New Season, New Targets - KZN REPORT (11 SEPTEMBER '25)

Loading player...

KwaZulu-Natal’s coastline is alive as spring battles winter in a weekend promising some of the season’s hottest fishing. From kob smashing paddle-tails on the north coast to explosive Garrick and Kob action down south, anglers are spoilt for choice. Offshore, geelbeck, daga salmon, and snoek are testing gear and nerves, while reefs deliver nonstop bites from slinger and rockcod. Inland, Natal Fly Fishers Club members celebrated the river season’s opening with steady catches on the Bushmans, while Midmar Dam produced bass in the 1–2kg class. With summer knocking, this is the weekend anglers have been waiting for—rods bending, reels screaming, and the ocean in full beast mode.
