Big Fish Ahead Of Sardines - KZN REPORT (25 JUNE '26)
Loading player...
Conditions remain similar to last week, with steady action and a good mix of species being landed along the coast. Baitfish are still plentiful, giving anglers plenty of opportunity with catches have been consistent despite the main sardine shoals not fully arriving yet. Kob, garrick, stumpnose, and pompano are all in the mix, keeping things interesting as anticipation builds. Staying mobile and adapting to changing conditions remains key. The 2026 sardine run is starting to show early signs, and while still building, it’s already creating excitement along the coastline.
Offshore fishing continues to perform well, with anglers making the most of favourable weather windows. Winter species are active, and catches remain strong across the region. Overall, winter conditions continue to deliver, with plenty of opportunity for well-prepared anglers.
On the freshwater front, winter conditions continue across the Midlands, with water temperatures dropping and fish becoming more active in stillwaters. Trout fishing remains steady with few larger specimens reported. Fish are starting to spawn, making them more selective.
Some bass activity has picked up at Midmar and Albert Falls, while Inanda Dam continues to produce quality fish, including a standout 11.11kg bag in competition.
Anglers are reminded that biosecurity measures remain critical in controlling Foot and Mouth Disease — compliance is essential when travelling through the Midlands.
