Angler News South Africa Podcast

Reel in the latest fishing updates, tips, and tricks with the king of KZN fishing, Vinesh Soogreem, on the award-winning Angler News South Africa (ANSA) podcast!

ANSA is Africa's only fishing podcast that focuses on the latest fishing reports, whether they're hot or not. ANSA delivers true and accurate content from the country's most prominent anglers every week on various facets of angling.

• The KZN Fishing Report (Thursday mornings)
From the Lower South Coast, Adam Lyon covers everything fishing-related from Port Edward to Port Shepstone. The news then flows down to the Kingsburg/Illovo stretch, where Ray Thompson gathers content from the rocks daily. For the Durban report, we have two correspondents: Mike Vlcek, a seasoned competitive angler, and Brad Grobbler, known as the East Coast's Davie Jones for the time he spends on the water keeping anglers up to date on the week's activities. ANSA also has Don Solomon, the president of the SA Spearfishing Association delivering a weekly report of conditions and catches from this facet. North Coast reports from Tongaat to Richards Bay are covered by Suvikaar Sewlall, who not only delivers reports but also provides detailed advice on various aspects of angling. The fishing report rounds off in the Midlands with Jan Korrûbel reporting on all facets of freshwater angling.

This weekly report includes predictions for the upcoming weekend from Vinesh and the team.

• Expert Angling Interviews (every second Monday from 5am): Dive deep into the fishing world with Vinesh's in-depth interviews. He chats with leading anglers and industry experts, tackling topics that are on every angler's mind. Learn how to read tides and weather, master specific techniques, and even explore the path to becoming a protea angler.

With over two decades of experience, Vinesh's authority on KZN fishing is unmatched. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, the ANSA podcast has something for everyone.
