The St Lucia Estuary is a very popular fishing spot. Anglers usually catch Shad, Spotted Grunter, Square Tail Kob and Pompona. The bigger fish usually wait just past the breakers during high-tide waiting for food to be washed down the Estuary and into the sea. One will need a general fishing permit to fish in the area, which is obtainable from the St Lucia reception area.

Please be careful of fishing near the Estuary's edge as there are many crocodiles and hippos in the water, do not stand within a few meters of the waterline or you may be the one that will be on the plate tonight.

Recommended tackle: Many different choices from Bait to Fly's. Ask the locals what is biting on the day and their tackle choice.
