South Africa

Welcome to the ultimate shore-based fishing adventures in South Africa!

South Africa has rapidly become a sought-after destination for surfcasters worldwide,
boasting the most advanced surfcasting opportunities. With over 2,200 saltwater inshore
fish species, our abundant fishery offers an unparalleled experience. One of the main
attractions is encountering massive sharks and stingrays. In fact, South Africa’s coastlines
are among the top three global hotspots for shark and ray diversity, hosting an impressive
204 species, with 69 being unique to our country.

The Area and Fishing Experience:

For first-time travellers to South Africa, Jeffreys Bay is the ultimate destination. Known
worldwide for its surfing, this safe coastal town is equally cherished by fishermen. Offering
versatility, J.Bay provides a wide variety of species, consistent results, and numerous
strikes, with counts ranging from 5 to possibly 20 in a day. Even under adverse fishing
conditions, J. Bay remains an exceptional fishing option. It has both beautiful big untamed
white sandy shores and unmatched deep rocky points!
Picture a day filled with chances catching various sharks and rays, ranging from 5kg to an
astonishing 200kg, all in one session. Spending a week with us guarantees memorable
encounters with 100kg – 200kg sharks per angler. We take pride in targeting and catching
big sharks and rays from shore!

Moreover, beyond the thrill of sharks and rays,  J.Bay boasts epic edible species like the world-famous Kob, Garrick, mussel cracker, and more. It’s a rare place where 80 lb+ Kob
are still caught, thanks to the abundance of healthy estuaries that provide an ideal
breeding zone.

The Season and Weather:

Sept to Nov and March to May with October to May being the peak season, where the
average temperature hovers around 25 degrees Celsius. Throughout this period, most species are active, creating an exciting fishing experience.
Mornings offer tranquil conditions with little to no wind and plenty of sunshine. As the
day progresses, winds typically pick up between 15km/hr to 35km/hr. Don’t worry; our expert team is well-equipped to handle the wind, and the area provides plenty of hidden spots for an enjoyable fishing adventure.
