Wind Drops - Bite Is On - KZN REPORT (19 NOVEMBER '25)

Loading player...
With the wind finally easing along the KZN coast, fishing conditions are swinging firmly in anglers’ favour. Rock and surf action is sizzling, with Grey sharks, Shad, and bronze bream keeping the north coast lively, while Garrick, Bream, and Hammerheads are firing down south. Cleaner casts, calmer seas, and top-performing mackerel are making bait presentations sharper than ever. Offshore, Dorado, Couta, and Tuna are smashing baits, with floating debris holding quality fish for those chasing colour and chaos.
Inland, heavy Midlands rains from La Niña have swollen rivers and muddied waters, though stillwaters and dams continue to produce fish for those who get out there. Anglers are urged to stay weather-aware, gear up for wet conditions, and respect ongoing Foot and Mouth Disease closures. Despite the challenges, the season is heating up, and both coastal and inland anglers have plenty of action to look forward to.
