Rough Seas over – Fish On! KZN REPORT (02 OCTOBER '25)
After a weekend of rough seas, the coast is settling, and spring fishing is firing up across KwaZulu-Natal. From rock-and-surf action to freshwater adventures, anglers are finding plenty to keep their lines tight.
On the Saltwater front , the North Coast is alive with action — bloody and fleshy baits are producing sandies, honeycombs, grey sharks, and edibles. Central Coast anglers are enjoying strong basin action with blue rays and mixed species, while the South Coast delivers good garrick and kob on live bait. Offshore, calmer seas mean better surface action for garrick, tuna, and kingfish, plus deeper-water targets like geelbeck and daga salmon. Snoek remain unpredictable, but the reefs are offering steady bottom fishing.
As for the Freshwater, after recent rainfall, rivers in the Midlands are coming alive. The Mooi River is rewarding anglers with impressive browns, while stillwaters are waking up with bass and trout action. Albert Falls is showing improvement, and rivers like the Umkomaas, Umgeni, and Bushman’s are producing strong yellowfish runs. Early season conditions at Sterkfontein are promising, with hatches and hoppers bringing a buzz to the water.
With more stable weather ahead, it’s the perfect time to dust off your gear. Whether chasing trophies offshore or casting in the rivers, spring is setting the stage for some epic fishing and in this episode we share all the hotspots for this action.
