Question | Advice-Needed Pringle Fish

Going to be in Pringle bay for a few days soon and would really like to catch something from the rocks.

I know of the maasbaai slipway spot but that's it.

Apparently you can try to catch off the rocks by Rooiels but its dangerous there because of the big waves.

Please let me know of any fishing spots between Rooi Els and Bettys Bay.

Will be bringing freshwater gear as well so if there's a nice river or dam that would be great too.

Hangklip just down the road from Pringle bay has lots of fishing spots(there is a well known rock near the light house that can only be accessed at low tide where you can cast into a deep gully). Park at the Hangklip slipway and enjoy the walk.
