Have Great Fun While Surf Fishing!

Though Surf Fishing may sounds as if it is a calm and easy way to have fun but it is a lot difficult than many people might think it be. There goes many preparations while planning for surf fishing. Calculations like wave height, the current, wind direction and rock positioning etc have to betaken into account for having successful surf fishing. All these information are taken into consideration before you start and cast your line.

The foremost thing that should be kept in mind while surf fishing is the preparation that has to be done beforehand. Also most of the places fishing license is required. If you are caught with having a fishing license you will have to pay hefty fine that can make you feel awful.

You will be required to get as much knowledge and information as needed to know about the best time when you can go surf fishing. It is known that during the high tide surf fishing can be done easily. But surf fishing also tests your patience and you will have to learn being patient. So you should bring along lot of bait and be ready to spend the day.

You don’t require special rod type for surf fishing. The rod depends on how well you cast. So when judging your casting ability be realistic so that you are able to catch a maximum number of fish you desire. The advantage that shorter rod has is; it increases one’s mobility so that he can move from one place to another in search for fish. It is noteworthy that one doesn’t need to cast too far away as the fishes just swim nearby the break line feeding on the dead and rotten matter.

Arriving in Cape Town is over whelming, the first thing you notice is the warmth and friendly attitude to you the surfer.  This country has been through so much in the past 30 years and it has always been my dream to set foot on its soil to surf the glorious waves that caress its shores daily. South Africa is blessed with some of the best and most consistent surf the world has to offer. Couple this with the mild climate and you have a surfing paradise. During the South African winter the coastline is supplied with almost endless groundswell and offshore winds due to the constant flow of cold front activity in the southern Atlantic.  So as a surfer arriving from a rainy Oregon to find warmth and amazing surf is a dream come true.

The tour I was on, involved sessions at numerous South African premier surf spots which include Jeffrey’s Bay, Seal Point, Victoria Bay, Bruce’s Beauties and as well as many other spots that “crank” in winter. Dylan collected me after arrival and we were all packed up to head off along the coast.  South African surfers are always so stoked it is amazing and Dylan was no acceptation to that rule and assured me that he had a thorough knowledge of surfing in the area and that he was our tour guide.  Furthermore he practically guaranteed me that I will get to the respective spots when they are at their best, he just fell short in advising me he had arranged the swell as well.
