When is the best time to go fish?

All fishing trips are carefully considered and are based on various conditions, such as tides, wind direction, wind speed, moon phase etc.

If the conditions are not favourable on the day for which a trip is booked (determined a day or two before the time), the trip could then be postponed until the conditions improve.

When do we need to pay?

A minimum deposit of 50% is required in order to confirm any bookings.

Please note that this deposit is non-refundable, should you cancel your trip.

However, if full payment has been made, the remaining 50% of the trip cost will be refunded.

Can I change or cancel my reservation?

Yes — you can reschedule up to 7 days before your trip, and make minor changes up to 48 hours in advance. Unsafe weather? We’ll reschedule or refund. Cancellations:

  • 7+ days: Full refund or reschedule
  • 3–6 days: 50% refund or full credit
  • <72 hours or no-show: No refund

A 50% deposit secures your booking. Refunds (if applicable) are processed within 5–7 business days. To make changes, contact us at clayton@reelanglingadventures.co.za or WhatsApp +27 81 438 1257.

Is bait included on the trip?

Yes, all baits are included.

Do you offer pick-up and drop-off service?

Yes, there are three options available:

  1. Meet at the designated fishing spot which is determined due to the conditions on the day (4×4 is advised).
  2. Meet at Reel Angling Adventures HQ and travel with me (no cost for the False Bay trip).
  3. Make use of the collection and drop-off service at an extra cost (calculated per km from Reel Angling Adventures HQ to your collection address and back).
Do you offer boat trips?

Yes — while we focus on shore angling, we can arrange deep sea and inshore boat trips through a trusted local partner. Just let us know during booking and we’ll handle the details.

Are there toilet facilities on the beach?

Unfortunately, most of the toilet facilities along the coast have been vandalized and are out of order, but mobile self-operating toilets will be available soon.

Must all fish be released?

Releasing fish is always encouraged to ensure the health and longivity of the species. However, withholding one or two to take home is usually okay.
