Black Friday Bite Buzz - KZN REPORT (27 NOVEMBER '25)

Fishing has been firing along the KZN coastline. The lower north coast is producing grey sharks, honeycomb rays, and various skates, while bronze bream are feeding well in the rocky gullies. Durban harbour is delivering quality fish for those keeping clear of the Wala Wala, and Margate Pier is seeing Garrick, Bream, and the odd Hammerhead. Offshore, Umhlanga is alive with Dorado smashing pink and purple lures, while Durban waters are holding Geelbeck and Tuna. Down south, high-speed trolling is producing strong Tuna, with Dorado and bottom fish like rockcod still coming out consistently.

Recent rains have dams filling fast, with Mearns and Wagondrift already overflowing and Midmar and Alberts not far behind. Rivers are producing good brown trout and the Mooi and uMngeni systems are giving steady results.. As water temperatures rise, fish are holding deeper along weedbeds. Bass anglers are finding steady catches at Midmar, strong results in private dams, and excellent yellowfish action continues at Sterkfontein. Vinesh's website
