Snoek and Garrick go wild in KZN mayhem
It's pure fishing mayhem in KZN! Snoek are hitting like missiles, shad are in monster mode, and the Sardine Run brings chaos across the coast
This week, it's once again pure fishing mayhem across KwaZulu-Natal! The Sardine Run continues with shoals in abundance, and the snoek are hitting like heat-seeking missiles along the entire KZN coast, from Port Edward right up to Richards Bay. It's total chaos out there.
Anglers are reporting Garrick, GTs, kingfish, bronze bream, and even some kob and stumpies lighting up the beaches. The KZN South Coast is definitely the crown jewel right now, delivering non-stop action, while the North is a little quieter but still producing good results.
Offshore, it's the trifecta: tuna, couta, and snoek are keeping ski-boat anglers busy. And for our freshwater enthusiasts, don't feel left out - a massive 200 trout were landed in the Midlands stillwaters this past weekend, proving there's magic happening inland too.
It's carnage, it's bliss, and it's shaping up to be one of the best fishing weekends of the season. So, load up early, cast hard, and strike fast!
