Deep Sea Fishing Cape Town |

January 5th, 2010

Author: Afton

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.

Two Oceans Sport Fishing Charters:

They currently hold the record for the largest yellowfin tuna taken on fly- weighing in at 76kgs. They are affiliated to Cape Town Tourism and captain Dave Christie is IGFA certified and a qualified marine biologist.

Their boat, Obsession, is a cutom built 30 foot catamaran sport fisher, powered by twin 200 Hp four stroke outboards and capable of doing 40 knots under calm conditions. Obsession is very well equipped with top quality Penn International and Shimano tackle and has an enclosed onboard loo.

Obsession undergoes an annual safety survey by the South Africa Maritime Safety Authority and carries all safety equipment onboard at all times, she is licenced to carry 12 passengers. Radio contact is maintained with coastal radio stations throughout the day, providing a safe and enjoyable charter. A light lunch and refreshments are included.

Deep sea fishing |

Techniques
Although there are a large number of techniques that can be used for deep sea fishing, two of them are the most popular and also the most widely used. These are:

1. Trolling – In trolling the boat speed is kept at a constant six knots and the lure or the bait is drawn on a line through the water slightly below the surface. These lures often resemble squids or other bait fish.
2. Bottom fishing – In bottom fishing the boat is anchored in deep water and the lures are dropped to the bottom of the sea with the help of hooks. The only thing to do now is to wait for the fish to bite.

Family-Owned Fishing Charter

Some other techniques used in deep sea fishing are seining, long lining and netting. If you are planning to go deep sea fishing, it is unlikely you would have the perfect equipment for it. A good idea would be to use a fishing charter. Darwin Reef ‘n’ Wrecks are a family-owned Darwin fishing charter company located in the top end of Australia. On their Top End fishing charters, you can do Barramundi fishing , deep sea fishing or reef fishing. Fish the Darwin Harbour or the outer reefs up to 100m offshore with Darwin Reef ‘n’ Wrecks fishing charters.
