Just Fishing Durban runs angling trips out of Durban and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Mitchell will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and popping, all to get you on that bite. This involves 5 to 10-hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, Tuna, Wahoo, Marlin, Geelbek, and Bonito, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 30' Butt Cat vessel that can fit a maximum of 10 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please keep in mind you'll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Mitchell runs trips together with his first mate, who's there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Great Afternoon Out
5 Hour Trip – Harbour on July 4, 20262 adults1 child

We had a great afternoon fishing beyond the breakers and in the harbour. The crew (TK and Clint) were friendly, knowledgeable and took us to some great spots where we caught plenty of fish. I took my eight year old son with me and the crew were excellent with him - they put a lot of effort into making sure he caught fish and had fun.
