Tofo Light Tackle
To really round off your Tofo experience, you ought to try the Tofo Light Tackle fishing. There are some really nice boats available, with experienced captains and guides.
Tofo and Barra give you access to an amazing string of reefs, massaged by the strong Mozambique Current, and enjoyed by the marine life it sustains.
Seasonal gamefish move through – marauding the baitfish in their way. They, in turn, attract the sailfish and marlin – which swim right in the shallows around here…and are encountered often by scuba divers on the dive sites.
Our strategy is to cover ground seeking the action at higher speeds, dragging lures, with daisy chains, and Mydo’s, after which point we go to bait live bait or, whole fresh baits and fillets, specially rigged on Mydo Bait Swimmers and Stripswimmers. But live bait is always the best, so at any time we get lucky with a bonito or little yellowfin, it goes swimming with a few hooks attached…some mornings we can collect smaller live bait on the way out, either with yozuri jigs or buying from the local netters.
We mainly catch yellowfin tuna and king mackerel, both in the 5kg to 25kg range. Kingfish abound, the prized fighter Bluefin and huge GT’s can be tussled with at Praia da Roche or Tabletop. Some GT’s go over 60kg’s!
The trip includes bait, tackle, tutoring for sport fishing…yellowfin tuna, king mackeral, kingfish, queen mackeral, wahoo, dorado and a sailfish or marlin! Chance to see and swim with whale sharks, mantas and dolphins.
And we have added a tag and release aspect as we join the Oceanographic Research Institute’s fish tagging program.
