The Coastal Bite Won’t Die - KZN REPORT (17 July '25)

Loading player...
We’re deep in the bite window that refuses to close. With four straight weeks of nonstop action and this weekend is shaping up to be downright explosive. From Margate to Richards Bay, it’s coastal carnage: shad blitzing the shoreline, tuna boiling offshore, and Garrick snapping lines like toothpicks.

From ski boats to piers, the action is wild — and it's not just the fish going mad. We're talking heavyweight gear-testing psychopaths in camo and sardines that just won’t quit. Don’t wait for Monday regrets. Set your alarm, load the cooler, sharpen your hooks. This is the weekend to make memories, fill hatches, and post that grip-n-grin.
