Artificial Lure here with your Cape Town fishing rundown for this evening session. We’re sitting on a **waxing gibbous** moon with springier tides building. Around the peninsula, the afternoon high peaked earlier, with the **evening ebb** now pushing good water off the reefs and into the sandy gutters. On the False Bay side, the dropping tide into late evening is lining up nicely for shore anglers working the banks and points. According to WindGuru and local forecasts, we’ve had a **moderate south‑easter easing off**, leaving seas around **1.5–2 m** on the Atlantic, a bit gentler in False Bay. Skies have been partly cloudy with a cool, stable barometer – classic winter conditions that usually wake up the toothy critters and the reef fish. Sunrise today was just after **7 am**, and sunset just before **5:45 pm**, so it’s full-on night bite now, with the best window running the two hours either side of the tide change. Water temps are sitting in the **14–16°C** band on the Atlantic side and slightly warmer inside False Bay – enough chill to keep the **yellowtail** slower but to fire up **kob, hottentot, galjoen and stumpnose** close inshore. Local WhatsApp groups and tackle shops around Paarden Eiland and Fish Hoek report recent catches of decent **kob** off the surf, good numbers of **hottentot and Roman** on the reefs, plus a few winter **galjoen** coming out when the water went milky-green with a bit of foam. Boat and kayak crews working off **Cape Point and Bellows** earlier in the week found pockets of **yellowtail** on the troll and spin, with a couple of **bonnies** in the mix when the birds started dipping. Closer to town, reef boats off **Robben Island and Melkbos** picked up mixed bags of **hottentot, Roman and snoek**, especially on the morning bite when the current dragged nicely. If you’re fishing shore tonight: - On the Atlantic side, focus on **white mussel, red bait and chokka combos** for galjoen, stumpnose and kob. - In False Bay, **pilchard and chokka wraps**, or live mullet where legal and available, are turning better kob after dark. Lure anglers, keep it simple: - For kob in False Bay, work **paddle‑tail soft plastics** in natural mullet or pearl on a 1/2–1 oz jighead, slow-rolling just off the bottom in the channels. - For yellowtail around the Point on the next weather gap, have **metal spoons (40–60 g), small stickbaits and plugs** ready; fast cranks on the edges of surface activity still doing damage when the fish push up. Couple of hot spots to keep on your radar: - **Strandfontein to Macassar**: classic evening and night kob water on the pushing and early dropping tide, especially where the banks have formed those deeper, darker gutters. - **Muizenberg to Sunrise Beach**: scratching for smaller kob and elf, with the odd better fish after dark when the crowd thins. - **Cape Point – Rooikrantz area**: for the next calm window, yellowtail off the bricks for the brave and prepared, with chokka and spoons both in play. - **Melkbos reefs**: solid winter reef fishing from boat or kayak – hottentot, Roman, and the odd snoek when birds show. As always, check local regulations, size and bag limits, and keep only what you need. Conditions are lining up for a solid winter bite, so rig fresh, fish slow, and let the water tell you the story.
