Fishing

The Bazaruto Archipelago is a world-renowned fishing destination. The shallow flats between the islands and the mainland provide an excellent breeding ground for bait fish, which in turn provide sustenance for the numerous species of abundant game fish in the Archipelago. Delight in an assortment of fishing options, either over two hours, a half day or a full day of adventure. These include light tackle fishing in the bay, popping for the mighty Giant Trevally fly-fishing in the open ocean and targeting the ocean’s kingpin, the sword-wielding marlin. Hop aboard a versatile, multipurpose fishing boat, fully equipped with fishing tackle and safety equipment, at the ready for a fishing excursion unlike any other and accompanied by a professional guide.

The lodge and fishing grounds are ideally located in a National Park where bottom fishing is taboo and the catch-and-release of all species is greatly encouraged. Dedicated sports fishermen and leisure anglers alike can venture into this fishing mecca, excitedly hunting numerous species of fish.

For those interested in a more relaxed fishing experience, light tackle spinning, Plugging, vertical jigging, or drop shotting using artificial lures, will easily trap numerous other species, including the King Mackerel, Queen Mackerel, Wahoo, Dorado,Tuna,Jobfish and the elusive sailfish, to name but a few. In Addition deep water jigging can be particularly rewarding targeting Amberjack and Rosy Jobfish.

The Archipelago is pretty much a year-round fishery. Big game and heavy tackle fishing is at its best in the summer months between September to April, but sailfish peak in winter between May and September and plugging, spinning, jigging, conventional light tackle game fishing and fly fishing for an array of species is excellent all year round.
