The lower part of the KZN coastline has enjoyed some lovely weather over the past week with very little wind and flat seas. We can look forward to more of the same over the coming weeks with February traditionally the summer month with the least wind. Flat fish have moved into many spots and are beign caught regularly with a good amount of action around for the edible anglers too.

South Coast

Yet again Splash Rock on the lower South Coast has been fishing very well. A very impressive 25kgs Kingfish was landed recently by one the locals in the area. The Shad however have been rather scarce recently and those that have been caught along this stretch are on the smallish side but other reef and gully fish have made up for this in the area. Bronze Bream, Cave Bass and Blacktails have kept the guys busy.

Orange Rocks has produced a few Hammerhead and Grey Sharks in the late evenings.

The Port Shepstone area has been some what quiet with just a few reports of Stumpies being taken and a some shoal Kob along Sand Pits but not much action recorded at the Block. On the days when the river has been fishable some Rock Snapper have been caught.

Ifafa and Mtwalume is were plenty of action has been recorded over the past few weeks. It seems like a live Karanteen in these areas will certainly entice a Yellowfin Kingfish. A good number of Pompano in the 5kgs to 10kgs region have also been landed here.

Bazley through to Umdoni has shown similar results with some excellent fishing experienced by the locals here. Plenty of the mighty Kingfish are reported to have been landed in these areas. Scotties point has been producing Spinner and Grey Sharks and Brown Rays, with a few nice sized Bonefish. Blacktail and Karanteen  have also been feeding here.
