Deep Sea Fishing: Tail and Yellowfin Action Offshore
The latest cold front brought more than just wind – it sparked some solid offshore fishing. Yellowtail were on the bite at the Point, and young yellowfin tuna were spotted again near the ammo dump around 34/35 and 18/25.
Robben Island waters produced some katonkel, and with ideal conditions expected in the coming days, there’s a good chance the tail action will continue. If the yellowfin hang around, expect some proper winter deep sea excitement.

Rock & Surf: Great Conditions for Baardman and Steenbras

Top spots: Strandfontein, Mnandi, Macassar, and the Strand area.
Top bait: Moonshine and Wonderworm.
For Galjoen chasers, head to reefy zones like the Cape Town reserve, Hangklip, Betties Bay and Gansbaai. If you’re up for a mission, try Struisbaai – ideal White Steenbras conditions are lining up.
