Cape Town Autumn Gold: Yellowtail, Kob, and Galjoen on the Rise
from Cape Town, South Africa Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your Cape Town fishing mate, comin' at ya live from the Mother City on the evening of April 22, 2026. Autumn's settlin' in nice, with clear skies, temps hoverin' around 20°C daytime droppin' to 15°C tonight, light southeasterly winds at 10-15km/h, and mostly sunny vibes – perfect for a late arvo session before dark. Sunrise was at 7:05am, sunset 6:15pm, so we've had a solid 11 hours of light. Tides today? High at 9:20am (1.6m) and 9:45pm (1.7m), low at 3:10am (0.4m) and 3:35pm (0.3m) per SA Navy charts – fishin' the incoming tide now is prime as it pushes bait into the shallows. Action's been hot off our shores lately! Yellowtail and kob are smashin' it in close, with reports of 20-40kg yellows boated off Hout Bay last week on fresh chokka. Galjoen are grinnin' on the incoming at Strandfontein, limits of 5 per angler easy with redbait or prawns. Elves (shads) are runnin' thick in Table Bay, and small tuna plus skipjack tunny are crashin' poppers from kayak crews. Offshore, yellowfin and longfin are up on the Agulhas Bank, with 50+kg beasts on live sardines. Best lures right now? Rapala X-Rap 20g in silver for yellowtail trollin', or stickbaits like the Zerek Live Shrimp for surface explosions on kob and geelbek. For bait, chokka squid on the hook is king, or fresh sardines/mullets for bottom bashin'. Soft plastics in pearl or green on 1/4oz jigheads nail the elves. Hit these hot spots: Muizenberg beach for galjoen on foot – fan-cast the gutter at dusk. Or Rooikrans rocks for kob on incoming tide, watch for the sweep. Boat guys, try the Kelp Highway off Chapman's Peak for yellows. Rig light, stay safe on the cliffs, and respect bag limits – our ocean's gold!
