Fresh Fishing Reports from False Bay

Yellow tail fishing

March 20, 2025

Some good fishing from gordons bay

Great fishing at the moment

February 8, 2025

Between our various trips over the past weekend we caught Tuna offshore on our larger vessels. Aboard our smaller inshore vessels we had great success with young yellowfin Tuna(seasonal), and yellowtail. With our reef fishing we had red Roman and good catches of Cape Bream

A perfect day out at sea !

August 14, 2023

Another great day at sea with lots of yellowtail around!! Dolphins and whales were spotted along the journey and the conditions were perfect. One adventurous day for the books !

Reef fishing with the Louw family

December 22, 2020

This morning, we had the pleasure of hosting the Louw family for some light tackle reef fishing around the Atlantic seaboard. The two children had wonderful fun catching bronze bream and had a big sunfish come to swim by the boat. Unfortunately the young lady was a bit seasick, but the excitement made up for it. This is the perfect trip for the family to come and experience together

Karlo and family day

December 21, 2020

This morning the Kuhn family joined Captain Kevin and Frans for a morning of light tackle reef fishing and reported back, saying that the family had a wonderful experience for the children and caught plenty bronze bream(hottentot). The children had a blast with regular catches during the morning. Tonight, they will be enjoying a feast of fresh fish

Contact previously the captain. He will know if the weather is ok or not for your fishing. Some days in Capetown the wind is really strong, and the waves should be a problem. Cpt Peter called me 3 days in advance to suggest to change the date due the wind forecast. I did and don't regret.

Keep your dates flexible, allow a few days because the weather is less guaranteed in November. We had to wait for a calmer day to get out, so we allowed time and stayed flexible.

Let the captain cost the day to go out as the fishing can change on a daily basis. They know the waters so trust them :-)
