Transitioning Seasons and Hotspots - KZN REPORT (15 Aug 24)

--:--
Despite a challenging week, the South Coast showed promising results, particularly in wind-protected areas. Anglers have hauled in a variety of catches, including sharks, shad, and large blacktail along the rock and surf.

Offshore fishing is improving with the seasonal change, offering good prospects.

The freshwater fishing segment is also thriving with favourable conditions. Reports from the coast emphasise the current seasonal transition period, with detailed insights from local experts on hotspots and this weekend's fishing forecasts.

Offshore: Plenty of whales have been spotted enjoying the Durban sun. Please keep an eye out for them and respect their space. The fishing has been a good mix of gamefish and bottom species.

Rock and Surf: The rock and surf fishing has been interesting. The fish are around, but the fishing has been tough. Put in the time, and you will reap the rewards.

Freshwater: The trout are still doing well, despite the rivers being closed; the bass are eating everything, as usual; and the carp are eagerly taking most baits.
