About Plettenberg Bay — Fishing Local Knowledge
Plett gives anglers surf fishing along its beaches, rock ledges around Robberg and the Lookout, and estuary fishing in the Keurbooms and Bitou river system.
The beaches and rocks produce kob, garrick, shad, white steenbras, white musselcracker, blacktail and galjoen, while the Keurbooms estuary holds spotted grunter, Cape stumpnose and leervis. The long beach from Lookout towards Keurbooms and the Robberg ledges are well-known marks; fish sardine, chokka and prawn on the push and around high tide, with dawn, dusk and after dark best for kob and garrick. Robberg is a nature reserve and MPA, so check current regulations, permits and bag limits before fishing.
