Fishing near Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal


Richards Bay sits on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast, where a large sheltered harbour meets the warm Indian Ocean. The area has a reputation for being challenging to read, but rewards patient anglers with trophy-sized fish. Inshore and harbour fishing, estuarine angling in channels like the Mzingazi Canal, and offshore runs to deeper water all form part of the local scene.
