Don't Miss The Weekend Bite - KZN REPORT (21 AUGUST '25)
This weekend is shaping up well for anglers along the KwaZulu-Natal coast, with both surf and offshore waters producing encouraging signs.
On the offshore front, the North Coast continues to deliver consistent couta around Cape Vidal, where sardine and mackerel baits remain reliable. Snoek are active near central river mouths, while tuna and dorado are responding offshore to skirted and high-speed lures. Further south, from Amanzimtoti to Aliwal Shoal, tuna are feeding strongly on slow-trolled live baits, with wahoo also showing in good numbers on fast-trolled presentations.
Along the shoreline, Durban’s beachfront has been alive with shad activity, with spoons keeping rods busy and bonus catches of stumpies and grunter adding variety. Northward, action has been patchier, though kob and shad have made an appearance, and bronze bream and stumpies are providing steady results around rocky ledges on prawn and chokka. Grey sharks are still around for those seeking something larger, while early signs of flatfish have been reported further up the coast. On the South Coast, sardine activity is drawing plenty of attention, with shad, garrick and brusher keeping anglers busy.
With improving conditions and a mix of species on the bite, prospects look strong for those heading to sea or to the surf this weekend.
