KZN's unstoppable anglers - KZN REPORT (7 Nov 24)

--:--
Weather conditions around KZN this week have been challenging. However, some anglers have had rods bending with bream, brusher, shad, Kob, and non-edible species catches. While offshore fishing has seen rewards, freshwater fishing continues to produce strong results. Reports from various coastal areas like the South Coast, Durban, and North Coast reveal varied catches including Sand sharks, grey sharks, and bronze bream. Spearfishing and rock and surf fishing also faced challenges, but fingers are crossed for better conditions ahead.
Offshore: The offshore scene is heating up with a surge in tuna, dorado, and Couta catches along the KZN coastline.

Rock and Surf: Brusher remain a popular target, and there are still decent numbers of Garrick down the South Coast.

Freshwater: Freshwater fishing has been productive across the board, with carp, yellowfish, and trout all being caught.

Cover angler: Dean Reddy with a stunner of a Grunter caught in Richards Bay.
