    Great experience!

    South African fishing with dinner on October 26, 2024 • 1 adult

    We went to 2 different locations, the guide was knowledgeable and well prepared for the different style of fishing in the two rivers. We caught 5 fishes, lost one because of a line snap. I would recommend this tour.

    Awesome Street Fishing Trip!

    South African fishing with dinner on November 2, 2019 • 2 adults

    As an angler in Cape Town you have only one thing in mind: Big game fishing. But I have to speak of luck that I found Wayne's local tour! The street fishing tour with Wayne was one of the highlights of my trip to South Africa. Rarely have I had so much fun fishing. With Wayne you get in touch with the local anglers and learn what it means to be an street fishing angler in Cape Town. Wayne leads you to wonderful spots on an inconspicuous river that you would never find as a tourist. With a lot of heart and joy Wayne and his buddy make every effort to make the fishing trip an unforgettable experience. Besides fishing with different lures Wayne also spoils you with delicious local beer and early in the morning with delicious coffee. To protect me from the cold ocean wind he even set up a tent! Thanks to Wayne's expertise I was able to pull more than 6 catfish out of the river during my trip. An incomparable experience! Next time I will book it as an evening tour, as the catfish bite even better. If youre in Cape town for big game - try Wayne too! You wont be disappointed! Can warmly recommend Wayne!

    December fishing trip

    South African fish like a local on December 30, 2019 • 1 adult

    My last fishing of the year 2019 was in Capetown, South Africa and we, as a team, got some massive African Catfish ?? The line pulling force was much stronger than that of American Channel Catfish I caught in Japan? Thank you very much Wayne for arranging us a wonderful fishing tour ?✨

    Had a great day fishing for barbel and carp. Wayne used his local knowledge and experience to guide me through everything from setting up the rods, attaching bait, striking and reeling in the fish. Will definitely go again.

    Great trip with Wayne

    Special 5 hours trip for Moritz Häckel on February 26, 2026 • 4 adults

    Wayne and his team were great at communicating and organizing the fishing trip. Wayne was able to assist us with his knowledge of fishing and the local waters. He took care of everything so we only needed to show up and fish and not worry about anything. Their hospitality was outstanding and we could laugh a lot and had an amazing fishing trip. There was plenty of snacks and drinks provided by Wayne, and his wife took some really nice pictures of us in action. Overall I can only recommend booking a tour with Wayne if you want to have a good carefree time fishing in South Africa!

Born in Durban where I fished a lot in my younger years. While working on cruise liners as a waiter, I spent my off days, when we were in port, fishing for fun. I really grew to love fishing and have fished all over the world. When I was back home, I continued fishing and started doing ocean fishing before changing back to the river. I'm always experimenting with different baits and techniques.
