Description

Ox Eye Tarpon Tour of Southern Africa

Rates are per person with a minimum of two. A surcharge applies if you want to fish on your own. Two weeks. Guided.

Ox Eye Tarpon Tour: Luckily these magnificent gamefish – a mirror on fins, feature right on our doorstep. In the Umzimkulu Estuary where I grew up. They actually feature in many of our estuaries and harbours.

And just recently, Duarte Rato of FishBazaruto brought me this photograph!

This is Justin Landrey. And he is holding onto a freshly caught Ox Eye Tarpon, caught in the Zinave National Park, in Mozambique. This is the Save river. And guess where it empties out…?

Bartholomew Diaz aka BD aka Nova Mambone!

We also know that they are in the Pomene Estuary. The Kosi Bay system. The nKomati River estuary in Maputo. Richards Bay and Mtinzini. Kosi Bay. What a trip this is visiting all these amazing places.

And so, we are now able to put together this itinerary…to help you onto your very own trophy ox eye tarpon.

Between the Umzimkulu Estuary, the Kosi Bay system, Pomene, Zinave (including wild animals) and Bartholomew Diaz, you will encounter your ox eye tarpon.

Vehicles

Where we go is really remote and so we cruise with rented 4wds. Three passengers plus driver.

Accommodation

It is a luxury camping trip. We have everything you need whilst out there in the bush and under the stars.

Kitchen

All food and drinks are catered for.

Tackle

We have spinning tackle for everyone. But you are most welcome to bring your own. Lures are provided by MYDO Fishing Lures in Port Shepstone, South Africa. And are included.

Bring your own fly rods.

Waters

Many of the places we fish do not require a boat. And some places we visit have boats there for us. Wild animals are everywhere and total awareness needs to be maintained. Luckily not all places are dangerous. But many are. You will see a lot of wild life on this tour!
