Hey. Umngazi is my facorite place in the world. What are you looking to target and then I can help you further. Some tips are fish the gully its a spot about 300m past the mouth. In the river if its open try some dropshot and some bait. Also do the hike to Umgazana and fish that system its realy great. For more advise let me know what fishing you wanna do then I can hopefully help you more.

Thanks stuart

Id love to catch a shark and would also like to catch a cob or 2

Ok try Brazenhead or Poenskop for a shark or a cob. If you cross the lagoon and walk about 1km right to flat rock just past the rocks there is a hole for cob. Get a Gillie they know know the area well

I'm also going to that neck of the woods in a months time (end of september). I really want to fish the Umgazana estuary as I'll be staying there. What spots on the river should I be fishing in? I'll be targeting kob and rock salmon.

At the mouth at umgazana there used to be a bit of a bay in the mouth that used to be sheltered try put a small bait there. Also to the right of the mouth there is a big rocky point thing that used to be quite deep try there for a kob.
