Langebaan Lagoon is a tidal saltwater lagoon and Ramsar wetland, fished from the shoreline, banks and shallow flats rather than from open surf.
It is best known for white steenbras (an overexploited, tightly regulated species), Cape stumpnose, spotted grunter, harders and sand sharks, with linefish such as geelbek and yellowtail moving through the deeper channels nearer the mouth. Light tackle with prawn, sand prawn or bloodworm fished on the incoming tide over the flats is the traditional approach. Because much of the lagoon is a Marine Protected Area with no-take and restricted zones, bag limits and closed seasons are strictly enforced, so always check current regulations and permitted zones before fishing.
