The Big KZN Spring Bite - KZN REPORT (04 SEPTEMBER '25)

Loading player...
September is here, spring has kicked in, and the river season is wide open. The bite is electric across the coast and inland—bass, Garrick, bronze bream, shad, grunter, and even dorado are making headlines.
From Durban to the North Coast, South Coast to the Midlands, and all the way to Albert Falls, our reporters have confirmed it’s firing everywhere. From snoek and soldier bream offshore to grunters, rays, and bronze bream inshore—every spot is producing.
Plus, we’re thrilled to welcome vibrant new voices to our team like Mikayla Daniels , who is absolutely crushing it with their on-the-ground reports and fish-by-fish coverage of what’s biting, where, and how.
And let’s not forget freshwater—trout rivers are open, bass are bouncing back, and Albert Falls is seeing some serious action with over 390 bass weighed in at the latest comp!
Check out our new podcast: The Cast – short, sharp, and full of that "moment before the cast" feeling.
