"The Triangle" - Ship Rock, Kasouga, Eastern Cape Fishing Spots
Kasouga is a very small coastal town in-between Kenton on sea and Port Alfred along South Africa's Eastern Cape coast, this town offers a great base on where you can start exploring and walking through the pristine beaches and magnificent angling areas.
When
I first fished this area, it was at high tide, on the far right of Ship
Rock (If you were coming from Kasouga), and I noticed that there was a
triangular shaped reef where the water would push out very fast after
the cycle of waves had finished. The water pushing out would make a huge
V that could be seen for about 50 meters on each side, so we decided to
nickname this specific spot The Triangle, although it does have
a real name: Ship Rock. Ship Rock is approximately 2 kilometers from the
Kasouga river, although it feels like you are walking 3 times the
distance when the tide is high!
The
fishing possibilities along the reef, gullies and sandy bottoms along
Ship Rock are truly unbelievable, and you have a chance to catch almost
anything here. There are Flatfish, Sharks, Edibles and Reef Fish as well
as some Gamefish species that patrol the backline, that can be reached
from a cast from the rocks on low tide.
Best
baits for the edibles and reef fish, which are in abundance here,
are Sand Prawn, Mullet Fillets, Chokka and Pink Prawn.
