Garrick Madness and Sunshine - KZN REPORT (14 AUGUST '25)

Loading player...
It’s another epic week of red-hot fishing action across the KZN coast! The fish haven’t stopped biting – we’re in a full-blown purple patch, with Garrick going wild from the South to the North Coast and everything in between.
The South Coast is on fire – this week’s inbox was flooded with catches, the bragging hasn’t stopped, and the grins are wider than a 12-foot surf rod. But that’s not all – from Durban beaches to Richards Bay, it’s been bent rods and screaming reels all week. Blue rays, kob, garrick, stumpies, shad, brusher, and even tuna – you name it, we’ve got it.
Perfect weather, perfect winds (finally!) mean the next 6-7 days are going to be phenomenal. Trust us, this is not the week to sit on the couch. The fish are here and they’re waiting
