Discover the Overberg like never before with The Bearded Fisher Guided Fishing Tours.

Join Ruan, a local guide who knows the coastline, hidden spots, and conditions better than anyone. You’ll explore some of the Overberg’s most productive inshore areas — the kind of places only a local can take you.

Depending on the season and conditions, you could hook into Galjoen (South Africa’s national fish), Kob, Musselcracker, Steenbras, Gummy Shark, Geelbek (Cape Salmon), Shad, Leerfish (Garrick), Rays, Tailor, and more. All gear — rods, reels, and essentials — is provided.

While we encourage catch and release, any legally harvestable fish you choose to keep are yours to take home, so feel free to have a cooler ready in the car. Trips are shore-based and suitable for groups of up to 3 people. Some walking is required to reach the best spots, so dress comfortably for the weather and terrain.

Before your trip, Ruan will contact you with details on where to meet and what to expect. Please ensure everyone in your group has a valid recreational fishing permit — available at any Post Office.

Bring layered clothing, proper footwear, sunblock, sunglasses, and some water. Kids are welcome on these adventures too — just pack their snacks and extra clothing for the day.
