  • Still fish to be caught - KZN REPORT (30 JAN '25)
    Jan 29 2025
    We’re diving headfirst into February, the hottest month of the year, and the fishing scene is bursting with action, both offshore and on the bass and yellowfish fronts.
    While the aftermath of the Madagascan cyclone has made rock and surf fishing challenging, as the saying goes, "fortune favours the brave." Those who persevered were rewarded, despite the rough shore break.
    News from the ski boats are dorado, tuna, and couta are thriving, especially along the KZN North Coast.
    The province’s central and South Coasts are also seeing consistent catches, ranging from big tuna to rockcod and various other species.
    Meanwhile shore angling has yielded reports of non-edible catches.
    Freshwater fishing has slowed, but trout remain deep, and bass are still being caught at Midmar and Albert Falls. The yellowfish in the Midlands are also making waves.
    Get ready for a thrilling month of fishing, but be sure to prep your gear for the best experience! Vinesh's website

  • All out summer action - KZN REPORT (23 Jan 25)
    Jan 23 2025
    It’s all about the exciting summer fishing action along the KZN coast. Our reporters have the latest scoop on species currently active in KZN waters, including dorado, shad, kob, kingfish, and yellowfish. They provide detailed fishing reports from their regions, with updates on the best spots to target, bait recommendations, and species to look out for.
    This past week the South Coast has been buzzing with non-edible catches like grey sharks, with some edible species like snoek and stumpies also being reported. The warm water has affected the bite, but some hope cooler conditions brings better fishing in the coming days. In Durban, grey sharks dominate, with a few grunters and kob being caught in less crowded areas.
    In freshwater, the Midlands has finally come to life after a few quiet weeks and there’s action on a few species but at selected dams. Meanwhile, the North Coast and offshore areas are seeing excellent Dorado action, along with tuna and sailfish sightings. Listen now as we give you the hottest feeding zones for this weekend!
