After a rough patch with heavy seas and winds, KZN fishing is back in full swing! Rock and surf, offshore, and freshwater anglers are all reporting success. Tinley Manor, Tugela, and St Lucia are hot spots for bream, grey sharks, and a variety of game fish. The Albert Falls Bass Classic and recent river season openings have also been promising for trout and bass.

Our team of experts, including Jan, Mike V, Brad, Ray, Don, and Adam, have been out there gathering insights. Despite some challenges, the overall outlook for KZN for the next week is bright, with improving conditions expected for the days ahead.
