Loading player...
The fishing season on the east coast is off to an exciting start, with a variety of species being caught along the coastline with great catches including sailfish, dorado, snoek, and amberjack from the deep. Despite some recent weather challenges, fishing remains strong.
From the surf side we have reports of sand sharks and snoek, good catches of shad, Kob, and non-edible fish.
Freshwater fishing has been tough due to high temperatures and rain, but there have been some successful catches in rivers and Stillwater dams.
A major update: Blue Lagoon and the Umgeni Estuary are off-limits for fishing due to E. coli pollution, with authorities investigating. Other KZN areas continue to offer great fishing opportunities.
Overall, despite some challenges, the KZN coastline promises plenty of fishing action in 2025.
