Garrick Season Has Arrived - KZN REPORT (11 JUNE '26)

Loading player...
The coastline is firmly in garrick mode, with baitfish thick in the surf and predators feeding throughout the day. Shad remain productive in certain areas, with good quality fish coming out, while kob numbers are steadily building — especially around tide changes and low-light periods.
On the rocks, spring tides have opened deeper ledges, producing rockcod, kob, and bronze bream. Water conditions have improved, resulting in more consistent fishing sessions.
The north coast is firing with regular kob, shad, and increasing garrick activity, especially at sunrise and sunset. The central coast remains patchy due to recent rough seas but still offers shad, grunter, and shark action. Further south, fishing is quieter but building nicely, with early signs pointing toward a strong winter and possible sardine run.
Bottom fishing is producing quality geelbek and daga salmon, while amberjack are keeping things exciting during full moon periods.
The north coast is particularly active, with snoek showing in good size and numbers, along with the odd couta. Durban continues to deliver steady snoek action, while down south requires careful weather timing, though fish are still being caught.

Cold conditions have settled over the Midlands, with snowfall in higher areas and dropping water temperatures improving stillwater fishing.
