1 Day Shore Based Fishing Package
About
While our preference is to provide a minimum of a 3-day experience, we recognize that many individuals may be constrained by time or budget. If you're new to professional shore-based fishing or simply crave a fantastic day of fishing accompanied by a seasoned expert, our one-day Rock and Surf Fishing Package in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa is the perfect fit for you.
Regardless of the weather, we almost always have the opportunity to catch something exciting. Our local guides, led by Duvan who is a native of Jeffreys Bay, are well-versed with all the tucked-away spots that can be explored even in rough weather conditions like high winds or tumultuous seas. However, we do request you to manage your expectations. Understandably, the diversity and quality of the catch may not match up to what can be achieved during a week-long expedition.
What we promise, though, is a committed, well-equipped, and eager-to-serve team that will make your day trip an unforgettable adventure. Whether we head to the beach, rock formations, river, or deep sea, we'll ensure we utilise your day to the fullest.

This is generally a great time to travel to SA. Weather patterns are generally very stable and offer a great variety of species. Even on the slower days there are small sharks that keep us occupied and on our toes.
Typically, the mornings provide very enjoyable weather conditions is very with little to no wind and good sunshine. Around midday, one should expect typical east winds to pick up that can blow up to 35km/ph. Do not worry though, we are geared for this and will go out of our way to make it as comfortable as possible – this is one the many advantages of utilising our services as we are the most prepared for all conditions.
When fishing with us, one can also expect to make use of the most advanced and qualified fishing guides who are well equipped and known for their talent in the area. We also are very well connected and generally we find out first when something is happening close by, and this gives us opportunity to capitalise on any action in the vicinity.
This seasonal period also boasts good catches of almost all non-edible species particularly the local ragged tooth sharks and good catches of the famous Bronze whaler sharks which are amongst the most desired catches in the Eastern Cape region and worldwide. They are known for their big fast runs often peeling couple 100ms off in one go and can be as big as 200kg! The stingrays are also in absolute full forces with great sessions of Diamond Sting rays, Blue rays, eagle rays, and of course the massive black rays.
The December period doesn’t offer the best edible fishing as there are plenty sharkies that eat the live baits intended for catches of kob and garrick. However, if the timing is right, one can make good catches of kob and Garrick using both our expertise of live bait fishing and lures paddle tails and bucktails.
