KZN's unstoppable anglers
Challenging weather hasn’t stopped KZN anglers from landing tuna, dorado, bream, shad, kob, and other species along the coast, with hopes high for clearer conditions ahead.
Weather conditions around KZN this week have been challenging. However, some anglers have had rods bending with bream, brusher, shad, Kob, and non-edible species catches.
While offshore fishing has seen rewards, freshwater fishing continues to produce strong results.
Reports from various coastal areas like the South Coast, Durban, and North Coast reveal varied catches including Sand sharks, grey sharks, and bronze bream.
Spearfishing and rock and surf fishing also faced challenges, but fingers are crossed for better conditions ahead.
