Deep sea fishing

Deep sea fishing spots around the world offer some of the most exciting adventures known to mankind. When you are deep sea fishing in South Africa, you will see a variety of marine life that no other country can offer. Get ready for the open ocean when it’s just you, the boat and the fish!

Deep sea fishing equipment

Deep sea fishing rods and reels are quite specific and you should obtain as much information as you can about deep sea fishing equipment before you make your purchase.

You will need a much stronger rod because the deep sea fishing rod needs to be able to handle the weight of the fish as well as withstand the amount of time it takes to reel one in.

Many fishermen prefer using graphite and fibreglass fishing rods for deep sea fishing in South Africa (fibreglass offers the flexibility you need and graphite fishing rods are strong enough to take the weight of large fish like marlin or sharks).

It is also very important to consider the weight of the deep sea fishing rod that you will be using. You might be fighting a fish for a long time and it is no use trying to reel in a large fish if the rod that you are using is too heavy for you.

Deep sea fishing tips

Make sure that your fishing reel holds at least 250 yards of line.
It is important to use good quality bait and not handle your bait too much.
Live bait is usually your best option for deep sea fishing because natural prey will attract more fish.
Ask the deep sea fishing charter what you should be taking along (sunscreen, rain gear and a hat is a must).
Make sure that the deep sea fishing charter you are using has the credentials and licensing that they need for deep sea fishing in South Africa.
