This is Artificial Lure with your Cape Town fishing wrap-up. A light winter north-westerly pushed through the Peninsula today, with a cool, partly cloudy pattern and small to moderate swell on both coasts. The south-easter stayed away, so the water stayed fishable most of the day. Sunrise was around twenty to seven this morning, with sunset just after half past five, giving a short but productive window, especially around the tide changes. According to local tide tables, the push of the incoming tide through mid‑morning and again late afternoon lined up nicely with the better bites, particularly on the False Bay side. Anglers who timed those turns did much better than those fishing the dead middle of the tide. Inside False Bay, Strand and Macassar produced decent winter fishing. There were steady picks of small to mid‑size steenbras, plenty of sandies, and the odd kob coming out after dark. Most kob were schoolies, with the better fish in the 6–10 kg class coming to patient anglers fishing the deeper gutters. Chokka and sardine combo baits, or fresh mackerel head, outfished plain sardine. A simple running sinker trace with a 6/0 circle hook was the go‑to. At Macassar and Broken Road, the sandsharks kept rods busy, but a few blue rays and a surprise bronzie pup showed there’s still life in the bay. Those fish all came on fresh mullet and mackerel fillets. If you’re scratch‑fishing there, prawn and bloodworm still turn up blacktail, stumpnose and the odd galjoen close in on the bricks. Along the Atlantic seaboard, the water cleaned up nicely around Oudekraal and Bakoven. Rock and surf guys found a mix of hottentot and Roman on redbait and mussel, with some solid galjoen tight in the white water. Redbait pockets in the foamy gullies were the ticket. Lighter traces and 2/0–3/0 hooks got more bites than heavy gear. Boat and kayak anglers launching out of Millers Point into False Bay reported fair yellowtail activity deeper off Cape Point, but the fish were scattered. Slow‑trolled deep‑diving plugs in green/white or blue/white, and small skirted lures, picked up most of the fish. A few tail also took vertical jigs worked mid‑water when birds showed brief activity. No big hauls, but enough to keep the crew smiling. For lure anglers from the shore, the warmer parts of the day with a bit of colour in the water were best. Small paddletails and curly‑tail grubs in natural baitfish colours produced shad and small kob around Gordons Bay Harbour and the Strand reefs once the wind dropped. Work them slow and close to the bottom. Hot spots to focus on in this pattern: - Strand–Melkbaai: look for the deeper gutters on the pushing tide for kob and steenbras. - Macassar area: great if you’re happy to sift through sandsharks for that better kob bite after dark. - Oudekraal and the smaller Atlantic bays: prime for galjoen and hottentot when there’s some white water. - Millers Point to Cape Point: best bet for yellowtail if you can get offshore with suitable safety gear. Best baits right now: fresh chokka, sardine, mackerel, redbait, and prawn. Best lures: paddletails and jerkbaits in natural hues in the bay; deep‑diving plugs and small skirts offshore.
