26-11 South Africa Mosselbay

Shore and boat fishing XXL

Mossel Bay in South Africa's Eden district is home to this spectacular fishing trip. Mossel Bay has a rich maritime history and was founded in 1488 by Bartholomew Diaz. One of the few north-facing towns in the country, it has a temperate climate that has been compared to Hawaii (not in terms of actual temperatures, but in terms of the slight fluctuations of the average per year) and a wide range of activities at sea and on land. Most important is the great fishing in the temperate Indian Ocean bay from which the town takes its name.

We have scheduled 4 days of shore and rock fishing as well as 2 days of boat fishing. The main species in and around Mossel Bay are large sharks like sand tiger shark, copper shark, hammerhead shark, mako, thresher shark, smooth shark and more, as well as rays like black rays, eagle ray, diamond ray, blue rays and marble rays and more. Species caught from the boat include species like umberfish, white and black bream, leatherfish, yellowtail, yellowbelly, grunter, galleon and more.

All this makes it clear that fishing is done both from the shore and from the boat. Fishing from the shore is usually done with 3 to 4 rods on the big(ger) sharks and while you wait, you can cast from the shore with lures to try to catch one of the more than 370 species of fish found in this area.

Fishing from the boat is done on the local reefs in the area with a maximum depth of 60 to 80 metres. We get good results with both jigging and live-bait fishing. You fish with the one and only Shawn Mey or one of his dedicated guides. They will take you to the best spots in the area and will do everything possible to get you to catch your dream fish.
