Peak Season: 1 November - 1 February

1 November to 1 December: In Summer there is an abundance of Ragged Tooth sharks, providing a good tussle for tourists and local fisherman. This area, situated on the Wild Coast is extremely versatile as it produces both monster sharks and prized edible fish.

1 December to 1 February: The most productive time with massive Ragged Tooth sharks coming out in numbers. Every now and then, with the warmer waters, the Bull sharks tend to show their faces. The duality of Morgan's Bay allows for some memorable shark fishing and also for good edible fishing along Double Mouth.

1 February to 1 April: As the water temperature decreases, the summer fish move on to warmer waters. During this time anglers capitalize on edible fishing. In April we see the first signs of the Bronze Whaler Sharks, following the annual sardine run.

1 April - 1 September: Peak Bronzie time. The annual sardine run is in full effect, meaning predators like the Bronze Whaler Shark, Dusky (Grey) Shark and Spotted Gully Shark are thick and capitalizing on the abundance of bait fish.

Location: Morgan’s Bay

The small village and seaside resort Morgan's Bay is located roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes from East London. This area is home to some of the best summer fishing in the Eastern Cape.

With beautiful open beaches, rocky outcrops and deep dropoffs, which provide the perfect habitat for reef species. Morgan’s Bay’s deep dropoffs have been known to produce some special fish over the years such as yellowtail from the side, red steenbras, massive mussel crackers and many more.

Morgan’s Bay hosts a wide variety of spots and areas to target some of the Eastern Cape’s most prized fish, this stretch of coastline allows for anglers to target these fish in almost any conditions. Double Mouth is one of the more well-known areas that consistently produces during the summer months, whether it be non-edibles or edibles.

Apart from the great fishing Morgan’s Bay has to offer there are multiple summer activities to take part in over the festive season such as karaoke nights at the infamous Morgan’s Bay Hotel, a large variety of restaurants as well as the scenic Morgan’s Bay Cliffs.
