South Coast bites above the rest - KZN REPORT (20 FEB '25)

--:--
The week delivered mixed results across KZN's fishing grounds, with the North Coast and Midlands experiencing notably quiet periods. In contrast, the South Coast and offshore waters produced exceptional results, yielding impressive catches of snoek, couta, dorado, and sailfish. Durban's fishing scene showed varying success, though the harbour has recovered well, offering crystal-clear waters and rewarding fishing opportunities.
The South Coast maintained its strong performance, with consistent catches of kingfish, grey sharks, sand sharks, and various other species. Adam Lyon recounts an action-packed week, highlighting productive spots where anglers using mackerel bait recorded memorable catches.
