the pe area offer a wide selection for rock and surf anglers..to start with the spot at van stadens..lots of cob and steebras..but you have to read the water,otherwise you will end up catching alot less than the skilled anglers..look for sandbanks behind smaller holes..normally steenbras and cob there..use either chokka/chokka and pilchard combo or prawn for steenbras..some rays and sharks as well,so live mullet is not a bad option cause we have caught some nice leeries in the surf as well early in the mornings..secondly for the rest of the pe region you can fish cape recife..the point,elbow,the beacon area for bronze bream,cracker,cob and elf..on the patti road side you can fish for cob on the surf(just take a fishing partner)..you can also fish the marine drive are including spots like blue hole,schoenmakerskop,kini bay and the seaview and maitlands area..if you can get some nice working water you can get blacktail,galjoen,cracker,elf and cob...gamtoos is a good option as well for cob and steenbras as well as leeries on live bait..some nice raggies,duckbills and bronzies in summertime as well...further to the kabeljous and jeffreys are you can expect the same species as mentioned for gamtoos..further to paradise beach you get small atretches of broken reef..some nice edibles and also poensies in this area..this shoul cover about 80km to that side..from pe side you can fish bluewaterbay for some monster zambesie sharks as well as spotted grunter and cob on the sandbanks,mainly caught on prawn baits..hope this helps
Thanks Raggie! I do know Jeffreys and Paradise quite well - where would you say is the better spots to go to? I've tried fishing where the boats are launched of paradise beach on Monday, but didn't get much action? Would you say Jeffreys side is better or rather St Francis Bay side?
Furthermore - Where do you catch at Kabeljous and Gamtoos? Gamtoos river or would you say the surf is better?

rather fish the kabeljous surf area..look for some nice working water on sandbanks where cob and steenbras will feed..try to get some sandprawn from the lagoon..maybe a mullet or 2..there have been some leeries lately in the surf..st francis is good when the sea is up and foamy..nice elf,cracker and galjoen..use pilchard,redbait and prawn...i prefer the surf at gamtoos..if you have a boat the river is good for cob..surf normally produce some nice cob on the banks..the only time that you are going to get nice edibles is in working water..at paradise beach as well...we got some nice poensies on the reefs close to the tower..
