About Your Guide

Wikus

Independent Guide
Captain Wikus and his team bring over 40 years of fishing experience to the waters around Cape Town, with a deep passion for rock and surf fishing. Having started fishing at just 3 years old, Wikus has spent a lifetime learning these fisheries and now focuses on sharing that knowledge with anglers of all levels.

Trips are centered around False Bay and, at times, the West Coast, targeting a wide range of species—from powerful Bronze Whaler and Ragged Tooth sharks to prized edibles like Galjoen and Kob (Mulloway).

What sets Wikus and his team apart is their focus on teaching. They walk you through everything from tackle setup and bait presentation to reading the water, casting techniques, and even cast net use, making each trip both productive and educational.

Their approach is simple—keep it fun, keep it hands-on, and make sure you walk away with new skills, great memories, and a deeper understanding of the fishery.

About Your Trip

Join Wilkus for a guided rock and surf fishing adventure along some of the most productive stretches of South Africa’s coastline. These 5-hour trips for up to two anglers are a great way to experience the excitement of Cape surf fishing while learning proven techniques from a knowledgeable local guide.

Fishing takes place along the coast between False Bay and Still Bay, where a mix of sandy beaches, rocky points, and reefy structure create excellent
habitat for a variety of species. Depending on conditions and the time of year, anglers may target Kob (Kabeljou), Galjoen, Elf (Shad), Steenbras, Blacktail, and Hottentot.

These trips focus on rock and surf fishing, one of the most iconic forms of angling in South Africa. Wilkus will guide you through bait presentation, reading the water, and proper casting techniques to help you fish effectively from the shoreline. Whether you’re brand new to surf fishing or looking to sharpen your skills, the trip is designed to help you become a more confident and capable angler.

All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included, so you’ll have everything needed to get started. Wilkus also offers casting clinics and technique instruction throughout the trip, helping anglers improve their distance, accuracy, and overall approach to fishing the surf.

These trips are limited to two anglers, allowing for a personalized experience with plenty of hands-on guidance.
