Meanwhile, up in Bazaruto Island waters…

Meanwhile, up in Bazaruto Island waters…: Captain Duarte Rato and crew, have dialed right into the wintertime conditions recently. Sporting some really good king mackerel catches. In amongst the usual slurry of blue marlin, and sailfish. They also prefer the dry season and slightly cooler water.

Duarte has been doing his homework too, and recently we have uploaded three jam-packed posts. Filled with the usual high-quality imagery, and entertaining blogging we are so used to.

Check it out…

In the first two posts, young Anrich totaled an incredibly cool tally of 24 gamefish species during his trips out to sea with FishBazaruto.com. You can read those posts right here…

Yip, Anrich had the fishing experience of a lifetime out there with the crew.

And moving on to the third post…all about the king mackerel that can be found all around Bazaruto Island in the dry season.

Wintertime king mackerel

Wintertime can be tricky some days. Luckily there are plenty of other big gamefish to chase after. Including wahoo, GTs, Queenies, and all sorts that swim around Bazaruto Island and her sisters – Benguerra and Margaruque. Including the highly sought-after king mackerel. AKA couta.

These fish come right into the shallows and provide hectic sport for the light tackle, or fly, enthusiast. In and around the channels and sandy drop-offs – little couta can be found.

And some big guys!

Check out this post, for a summary on king mackerel aka couta fishing up in the waters around Vilankulos. The terrain is perfectly suited for these aggressive and shallow swimming fish. Very seldom found deeper than 20 or 25 metres.

Right, if you feel like taking some time out to chase big king mackerel, get in touch via the FishBazaruto.com website. Or email me, Sean, on umzimkulu@gmail.com, or use the big old WhatsApp button floating around on this site somewhere.

You can also browse the MYDO Tackle Store right here. You can come fishing down south in Port Shepstone, where we also catch big winter time couta. And where Umzimkulu Adrenalin can get you out there and into the action.
