Epic fishing down South - KZN REPORT (8 August 24)

Loading player...
The KZN South Coast has been buzzing with excitement over the catch of Bronze Bream and other impressive rock species. Meanwhile, the North Coast is boasting daily catches of massive Kob despite difficult conditions, and freshwater fishing has picked up after a slow few weeks. The Angler News team continues to provide accurate reports, helping anglers improve their strike rates by guiding them to the best feeding spots.

Offshore:
The wind has made for a couple of bumpy trips this past week. The fishing has been a bottom-fishing-dominant affair with a few decent gamefish in the mix.
Rock and surf:
Winter = edibles. The Garrick have been the main attraction for most this past week but the brusher and bream have been making a good account of themselves.
Freshwater:
Cold weather, clear water and stable conditions. The fishing has been tough but most of the facets have reported good results.
