Fishing in Cape Town

Cape Town offers one of the world's most diverse and thrilling fishing experiences, set against the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. Anglers can target a remarkable variety of species, including Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, Snoek, Marlin, and Broadbill Swordfish, across both inshore and offshore waters. The region's rich marine ecosystem ensures year-round opportunities, with each season bringing its own unique catches.

Inshore fishing adventures take you close to the coast, where you can battle feisty Yellowtail and Snoek near rocky outcrops and kelp forests. For those seeking the ultimate challenge, offshore excursions venture into deeper waters, home to trophy-sized Yellowfin Tuna and the majestic Black Marlin during their annual migration. Whether you're a novice or seasoned angler, Cape Town's waters promise unforgettable action.

Cape Town Fishing Charters, operated by experienced skippers like Steve Potter, provide top-quality boats equipped with state-of-the-art technology and the finest Shimano gear.

With a strong emphasis on safety, comfort, and local expertise, these charters deliver exceptional success rates and breathtaking views of the coastline.

From the vibrant waters of Hout Bay to the historic grounds near Robben Island, every trip combines world-class fishing with unparalleled natural beauty. Discover why Cape Town is a globally renowned destination for anglers seeking adventure, quality, and the thrill of the catch.

Cape Town Fishing Seasons

January

The weather is warm and fine, and Yellowtail is biting prime time. Big schools of these feed near the coast, so head there. Kob and Geelbek also galore, while the likes of Yellowfin and Longfin Tuna are solid.  

February

Cape Town fishing is on fire. Kob, Geelbek and Yellowtail still bite as crazy, with an occasional Mahi Mahi, or Yellowfin Tuna. Set your hopes high - Black Marlin might be around!

March

Showtime! Yellowfin Tuna are in abundance, so head offshore. Longfin Tuna are also a common sight this time. Yellowtail, Kob and Geelbek bite with same fervor as before, so a lot of fine inshore angling. 

April

Temperature is going down, but it’s still warm and sunny. The sea is brimful of Yellowfin Tuna, Longfin Tuna, Geelbek and Kob. Yellowtail is also around, so sharpen your rod! Snoek is subdued still. 

May

The big ones are still around offshore. For maximum amazement, try fly fishing for Yellowfin Tuna. Near the coast, Snoek and Yellowtail put up a good fight. In rivers, hefty Trout prepare for winter months, so head up. 

June

Winter has come, and Cape Town fishing season is in the blue. Snoek now reign the salty inshore, so you can go for it. Still, plenty of fun on rivers and dams - try fly fishing for Salmon and Trout.

July

July is dark and full of Snoek. With only 5 hours of sun on the average, July saltwater fishing is depleted compared to its summer heydays. If you’re feeling like inshore fishing, then sure come and visit. Else, head out to rivers and dams. 

August

The wettest month of the year offers Snoek, and seldom Yellowtail. You can always test your luck and fill your bags with a fish or two, but don’t expect supreme catch. Rivers and dams offer Rainbow and Brown Trout.

September

The heat is slowly rising. Snoek and Yellowtail are still a fair sight. In rivers, look out for Trout - some of them might literally rattle as they are pulled up from water from all the snails they eat. 

October

As the sea offer rebounds, major action is taking place everywhere. Still, Cape Town’s drawcard is strong Yellowfin Tuna that swim offshore. As you head there, you can see the likes of Yellowtail, Geelbek and Kob.  

November

November brings warmer sea, which means Cape Town fishing is about to get hot. Catch Yellowtail and Geelbek. You can go after Kob standing surf fishing style. Out in the open, Yellowfin and Longfin await.

December

Cape Town waters get replenished. Priority number one should be Yellowfin Tuna. Other items on the menu include Yellowtail, Kob and Geelbek.
