10ft - 11ft rod, 11ft being max.
Elbe make a nice yellowtail rod, just change the eyes.
Daiwa sealine SL50H multplying reel. 15kg breaking strain line. Alot of really shiny spoons and plugs in the 2oz-3oz variety. REALLY, REALLY sharp hooks.
Rooikrans is your best bet, if you want catches, this is the spot. You could also try Fishoek area say from the catwalk ( very depending on weather ), Simons town I believe the gunnery produces, then there's Rooiels. But that is about it. I know everyone goes to Rooikrans and you need to be down there as the gate opens. Hope your casting is good, cause if you burn someoneoff when they are fighting a fish, well it wont be pretty.
Never, ever cast into a shoal, they will scare and be gone.
Cast well ahead and draw it past the leaders, when one takes the rest follow him in and this enables others to
to have a go. Buy a really long gaff, I wouldnt recommend a sliding gaff as this sometimes cuts the head off. As for weather, wait for the SE to pump for a few days, normally 3 days, this warms up the water and brings the tail in. Go on the 4th day when it drops a bit. It canbe a waiting game as it is unpredictable,you can get there at 7am and wait until 4pm before a shoal appears, so take coffee.
There is an entrance fee of I think R75. Good luck, oh and at rooikrans there is a stone basin that gets filled up with water to keep your fish cool and out of the sun down at the bottom.
