Loading player...
The latest Angler News report kicks off with excitement about the return of Garrick and shad, signaling the start of the autumn fishing season. Several fish species are being caught across various regions, including shad, garrick, kob, kingfish, pompano, snoek, and even a rare angel shark in KZN. The report is based on the ongoing success of fishing, especially on the beaches and from ski boats, where snoek, rock cod, and couta are abundant.
The freshwater scene has seen some challenges due to heavy rainfall, with rivers swelling and making fishing difficult. However, reports from Underberg indicate rivers are starting to settle. Bass fishing is also featured. The North Coast has been producing some great catches, with pompano, kob, and sand sharks being reported, while the South Coast has had a few Garrick, bream, and sharks, including smooth nose and flat nose species.
With the weekend looking promising for fishing, whether on the coast, in freshwater, or offshore, anglers are excited for an action-packed weekend.
