FISHING TOUR EXPERIENCE IN WATAMU WITH AFRICANMECCA
Watamu has received international recognition as a big game fish destination for serious anglers and hobbyists alike and plays host to a number of tournaments including the ILTTA World Championships. Thanks in part to the mountainous oceanic terrain, high concentrations of bait and predator fish are easily located away from its shore, making Watamu the prime hot spot for fishing on the coast of East Africa.
During your deep sea angling excursions, you will attempt to capture some of the world's most sought after large fish, including broadbill swordfish, marlin, shortbill spearfish and sailfish, and also support the important tag and release program that ensures the species success for generations to come. The fishing is so spectacular that on many occasions a single day's fishing has brought in sailfish, black marlin, broadbill swordfish and blue marlin.
Available to AfricanMecca guests is the 33-foot, diesel powered deep sea fishing charter boats – all fully equipped with all conventional tackle, but if you prefer to fly fish, you should plan to bring your own equipment. Beginners are taught the fundamentals of fishing in the Indian Ocean and the trips are especially enjoyable for children.
The fishing season begins from July, and in October, the billfish begin to arrive and remain in the area until April. Other types of fish that are abundant in the area are wahoo, yellowfin tuna and dorado. Marlins are best angled from July, August and December to March. Sailfish can be pursued during the soother ocean seas of September to January.
