Guaranteed Weekend Bite - KZN REPORT (06 NOVEMBER '25)

Shore-based fishing has been sizzling along the KZN coastline, with anglers of all levels enjoying nonstop action and impressive catches. From grey sharks and honeycomb rays on the north coast to shad and bronze bream in the rocky gullies, it’s been a rewarding time to fish. While most of the excitement has been outside Durban, the harbours and bays have also delivered steady results, particularly for those using light circle hooks. Down south, Margate Pier continues to produce Garrick, Bream, and Hammerheads—proof that both grounded and floating baits are working wonders. Offshore anglers have battled some tricky weather but still found success as fish settled into their summer feeding patterns. The north coast has been the hotspot for ski-boat and live-bait action, while Durban’s tuna bite has been on fire for those trolling skirted lures. Bottom fishing remains steady along the south coast, with quality geelbek and daga catches coming in. Inland, the rivers and stillwaters are coming alive after scattered rainfall, with the Bushman’s and uMngeni Rivers both producing strong fly-fishing results. With good fish at Midmar and Sterkfontein firing for yellowfish, it’s clear that summer fishing is in full swing across KZN! Vinesh's website
