About Gqunube River
Gqunube River cuts through Eastern Cape, South Africa and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Gqunube River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Japanese meagre
Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.
- For Smallspotted grunter
Target Smallspotted grunter around structure like rocks and weed beds, and use a slow, deliberate retrieve to keep your bait in the strike zone longer.
- For Catface grouper
When fishing around heavy structure, use heavier line and a tighter drag to prevent the fish from breaking you off.
