Crab & Prawn Charters

Crabbing & Prawning are an age-old favourite past time for those who call the west coast home! Hoek Setter Fishing Charters is so happy to be able to offer this service to our guests - either as an adventure on it's own, or and add-on to our longer fishing charters.

Learn the ropes as we bait traps, drop them and after a "soak" pull them up to the surface using our electric puller. Gone are the days of yarding up 100's of metres of rope! We target:

Spot Prawns
Tiger Prawns
Dungeness Crabs
Red Rock Crabs

Packing List & Guidelines

A day on the water can be unpredictable. To help prepare for a great day of fishing, please give our packing list a read as there are a few items that you will need to bring along (aside from your enthusiasm and curiosity). All safety equipment, life jackets, and fishing gear are provided by us. So no need to bring your own tackle box, rods, or otherwise.
