Kingfish and more off KZN this Kobtober
Kobtober is living up to its name along the KZN coastline, with a variety of species being caught so far this month, from Kingfish to Hammerheads.
The only question is: which stretch of the coastline will you cast your line?
In this week’s episode of Angler News SA podcast, the team dives into the best bait types and the importance of matching them to water conditions.
If casting off the surf isn’t for you, offshore anglers have been boasting catches of Garrick and bottom fish, while in the Midlands, the first Yellowfish are coming to net.
With the weather and water conditions promising a perfect weekend of fishing, listen to this episode to help you decide where to cast your line.
Rock and Surf: Inedibles are making their presence felt along the KZN coast. Kingfish have been abundant, with many taken on lures.
Freshwater: Recent rains have churned up the rivers, slowing action. However, in the dams, bass are still aggressively hitting topwater frogs, with the rain barely affecting the bite.
