Offshore mayhem is on fire

Post

May 21, 2025

IF BENT rods, drag-peeling runs and salty air in your face get your heart racing — strap in. The offshore scene is lit right now.

It’s a full-throttle frenzy out there: gamefish are smashing bait, bottom dwellers are stacked, and every drop feels like a ticking time bomb.

The bite is savage. The stoke is real. The ocean’s in beast mode.

Don’t let the chilly starts fool you — the summer fish haven't checked out. They’re still on the chew, and the action’s too hot to miss. The cooler temps might tempt you to stay tucked in, but trust us — this bite’s worth every early alarm and frosty breath.

Shake off the duvet, grab your gear and chase the thrill while it’s firing!

UKFC Festival Madness

This past weekend saw over 190 anglers clash in the UKFC Festival — and they did not hold back. We're talking heaps of couta stacked high and reels burning non-stop.

Massive congrats to Joss Morgan, who won the comp on just his third-ever launch. That’s not luck — that’s pure, unfiltered chaos turned skill.

North Coast mayhem - Umdloti is going off

Umdloti is a war zone of couta. Fishing ski missions at first light are producing straight-up carnage.
