Summer fish on our doorstep - KZN REPORT (19 Sept 24)

Loading player...
Despite recent cold, overcast, and rainy weather, the anglers of KZN have produced significant catches ranging from Garrick outside Durban to huge Grunter in the Durban harbour; Bronze Bream going wild down the KZN South Coast and Snoek not leaving a lure alone on the North Coast.
The freshwater scene had also come in with bragging rights as catches of Bass have reached up to 5kgs and there’s non-stop river action with Scalies.
In this episode, we also talk about the upcoming weekend with heavy rain conditions expected, but we talk about how this WILL benefit anglers as we brace ourselves for the summer species on our doorstep.
Offshore: The offshore fishing has been a bit bumpy with the winds we have had recently. This being said, the fishing has been very good!
Rock and surf: The rock and surf scene has gone to summer mode. The fishing is picking up and the conditions are starting to settle enough that we can predict the better days.
Freshwater: The freshwater fishing has been good on all fronts with fish being caught in all facets.
