Kobbies in the Cape
Andrew von Biljon enjoyed some fishing time down in the Cape recently, and lucked into a fun run of kobbies, in most of the estuaries he and his mates fished.
They also got out to sea and managed a couple of beautiful baby black steenbras, which they returned healthy in the shallow waters.
All you need is a fishing mate or two, a little boat, a 4×4 – and this coast is your kingdom.
From garrick, er, leervis (learning fish?!), through all the kob species, the shad, the grunter – there is just so much for you to chase around between Cape Town and Durban. Many estuaries are quite safely, and legally navigeable, and accommodation options are endless.
