Summer conditions have settled in, and the coastal fishing is looking solid. The North Coast continues to produce good catches of couta, dorado, tuna, and sailfish, with live bait leading the way and lures doing well when bait is scarce. Rock-and-surf anglers are finding steady action from sandies, honeycombs, and greys, with edibles also starting to show more interest in prawn, sealice, and chokka baits. Further south, live baits are proving effective for garrick, kob, and snoek, while the reefs are still turning out healthy rockcod, daga, and geelbek. The seas are beginning to settle, and conditions look promising for another productive weekend on the water.

Recent rains have revived the rivers, with the Bushman’s and Umngeni showing improvement while the Mooi remains slightly coloured. Stillwaters are producing good fish, bass activity is mixed, and Midmar continues to perform well. As summer settles in, inland fishing is picking up — a great time for a relaxed session on the water. Vinesh's website
