South Coast carnage plus Sardine Run latest - KZN REPORT (22 May '25)

--:--
What an epic explosion of fish and frenzy across the KZN coastline and beyond
In this week’s episode of Angler News SA, Vinesh can barely contain the excitement. The sardines are on their way (yes, the run is coming!), and Jace Govender breaks down exactly what to expect for Sardine Run 2025.
From spinner sharks in Durban, to snoek on the backline, to deep-sea amberjacks and Marlin snapping rods, it’s been a fishing frenzy across every discipline—rock & surf, ski-boat, kayak, and even freshwater. We’ve got the whole crew reporting in: Mike V, Brad, Ray, Y, Adam, and more.
North Coast? On fire.
South Coast? Exploding with edibles and non-eds.
Freshwater? Trout season finale is delivering serenity and solid catches.
Whether you fish salt, fresh, kayak, or cast from shore — the fish are here, the action is wild, and the stoke is real.

Cover Angler: Luke Whittle with the catch of the week being a massive mussel cracker.
