ANSA - KZN REPORT 03 FEB 23

Loading player...
We have made it through the first month of 2023 with very little drama and quite a lot of fish being caught. The year is looking good!Offshore:  With all the warm water, the fishing has been a bit slow. Luckily the pockets of colder water have held a lot of Couta which the skis have taken full advantage of.Rock and surf:  The summer heat has been vicious. The conditions have lined up beautifully for the flatfish and sharks which most rock and surf anglers took advantage of this past week. Freshwater:  The freshwater scene has seen a lot of good fish recently. The carp and bass fishing are going well for all the anglers involved while the trout fishing has dipped a bit, but still produces some surprise catches.
