Whether you’re new to fishing or looking to elevate your skills, our Fishing lessons offer a hands-on, in-depth approach to the sport. Covering everything from environmental conditions, bait collection and presentation, to rod and tackle setup and water reading. These sessions provide the knowledge you need to become a more confident angler. Tackle is provided, however anglers often choose to bring their own, so they can get ontop of any little problems they’ve been experiencing.

Where expert guidance meets unforgettable moments.

What is a Fishing Lesson?

Fishing Lessons are designed to teach the core fundamentals of fishing while expanding your understanding of advanced techniques. Matt will guide you through essential aspects including tides and wind direction to choosing the right bait, rod setup, and reading water conditions. You’ll also learn where to cast and how to interpret the water structure to increase your chances of a successful catch. These sessions are not just about catching fish—they’re about becoming a more intuitive and knowledgeable angler.

Who’s It For?

Our Fishing Lessons are perfect for individuals or pairs, making it an ideal choice for one-on-one attention or to share the experience with a friend or family member. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, you’ll receive personalized instruction tailored to your skill level and fishing goals.

Larger groups are welcome so reach out for special arrangements.

How does it work?

We understand everyone has different schedules and energy levels, so we’ve crafted our Fishing Lessons 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.

Full-Day trips: If you’re looking for a more immersive experience, our full-day lasts about ten hours, allowing you ample time to learn and fish.

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

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 learning and fishing, offering everything from rugged surf to tranquil estuaries.

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

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 are home to a variety of fish species, providing exciting catches in a tranquil setting.

These hidden gems 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 rock and surf 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 trip, 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.
