GT´s popping and jigging – Mozambique early year report… Early year in Vilankulos and the Bazaruto Archipelago – Mozambique means warm water (and this year it´s been exceedingly hot) and thus some lethargy on the surface species one´s target´s while trolling, but excellent GT´s popping and jigging, fly fishing, and spinning!

Great end to Bazaruto´s Marlin Season It’s ironic how on our last post we wrote about all the big fish we caught of the Bazaruto Archipelago in December and then catch our biggest fish for the short season in the last day of Bazaruto´s Marlin Season.

Bazaruto´s December Marlin December marlin dreaming: After, as usual, waking up with the birds at 4am, I come across a post on Carl´s Du Plessis FB on a #800 Black he had caught with us 8 years ago in December. Lying in bed it got me thinking about all the big fish we have caught […]
Wolfgang´s gang – Marlin and GT´s from Vilankulos… By the end of November our good friend and client Wolfgang joined us for a long weekend, this time with a gang from his primary school days. Now Wolfgang first fished with us at the end of October 2018. It was an odd trip with a […]
Carl´s Bazaruto Marlin November ´20 trip… After a short break in November, we had Carl Jankowitz fly in, on the first available commercial flight from SA to Vilankulos since the pandemic started.

First Mozambique Sailfish for Diablo I was stoked when Duarte said I could write the intro to this story. You see. Diogo aka Diablo! Well. This guy has become the fishing Devil! I mean this dude never even fished before he moved to Vilankulos and started hanging out on the islands. Now look at him! […]
Zinave National Park We have tried to make the most of these enforced holidays and weird times, and, over the past few months (that just keep on stretching), have done some amazing trips with family & friends. As children of the sea and all things piscatorial, those have mostly been up and down the coast. […]
