Chasing The Summer Tide - KZN REPORT (18 DECEMBER '25)

Loading player...
Coastal anglers are in the middle of an all-out feeding frenzy along the KZN coastline. Rock and surf action is firing from north to south with a mixed bag of species. Durban anglers are finding solid rewards after pushing through recent rough conditions, with the harbour still producing well for those who can navigate the crowds. Further south, Margate Pier continues to deliver high-energy sessions, and with calmer seas forecast, conditions are shaping up for clean casts, smoother water and fish that are fully switched on. Offshore, the coast is buzzing with one of the strongest dorado runs of the season. From ski-boats to larger craft, anglers are reporting screaming reels and bent rods, with dorado leading the charge alongside strong tuna and couta action.
Inland, the Midlands is experiencing classic summer weather chaos, with rapid swings between heavy rain and intense heat shaping freshwater conditions. Recent rainfall has pushed river levels up, with upper reaches flowing clear but fast, and lower sections running dirty. Sterkfontein remains a standout for fly anglers.
This weekend is lining up crisp casts, smoother seas, and fish that are absolutely switched on and looking for trouble.
