Cape Town offers some
of the finest Deep Sea Fishing in the world. The warm
Agulhas current of the Indian Ocean meets the cold Benguela
current of the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Point, the most
southern most tip of the Cape Peninsula. Fuelled by
seasonal upwelling along the west coast, this incredibly
productive system produces huge numbers of bait fish,
which in turn attract large numbers of pelagic as well
as coastal game fish.
Professional charter services with
experienced skippers and crew are available for big
game fishing, game fishing and pelagic birdwatching.
Deep Sea Fishing can be enjoyed all
year round in Cape Town with Yellowfin tuna usually
arriving in large numbers between March and June and
again from October to December. These fish can weigh
between 50 and 120kg and are found in the deep waters
so tuna fishing usually takes a full day. Other species
include Longfin tuna, Yellow Tail, Cape Salmon, Swordfish,
the odd Marlin and the occasional dorado.
Cape Snoek are available during the
winter months. This underrated game fish moves into
our waters in huge quantities during the months of May
to September. These fish are generally found at depths
of around 15-20 meters and are generally in the 5-7kg
class. This fishing is for everyone including complete
novices.
Cape Town waters are home to a number
of difference cetaceans such as common dolphins, dusky
dolphins, Southern Right Whales, Humpback whales, Bryde’s
whales and Killer Whales (Orca). Mako and blue sharks
are often encountered as well as Cape Fur seals and
coastal and pelagic seabirds including numerous species
of species.
