Loading player...
Monster fish, screaming reels, and unforgettable PBs — this week wasn't about quantity, it was all about quality. A surge of wild fishing action along the coastlines of KwaZulu-Natal brought high-fives, jaw-dropping catches, and the kind of adrenaline that makes us hungrier than ever for the next run. Welcome to another electrifying episode of Angler New South Africa — your ultimate weekly lowdown on all things fishing in KZN.
From the gray shark mayhem of the South Coast to the non-stop offshore chaos up north, and the freshwater triumphs closing off the river trout season — this episode has it all. We’re talking kingfish giants, elusive bronze bream, snoek runs, and the wait for the greatest show on earth — the sardine migration.
So grab your rod, check your tide chart, and hit play — because the fish are moving, the reels are spinning, and this… is just the tip of the iceberg.
