Winter is considered the best time of year for fishing on the KZN South Coast, when you can catch shad, garrick, kob, bronze bream, stumpnose, blacktail and sharks. This time of year is an angler’s dream, primarily because of the annual Sardine Run which takes place during the cooler months.
During this time, anglers get the chance to cast baits for massive sharks which swim very close to the shore break in search of sardines, as well as gamefish which also feast on the silver fish. Remember to pack strong fishing gear that is capable of handling these sharks and big gamefish. It’s also advisable to use visible lines so that you’re able to differentiate your line from others.
For summer fishing, you could land shad, bronze bream, pompano, brusher, stumpnose, stone bream, blacktail, cave bass, sharks or flatfish.
