Hout Bay is still a working harbour and a well known fishing village. There are many different boat trips and water sports to suit all tastes and experience levels.
A day out in the deep will long be remembered as it brings you into contact not only with one of the worlds toughest fighting fish but also into a diverse ecosystem. Out in the warm water currents, you will get the opportunity to see numerous species of Albatross, Killer Whales (Orca) and Dusky Dolphins.
The Cape Peninsula has some of the richest tuna grounds in the world today. The yellowfin tuna found in the Cape waters often top the scales at 80 kgs plus and Longfin catches of 20 kgs plus. The Tuna season runs from September to June, with the best times being at the beginning and end of the season. Cape yellowtail is a formidable fighter and can be found around the infamous Cape Point, which offers visitors the opportunity to see this landmark from a whole new angle. Snoek is the only fish that are available during the winter months. This underrated game fish moves into our waters in huge quantities during the months of May to September. They are generally found at depths of around 15-20 meters and they provide the keen fly-fisherman with a worthy challenge on the fly. The fish are generally in the 5-7 kg class. This fishing is for everyone including complete novices.
Other species that are targeted off the peninsula coastline are: Blue sharks, dorado and mako sharks. Daiwa stand up rods with both Penn International and Shimano reels are supplied for conventional fishing.
Hooked on Africa Fishing Charters will take you Deep sea tuna fishing, in-shore light tackle & fly-fishing, crayfish charters, pleasure cruises & bird watching.
