About Port St Johns — Fishing Local Knowledge
Port St Johns is a renowned Wild Coast fishing destination, offering estuary, river, rock and surf angling as well as deep-sea boat charters from the Mzimvubu mouth. The big river, its estuary and the surrounding rocky coastline give an unusual variety of water for one spot.
The estuary and river hold spotted grunter, kob (kabeljou) and even freshwater species upriver, while the rocks and surf produce bronze bream, blacktail, shad (elf) and seasonal galjoen. Winter brings the sardine run, and with it garrick (leervis) and gamefish hunting close in. Grunter take prawn worked over the estuary banks, kob prefer live bait and fresh sardine in the deeper channel and gullies, and offshore boats target gamefish and reef species. It is remote — fish self-sufficiently and mind the strong currents at the mouth. Check current bag and size limits; galjoen is protected.
