YELLOWTAIL FISHING
Yellowtail, also known as "Yellowtail Kingfish" are found in big shoals around Cape Point and surrounding areas. They put up a great fight and are commonly served as "catch of the day" in most restaurants, making this fish species one of our favorite to target!
The presence of small bait fish such as anchovy and squid, indicate that the game fish are not far away. The seabirds usually indicate to the fishermen exactly where the fish are to be caught. Yellowtail usually chase the bait to the surface of the water, which results in the seabirds swooping down and competing with the game fish for their food.
Yellowtail is currently listed as a green species by SASSI, meaning they are a sustainable fish species to target!
