The Bearded Fisher – Guided Fishing Trips in the Overberg

The Man Behind the Beard

I’m Ruan Burger, The Bearded Fisher, and I'd love to take you on a guided fishing tour along the Overberg coast, anywhere from Betty's Bay to Struisbaai. Whether you want to catch Galjoen, Steenbras, or Kob, I’ll help you have an unforgettable experience.

For as long as I can remember, the water has called me. For 30 years, I’ve mastered both freshwater and saltwater fishing, from tranquil rivers and dams to the wild rock and surf, proudly representing Western Province along the way.

Sharing this passion with others, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, is what drives me. Every trip is more than just catching fish; it’s about the quiet moments on the water, the rush when a fish takes the bait, and the stories that stay with you long after the day is done. My Overberg guided fishing trips are designed for adventure, learning, and memorable catches.

I live by it, and after one of my trips, you might just feel the same—Fishing is Life.
