Cape Town Fishing - No Fish No pay
Wayne is a great guy and very caring for his guests. He organized a seamless fishing trip. Very friendly, offeren Snack, Drinks and a generous Braai. We fished with multiple rods for better chances. I caught 12 fish at a catch&release pond. The catfish fishing in the river was unsuccessful despite big efforts, as they were not biting that time. Wayne is also a licensed tour guide and personal driver and he showed me some cool places while we were on the road. Will definitely do another tour with him!

The energy was unmatched, and he truly made it feel like more than just a trip—it was an adventure! The highlight? We all caught fish. Captain Wayne went above and beyond to ensure it was a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a fun, well-organized, and downright amazing fishing trip, Captain Wayne is your guy. Highly recommend!
