Spearfishing in South Africa
South Africa Spearfishing
There are numerous spearfishing destinations, however the main spearfishing hot spot is along the ruggedly beautiful Wild Coast. This magnificent coastline stretches from Kosi Bay in the north to Port Edward in the south. This distance is approximately 560km. This coastline attracts many spearfishermen worldwide and is home to a diversity of fish life. The warm Agulhas current sweeps down this entire coastline bringing in pelagic fish, black and striped marlin, yellowfin tuna, world record size kawakawa, skipjack tuna, king mackerel, queenfish, kingfish, dorado and wahoo. The current allows little sand and silt to settle, resulting in large areas of prime reef fishing. Go spearfishing in South Africa and discover the diverse marine life and stunning coral reefs.

Mossel Bay in the Western Cape also promises fantastic spear fishing. Fed from the tropical Agulhas current and the nutrient enriched Benguela current, this is a spear fishing haven. Spot the southern Yellowtail, Kabeljou or Kob, Cape Salmon, Red Steenbras, Red Roman, Red Stumpnose and Garrick to mention just a few. Just east of Cape Agulhas lies the small coastal town of Struisbaai which has become a popular spearfishing destination and boasts a wide variety of bottom-feeding as well as pelagic species desirable both as sport and food fish.
South Africa promises incredible spear fishing adventures for all enthusiasts out there. This magnificent coastline boasts a diverse fish life and gorgeous coral reefs ensuring an unforgettable South African spearfishing experience.
