This day was absolutely EPIC!!!
BIG water, HUGE fish!!
Grant and Jarod were amazing on the boat, professional and fun (and really strong!). The boat was clean, tidy, and they organized us with the gear flawlessly.
Being my first time tuna fishing (done lots of salmon fishing, but this is a wee bit different!), the guys gave me fantastic guidance and encouragement to reel in 4 enormous fish!!
The only problem is that my husband Jon can't stop talking about it, even months later!! Thanks Sean, Grant and Jarrod!!

What an experience! I’ve gone out twice with the Hooked On Africa team and both have been so memorable! From catching my first Yellow Fin Tuna (a big one too!), to catching 20 in one day! The vibes onboard are so much fun. I learnt a lot and I’ll definitely go again! Highly recommend this to anyone in Cape Town looking for an adventure. Thank you to Sean, Grant & Jarryd and the team that make it all happen!
