St Lucia is one of the best angling destinations in South Africa.
Shore anglers can fish the Mapelane section, St. Lucia mouth to First Rocks, Mission Rocks
and Cape Vidal. Estuary fishing is best at Honeymoon Bend and on the main Lake around Charter’s Creek, Fanies Island and False Bay.

Seventy per cent of all fish caught by shore anglers are Shad. The Shad St Lucia fishing season closes at the end of September and then re-opens at the beginning of December. The closed season is to protect the breeding stock, as most fish species start breeding and laying eggs during October. Bag limits are now four Shad per day per person and each fish has to be no smaller than 30cm in length.

Some of the species caught off the shore are shad, grunter, garrick, salmon, kingfish and many more
