About Herolds Bay — Fishing Local Knowledge
The reefs and rocky points that book-end the little beach give anglers plenty of ledges to fish, with the sandy centre offering a surf option when conditions allow.
Typical catches along this coast are blacktail, hottentot, galjoen, shad and musselcracker from the rocks, with kob and white steenbras from the surf gullies and garrick following the baitfish in summer. Redbait, chokka, prawn and sardine are dependable baits, worked on the incoming tide and into the evening for kob. Mind the rip currents when wading, keep an eye on the swell washing the ledges, and check current bag limits and the galjoen closed season before keeping fish.
