Loading player...
The week has been spectacular with abundant fish catches reported along various spots of the KZN coast. The sardines have kept the action going along the coastline with plenty of netting action, including on Thursday morning at Illovo Beach. Plus, there’s been gamefish galore and plenty of big toothy critters as well as Garrick, Shad, Tuna, and many other species.
Offshore: There has been plenty of fish around, just a bit of a cheeky shore break to get through and you are set.
Rock and surf: The weather may be cold, but the fishing has been hot! Kob, Garrick, and even some inedible action!
Freshwater: Freshwater fishing has been good despite the cold. There have been fish to be caught for all facets.
