The Big Fish Awakening in KwaZulu-Natal – Perfect Timing for a Fishing Weekend!
This episode of the ANSA KZN report our reporters deliver thrilling updates from the coastline and midlands, signaling the start of the exciting fishing season. With cooler temperatures and longer nights, fish like kob, grunter, and couta are making their moves, bending rods and bringing joy to anglers. From Durban’s bustling beaches to the South Coast’s unpredictable waters, anglers are eagerly preparing for what’s to come. Notable catches include monster kob, blacktip kings, and even some exciting offshore action with huge couta, snoek and dorado. Though the freshwater scene is slower due to rain and murky waters, there’s anticipation for better conditions as autumn sets in. The future is looking bright for anglers, and the big fish are just waking up!
