Margate has all the fish - KZN REPORT (24 Oct 24)

Angler News South Africa Podcast

The KZN South Coast area has been the destination of choice for rock and surf this past week as it seemed to have been the hotspot for anglers with the rest of the province reporting a mixed bag of results without any fireworks. While offshore fishing has been thriving with both pelagic and bottom species the freshwater action has been relatively quiet apart from Carp coming to net at Albert Falls. With the heavy rain this past week anglers along the coastline are rigged for the predicated Kob action and to take advantage of the past few days missed opportunities.
Offshore: Rough seas have made offshore fishing challenging, but those who've braved the conditions have managed to land some decent catches.
Rock and Surf: Garrick and brusher have been the primary targets, but it's important to remember that both species are under threat. Please consider catch-and-release to ensure their populations remain healthy.
Freshwater: Freshwater anglers have had a challenging week, with the bass catches being scarce and the trout playing hide & seek however they are confident about this weekend.
