This is Artificial Lure with your Cape Town fishing report. A fresh south‑easter pushed through this evening, keeping things cool around the Peninsula with temps in the mid‑teens. Skies have been mostly clear with that typical Cape Town winter bite in the air. Wind has been strongest around the open Atlantic side – Blouberg, Melkbos, Kommetjie – and a bit more sheltered in False Bay. Around the harbour, the tide this evening has been running off a late afternoon high into a low near midnight, giving solid pushing and pulling water over the reefs and points. That moving water has definitely helped the bite along the usual ledges and gullies. Sunrise came just after seven this morning with sunset before six, leaving a good, long dusk window for the after‑work mission. Off the beaches, the winter crew have been putting in work. Anglers along Strandfontein and Macassar have reported a mix of smaller kob with the odd better fish in the low‑teens kilo range, plus plenty of sandies and the occasional blue ray picking up baits meant for kob. Chokka and sardine combos on a simple running sinker trace have done the trick, with fresh redbait also getting attention in the rougher patches. Further around False Bay, the rock and reef spots near Kalk Bay and St James have produced decent Roman and hottentot for the guys fishing prawn, mussel, and redbait. Light south‑easter and clean water there meant lighter sinkers and longer traces could be used, which helped with the more finicky bites. A few nice galjoen have come out on the more turbulent ledges closer to Cape Point, mostly on redbait and white mussel, barbless circle hooks doing the job. On the Atlantic seaboard, things have been a bit quieter but not dead. The cooler water and wind have made it scratchy, but patient anglers around Oudekraal and Llandudno picked up mixed reef fish and the odd gallie in the white water. Blouberg’s had the usual bronzies smaller cousins still around, with guys sliding mackerel and bonito for a bit of winter fun when the sea allows. Lure anglers in False Bay have done okay in the early mornings and late afternoons. Soft plastics in natural mullet and white patterns, worked slow along the bottom, have been taking smaller kob and the occasional elf when the birds show. A few garrick have been seen cruising inside the bay; small surface plugs and paddletails are worth a throw, especially in that golden hour around first light. Best baits right now: fresh chokka strips, sardine, redbait, white mussel, and prawn for the reefs. For artificials, think subtle: 4–5 inch paddletails, jerk shads in pearl, anchovy, or bloodworm colours, and small metal spoons for elf when they push baitfish into the shallows. If you’re heading out, a couple of hot spots to keep on the radar: – Strandfontein Pavilion through to Broken Road for kob and rays on the night tide. – Macassar for a mixed bag of kob, steenbras prospects, and big sandies in the deeper gutters. – Kalk Bay reef edges for Roman and hottentot on the lighter gear. – Ou Skip and Melkbos when the sea backs off, for scratchy rock and surf and the odd gallie. Water’s cold, so layer up, check your drags, and fish that moving water at dawn, dusk, and over the tide changes. Remember to release your undersized fish and keep only what you need.
