Wavecrest Fishing

The Perfect Fishing Spot for your Wife

Wavecrest is one of the most diverse angling destinations in SA, as it offers pretty much all aspects of shore angling. Shallow bays filled with Bronze Bream, river mouths to estuaries, deep-water points and open beaches, as well as deeper gullies good for Musselcracker and a range of other rock-dwelling fish.

Two rivers, the Nxaxo and Ngqusi, converge here. They are extremely productive and perfect for light tackle enthusiasts, especially fly-fishing, lure and dropshot lovers. Species vary from Kob and Grunter to Garrick, which are plentiful, along with a whole range of smaller estuarine species, especially during the warm summer months. The river system has various holes which hold very good fish, especially Kob.

A stunning stretch of beach North of the hotel makes for excellent Pignose Grunter and Kob angling. The Block in the river mouth produces great catches of Garrick, Shad, Pignose Grunter, Kob and Raggies. Artificial lures off the block will produce great catches of Garrick and Kob.

Further South, Cole Reef, Kob Hole and Scallop Point are great deep water spots which can produce monster Musselcracker, giant Kob, Bronze Bream and a whole host of other rock-dwelling species.

Our shop sells bait, including sardine and pink prawn , as well as a variety of hooks, sinkers and basic fishing tackle. We do stock lures that work for this area. We provide two bait storage freezers for our guests which are accessible 24 hrs.

Please be aware of our Sustainable Fishing Policy. We encourage catch and release, and please only remove what you can eat for that day, which our chef will prepare for your table. The direct result of maintaining this fishing policy is that anglers are rewarded with great catches.

And gents, we have a Spa with a whole range of treatments........Wavecrest is the perfect place to take your wife on a fishing trip!
