Catch updates and drone ban explained

In this week's episode, we cover a variety of topics important to the fishing community. These include the ban on using drones for fishing, an explanation of the law, its consequences, and legally allowed alternatives. We’ve also got the latest KZN fishing reports from our reporters along the coastline and in freshwater areas. We also touch on a personal story regarding the camaraderie among anglers, focusing on the support and brotherhood within the fishing community, particularly in times of need.
Offshore: The focus in the last few weeks has been on the bottom. The bottom fishing has been rewarding but the snoek and tuna are still around for those who prefer moving and fishing.
Rock and Surf: The main action has been based around the sardines. Some amazing gamefish have been caught around these silver shoals. The shoals have been sporadic, but they are around if you persevere.
Freshwater: The freshwater fishing has been a nice mix of fish with the weather making some days a bit tricky to fish.
