Witsand River Charters

Mudlark River Front Lodge offers chartered cruises. Whether it's the excitement of deep sea fishing or a leisurely sundowner cruise along the estuary you are after we can cater for your needs. We offer both river and ocean excursions.

Our boat is a 520C Supercat Mudlark equipped with all safety equipment, GPS, fish finder and Shimano tackle.

Both the estuary and the ocean in the San Sebatian Bay area offer superb fishing.

Estuarine fish including Kob up to 50kg, Spotted Grunter up to 6kg, Garrick up to 12kg, Steebras up to 8kg as well as Elf and Cape Stumpnose.

Out at sea we routinely catch Yellowtail, Yellowfin Tuna, Skip Jack or Bonito, Kob, Cape Salmon or Geelbek, Red Roman, Red Stumpnose, Santer, Red Steenbras and Mussel Cracker. Of course sharks are also plentiful.

These fish are all caught at different times of the year depending on the season.

Our charters are between 5 and 7 hours in duration. All our equipment and fishing tackle is of the best quality and we provide bait, snacks and cool drinks. Our skipper has 20 year's experience fishing these waters and has fished international competitions representing the South African Deep Sea Angling Association in international fishing competitions on many occasions.

We have other options for fishing the river. You may for example want to hiire a dinghy with 30hp engine and Gily to guide you to the hot spots!

Or you can take advantage of our hourly rate for pleasure and subdowner cruises.
