Full Moon Brings The Fish - KZN REPORT (4 JUNE '26)

The KZN coastline has settled into a classic winter rhythm, with anglers enjoying steady action across all regions. Along the North Coast, rock and surf anglers are finding good numbers of shad and kob, particularly around structure and deeper access points during the spring tides, while garrick have become a familiar appearance throughout the week. Durban’s central coastline has been slightly inconsistent due to patches of dirty water, but anglers putting in the hours are still being rewarded with shad, stumpnose and grey sharks, with spinner sharks also becoming more active. Further South, fishing has been quieter overall, although Uvongo Pier continues to shine with catches on both live bait and lures, while grey sharks and rockcod remain active. Offshore, winter has switched the fishing into top gear with the North Coast leading the charge as snoek, couta and quality bottom species dominate catches. Durban has also produced excellent offshore action with solid snoek runs and nonstop bottom fishing, while the South Coast has rewarded patient anglers who timed the weather windows correctly with quality fish and exciting winter species moving in.
Freshwater anglers are also starting to feel winter settle properly across the KZN Midlands, although temperatures remain milder than expected ahead of the June 21 Winter Solstice. The trout rivers are now officially closed until September for spawning season, but yellowfish enthusiasts are enjoying productive sessions on clear moving water. Meanwhile, anglers travelling through the Midlands are urged to remain mindful of strict Foot and Mouth Disease biosecurity measures currently in place, including mandatory vehicle spray stations in the Kamberg and Giant’s Castle areas.
