Your best bet would be the area from Kalkbay harbour to Simons Town.


Fish hoek and Clovelly area has some nice deepwater spots.


Target species would include:
Shad/Elf ( bluefish)
Yellow tail (Kingfish)
Possibly leerfish (Garrick)


A permit can be bought at any Post Office.


Regards
Ben

Mackerel, kantonkel (like bonnies) and yellowtail were all there last week - between Simonstown railway beach and Fish Hoek. You just need to find them.
