After a rough patch with heavy seas and winds, KZN fishing is back in full swing! Rock and surf, offshore, and freshwater anglers are all reporting success. Tinley Manor, Tugela, and St Lucia are hot spots for bream, grey sharks, and a variety of game fish. The Albert Falls Bass Classic and recent river season openings have also been promising for trout and bass.
