Hi, I’m Matt — the guy you’ll find waist-deep in the surf. I’ve been fishing since I was a kid. With decades of hands-on experience spanning rock & surf, estuary, freshwater, offshore, and international trips, I bring unmatched passion and practical expertise to every outing.

Real local knowledge. Real experience. Real fishing.

I keep things simple and personal. We meet up, chat through conditions, and head out to the spots that are actually working — not the ones that look good on Google Maps. and I guide you through everything.

If you’re new to fishing, I’ve got you.
If you’ve been doing this for years, we’ll still find you something new.

Depending on season and conditions, we target:
Kob/Kabeljou, Steenbras, Galjoen, Stumpnose, Spotted Gully Sharks, Smooth Hounds, Elf/Shad, Leervis/Garrick, and more.

I take care of all the fishing gear and bait for the day — you don’t need to bring a thing unless you really want to. I only use top-quality bait, the same bait I trust for my own sessions, because good bait genuinely makes a difference out here.

I always encourage catch and release, especially with our key species, but if you land something that’s legal size and within your daily limit, you’re welcome to take it home.

All trips are shore-based and suitable for groups of up to 6 people.

Trip Options
Local Fishing Experiences - half and full day options available.
Off-the-Beaten-Track Adventures - Full-day missions into the quieter, untouched parts of the Overberg.

What to Bring - Comfortable layered clothing | Proper footwear for sand or rocks | Hat | sunglasses | sunblock | refreshments |snacks | fishing permit.

Everyone fishing needs a permit and you can get yours online or at the post office.

If you want a day that’s authentic, relaxed, and guided by someone who has learned this coastline through years of trial, error, early mornings, and late evenings — I’d love to take you out. Let’s go fishing!

Matthew was very helpful and communicated really well with us. Unfortunatly the weather did not cooperate with us, or we would have loved to fish with Matthew. We plan to come back and will most definitely go fishing with Mathew again!

Thanks Thys, a very memorable day, more for the tough conditions and the ground we covered than the fish we caught, but enjoyable nonetheless. Look forward to seeing you again.
