Do you want to do some serious angling? Then Henties Bay is just the place. From here you can either go north or south, depending on where the fish are at the day. The beaches are open and accessible to fishermen with 4x4's. Remember, no angling is allowed within the borders of the Cape Cross Seal Reserve! Well-known angling spots with names like Bennie se rooi lorrie, Popeye, Sarah se gat, Canopy, Blare and many more, are not marked but maps with GPS coordinates are available at the Tourist Information Office. Depending on your bait and the water conditions you are likely to catch edible species such as silver kabeljou, west coast steenbras, galjoen en blacktail (dassie). But make sure you know what the restrictions are (see Angling Regulations) as there are serious penalties for violation of the law! The traditional months for rock and surf angling are from the end of January to April, but serious fishermen believe that you have a good chance right through the year. |
