FISHING IN ZANZIBAR
Fishing Zanzibar is located in Nungwi, a fishing village on the
north-western tip of Zanzibar Island where the fishing grounds of
Zanzibar, Pemba and the famous Pemba Channel are not even a stone's
throw away. Fishing is by trolling a combination of lures or natural
dead baits (Ballyhoo or strips) or live bait.
Billfish such as striped, black and blue marlin as well as the
acrobatic and dazzling sailfish and elusive spearfish abound in
these crystal waters. Yellow fin tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, Barracuda,
Kingfish (Trevally), King & Queen Mackerel and the lesser game fish
such as Bonito tuna, Skipjack tuna and Rainbow Runner provide
endless hours of adrenalin filled game fishing action out on the
water.
The company are members of the International Game Fish Association
and actively encourage a catch and release policy of all billfish
and sharks unless they are likely to be East Africa, all Africa,
World record fish or the skipper believes the fish is unlikely to
survive release.
With Leven bank just 5 miles north of Nungwi and the drop-offs and
deep blue water east of Mnemba Island about 12 miles east, the well
equipped fishing boats and professional crews will have you in the
mix in no time!
The boats are available for half day or full day charters and night
fishing trip for broadbill, the “gladiator of the sea”, can be
arranged and will certainly test your skills as an angler.
Boats are fitted with a full electronics package i.e. GPS/Chartplotter,
Fishfinder/Sonar, VHF and a Category 1 Safety equipment package. On
the fishing side they are fitted with fighting chair, outriggers and
downrigger. Rods and reels (Shimano & Daiwa) from 20lb through to
