Where expert guidance meets unforgettable moments

What is a Local Fishing Experience?

Our Local Fishing Experiences are all about sharing the joy of fishing, without the pressure of formal guidance. Led by Matt, an experienced local angler, you’ll have access to prime fishing. This experience gives you the freedom to fish your way—on your own terms, with some support, if needed.

Who is it for?

These trips are perfect for anyone looking to spend a relaxing day by the water. Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a couple seeking a unique experience, or looking to spend some time with family or friends, this trip is for you. Our Local Fishing Experiences are open to all and are fully customisable.

How does it work?

We understand everyone has different schedules and energy levels, so we’ve crafted our Local Fishing Experiences to fit yours.

Half-Day trips: Perfect for those short on time, our half-day option allows you to join us for about five hours, whether in the morning or afternoon. It’s a wonderful opportunity to escape into nature and enjoy a few peaceful hours of fishing.

Full-Day trips: If you’re looking for a more immersive experience, our full-day adventure lasts about ten hours. You’ll spend the day at a stunning location, allowing you ample time to appreciate hours of fishing.

Prepare for a day filled with excitement, laughter, and the joy of fishing in the breathtaking waters of Hermanus’ beaches and estuaries!

While we can’t promise you’ll catch a fish to take home, we can promise you’ll have a great time out on the water. We promote catch and release because we respect our ecosystems, so even if you don’t take home dinner, you’ll leave with awesome memories and stories to share!

The beaches and lagoons of Hermanus create the perfect backdrop for a memorable day of fishing, offering everything from rugged surf to tranquil estuaries.

We’ll guide you to the best spots, where you can experience the thrill of catching local fish amid beautiful views and peaceful surroundings.

While we like to keep our exact spots a bit of a secret, here’s what you can expect:

Surf & Rock Fishing:

The Overstrand coast features rocky outcrops and sandy stretches, perfect for chasing larger species that roam these waters.

Estuary Fishing:

If you prefer a calmer, more meditative experience, our estuaries in and around Hermanus are home to a variety of species, providing exciting catches in a tranquil setting.

These prime locations will give you a chance to fish in some of the most beautiful locations in the region.

Whether you’re choosing between an estuary or surf and rock fishing, Matt will liaise with you to select the best spot taking onto account the weather and season to ensure you have the best experience.

Tackle:

We want to ensure you have the right equipment for your trip and chosen location.

For the Estuaries you will need light tackle allowing for a more finesse approach.

For Surf and Rock fishing we suggest you have heavier rods and tackle to handle the stronger currents and bigger fish.

You can bring your own gear, use ours, or mix and match—bring what you have, and we’ll provide what you don’t.

If you’re unsure about what you need, Matt is here to help you find the right setup for your chosen experience.

Bait:

We supply all the appropriate bait for your fishing experience, but you’re also welcome to bring your own, if you’d like!

✔️ Wind-resistant jacket for changing weather conditions

✔️ Valid fishing license (Let us know if you dont have one and we’ll help you get one)

✔️ ID document

✔️ Sunscreen and hat

✔️Comfortable shoes for walking across sand or rocky terrain

Staying hydrated is as important to us as it is to you so, we provide a selection of  non-alcoholic refreshments for the trip.

When it come to food:

Option 1 – Bring Your Own : Pack a cooler with what you love eat and snack on. You’re welcome to bring along extra ‘drinks’ too!

Option2 – We Provide: If you’d rather not worry about food prep, we can arrange this for you.
