Cape tuna, surf sharks and Mozambique marlin
Southern Africa has it all: surf fishing for kob and big sharks on the Namibian coast, yellowfin tuna off Cape Town, kob and garrick along the Garden Route, and the famous sardine run off KwaZulu-Natal.
Further north, Sodwana Bay and Mozambique offer black marlin, sailfish and giant trevally, and the Bazaruto Archipelago has flats fishing too.
Rules: South Africa and Namibia sell recreational permits with bag limits, Mozambique requires a license, and marine protected areas have no-take zones.
On the bay, in the mangroves or on the ocean, the everyday struggles get left at the dock. For those few hours, it's just you, the water and peace.
