About us

Our Fishing Ground

We are usually based in Dar es Salaam, from where we fish the surrounding waters which include the Zanzibar Channel and Latham Island.
We have also been fishing several times along the coast, from south to north and we are quite familiar with Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Latham Island, Mafia Island, Kilwa, Mtwara, Kenya. latham fishing, latham, deep sea, big game, sportfishing, fishing, tanzania, zanzibar, pemba, latham island, fish, jigging, marlin, sailfish, yellowfin, tuna, broadbill, world record, record, IGFA, giant grouper, giant trevally, bigeye, trevally, dogtooth, jason alexiou, maddalena martinengo, nelson shayne, kilwa,

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.

Tackle

We usually fish 16 through to 80 lbs tackle (Shimano and Penn). deep sea, latham, big game, jigging, sportfishing, fishing, tanzania, zanzibar, pemba, latham island, fish, jigging, marlin, sailfish, yellowfin, tuna, broadbill, world record, record, IGFA, giant grouper, giant trevally, bigeye, trevally, dogtooth, jason alexiou, martinengo, nelson shayne, kilwa,
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.
