Depending on the day’s conditions, you'll use various techniques such as bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, popping, spearfishing, spinning, drift fishing, and handlining. Your journey will take you from the scenic Struisbaai harbor past the iconic South African headland, venturing into the rich fishing grounds where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge. Fish aboard a spacious 28’ Butt Cat boat, with ample room for up to 10 anglers. Amenities include a toilet, ice box, and fighting chair to ensure your comfort. All fishing gear and licenses are provided, so you can focus on the thrill of the catch. You'll also be assisted by a skilled deckhand, who will make your experience seamless and enjoyable. Gratuities for their hard work are always appreciated. Catch sharing with the crew is part of the trip, so make sure to discuss any preferences with the captain beforehand. Complimentary snacks and drinks are available, but you’re welcome to bring your favorites. Families are more than welcome – kids too!
