Big Summer Bites Incoming - KZN REPORT (30 OCTOBER '25)
KZN’s fishing scene has been electric this week despite the wild mix of rain, wind, and sunshine. Along the coastline, rock and surf anglers are reeling in a variety of edibles and early inedibles, with snoek, tuna, and kob keeping rods bent from the North Coast down to the South. Tugela, Mtunzini, and Durban’s beaches have delivered great results, while lure anglers continue to enjoy thrilling surface strikes from garrick and kingfish. Protected bays and gullies are also producing consistent action for those braving the weather. Offshore, the bite remains hot with couta, snoek, and tuna leading the charge across KZN. Live baits and fast-trolled lures in pinks and purples have been the winning combos, and anglers targeting deeper waters have found quality bottom fish rounding out their hauls.
In the Midlands, mist and rain haven’t stopped the action. Trout waters like the Bushman’s, Mooi, and uMngeni are producing solid fish for those braving the drizzle, while the Natal Fly Fishers Club has reported great catches on leech and dragonfly patterns. Bass at Albert Falls and Midmar are still biting, with the Horny Toad soft plastic proving deadly. With Sterkfontein season just around the corner, KZN anglers have plenty to look forward to — come rain or shine!
