The Coastline is Rocking - KZN REPORT (12 Sept 24)

Loading player...
The days are warmer, the fishing is getting hotter and the KZN coastline is rocking with anglers being rewarded with their preferred target species. The summer fish are making a more regular appearance allowing KZN fishermen to land a multitude of catches ranging from Sharks to bronze Bream with everything in between and this weekend is certainly poised to be excellent as the conditions are in favour of everyone with a rod and reel. In this episode, the Angler News SA team has gathered information from competitive anglers, locals, and tackle owners to deliver the province's hottest feeding zones…listen now to get your rods bending this weekend!
Offshore:
Fishing has been good offshore with the good weather days seeing bottom fish and gamefish filling the hatches.

Harbour:
The light tackle lure and bait angling on offer in the harbour is something everyone needs to experience. Yes, the water at the slipway can be smelly, but the fun and excitement of catching a springer, kingy or big grunter on a light rod quickly gets that memory behind you. Try it out, you won't regret it!

Rock and Surf:
The shore angling has been good on both the edible and inedible front. The big seas have scoured out some sanded areas so we hope this will improve the fishing.

Freshwater:
The dams and rivers are fishing well. The bass are still the pick of the crop (despite them playing a bit of hide and seek), but the trout are making their presence felt and the carp are keeping their anglers happy.
