Still fish to be caught - KZN REPORT (30 JAN '25)
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!
