Hook, Line, & Summer Shine - KZN REPORT (12 Dec 24)

Loading player...
What a week it’s been in KZN – the summer heat is full on, but so is the fishing! Dorado has stolen the show, with reports flooding in from every corner – skiboats, kayaks, and even rock and surf. It’s been a Dorado frenzy, but that’s not all! Gray sharks, wahoo, big shad, bronze bream, and even some freshwater action have been keeping anglers busy.

Central areas around Durban has spotted great catches of grays, sandies, and even a few Zambezis. Offshore has been a playground for game fish, including wahoo, tuna, and sailfish. Meanwhile, down the South Coast, it’s been non-stop action with dorado off the rocks and boats, along with big shad and some serious rock salmon.

The freshwater scene in the Midlands has been a little quieter, but bass are starting to show up, and yellowfish are in full feeding mode.

Whether you’re casting off the rocks, out on a kayak, or diving, there’s something for everyone right now. As Adam Lyon puts it: “Bring everything you’ve got!” It’s all happening in KZN this summer. So, grab your gear, head out, and make the most of this epic season!
