Salt Mine Charters
Make an adventure out of your next trip in Cape Town and go fishing with Salt Mine Charters. With skipper Riaan Smith at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Snoek, Carp, Amberjack, Skipjack, Crayfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Geelbek (Cape Salmon), Javelin Grunter, Kob, Leerfish (Garrick), Long-Tail Red Snapper (Onaga), Squid, and whatever else takes the bait.
For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.
Children are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 22' Walkaround that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.
Skipper Riaan Smith has rods and reels for you, along with lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the skipper. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Salt Mine Charters is just a click away.
