Our Fishing Method
Our main method of fishing is based on trolling using a combination of lures and natural dead
baits (ballyhoo or strip baits) or we live bait, according to the type of fish we want to raise.
We also do
Broadbilling on overnight trips, Jigging, Popping for Giant Trevallies and bottom fishing (day trips or overnight trips)
We fish in accordance with the International Game Fish Association Rules and we tag and release billfish.

If you are planning to experience fishing along this coast, you will find that most boats in Tanzania will run heavier tackle,
therefore if you would like to fish light tackle we suggest you to bring your own.

Releasing Giant Trevally
Thanks to the help of the local fishermen, it is several years that we are comparing measurements of Giant Trevallies,
with their weights in order to find a formula which could give the most realistic weight of the fish, just by measuring
its fork length and girth, allowing us to release the fish and knowing the approx weigth of the fish.
We have found that the following formulas are the most accurate giving a mistake of +/-2 kg :
GT up to 30 KG and over: (girth x girth x fork length x 2.74) / 100000
GT of 40 KG and over: (girth x girth x fork length x 2.70) / 100000
GT of 50 kg and over: (girth x girth x fork length x 2.60) / 100000
All the scales used for this purpose have been yearly certfied by the Tanzanian Bureau of Standard.
Some people along the coast apply a different formula for any fish size:
(girth x girth x fork length x 3.46) / 100000
Please be aware that such a formula does not reflect the TRUE WEIGHT of the fish giving differences
from 2 to 5 kg for the small critters, up to HUGE differences of 15 - 20 kg AND OVER for the
bigger fish of 40/50/60 kg.
