather conditions. There’ve been reports of big catches in Durban, the KZN North Coast, the South Coast, and the Midlands. These catches include Garrick, Shad, and Kob. Offshore anglers have caught Tuna, Snoek, and Amberjack, while freshwater reports indicated active Trout and Bass patterns. Also in this episode, we’ve got our first spearfishing report, in collaboration with Don Solomon, plus fishing tips from experts to help you improve your strike rate.
Offshore: Plenty of fish for all. Whether you prefer the fast-paced predators or the strong-pulling bottom fish, there is something for you!
Rock and surf: The shore-based fishing has been the only hot thing in KZN at the moment. Whether you prefer to throw lures or big baits, there have been amazing fish for all facets!
Freshwater: The freshwater has been fishing very well with the trout and bass being the headliners of the freshwater news.
