Fishing near Cape Town, Western Cape


Cape Town sits at the southwestern tip of South Africa where the Atlantic and Indian oceans converge, creating one of the country's most productive fishing environments. False Bay is a legendary inshore and offshore ground, while Hout Bay serves as a base for deep-sea charters targeting world-class Yellowfin Tuna. Freshwater anglers have access to dams, vleis and rivers within easy reach of the city, from carp-filled lowland waters to trout streams in the mountain catchments above Stellenbosch and Somerset West.
