Cold Front Fires Fishing - - KZN REPORT (29 JULY '26)

Loading player...
The North Coast has been the standout this week, with excellent catches of kob, garrick and shad from the shore, while offshore anglers have enjoyed productive sessions on garrick and kob using live bait. Along the Central Coast, shad, grey sharks and grunter have kept anglers busy, while offshore catches of snoek, kob and geelbek continue to impress. Further south, the scent of the Sardine Run is still influencing fishing conditions, with garrick, shad and sharks featuring regularly in shore-based catches, while Aliwal Shoal and the deeper reefs are producing tuna, kingfish and rockcod. With baitfish moving along the coastline and predator activity remaining high, anglers who stay mobile and adapt to conditions are enjoying some of the best winter fishing of the season.
Freshwater:
A recent cold front has brought cooler conditions to the Midlands, with the possibility of snowfall in the higher Berg expected to benefit rivers and stillwaters. Trout anglers continue to report steady catches, including fish over 50cm, with Woolly Buggers and damselfly nymphs proving effective. Midmar is producing fish, while Inanda Dam is reportedly fishing exceptionally well as water temperatures rise. Anglers are reminded that Foot and Mouth Disease biosecurity measures remain in place throughout the Midlands and should be strictly observed.
