DEEP SEA FISHING

Big Game Fishing (8 hours)
Two Oceans Sport Fishing Charters offer a professional service for Sport Fishing, Fly fishing, Spear Fishing and Pelagic Birdwatching in Cape Town.

Cape Town, situated at the southern most tip of Africa is a hotspot for Sport Fishing. Seasonal coastal upwelling provides the base of the food chain and is the key to this incredibly productive system. The upwelling supports huge shoals of clupeiod fishes such as sardine and herring. These vast shoals of baitfish attract large numbers of predators such as pelagic and inshore fish, pelagic and coastal sea birds, cetaceans, sharks and seals.

Cape Town is a must do destination for Sport Fishing, Birdwatching and Marine Wildlife enthusiasts. Joining us onboard our new boat, Obsession for a days charter will be a life experience. Our IGFA Certified Captain, and qualified Marine Biologist, David Christie, grew up in Cape Town and has fished these waters his whole life. His experience as a captain, extensive knowledge of local fishing conditions, unbelievable catch record and professional service has made him the favored choice for sportfishermen. This is clearly evident in the number guests who return to fish with Two Oceans Sport Fishing time and time again as well as the friendships that have been built up over the years.

Our predominant offshore target species are yellowfin tuna (from 40kgs to 120kgs), longfin or albacore tuna (between 10 and 25kgs), mako and blue shark (we have a catch and release policy on sharks) and occasionally dorado. Although several are hooked each season, Marlin are not targeted by many sportfishermen in our waters as the yellowfin tuna are so prolific, and are most often hooked on lures trolled for yellowfin tuna.

Inshore we mainly target yellowtail (up to 12kgs) and cape snoek (up to 10kgs). These species often travel in large schools and can provide hectic sport, especially on light tackle. Other species we catch include cape salmon, kob as well as reef shark species. During our tuna fishing seasons when the water is warm inshore, we sometimes catch yellowfin and longfin tuna right by the coast. On several occasions last season we caught yellowfin tuna right at Cape Point. These fish weighed in around the 60kg mark and were taken on light tackle, providing excellent sport.

David has pioneered fly fishing for yellowfin tuna in Cape Town and is with no doubt the leader in this challenging field. In October 2005 David landed a yellowfin tuna on fly fishing tackle weighing in at 76kgs. Since beginning to target monster yellowfin tuna on fly fishing gear, a sport we call Extreme Fly Fishing, many fly fishermen have been successfully guided by David and now
