MYDOs for Macanete
Macaneta is about the closest proper beach from the South African border at Komatipoort. Fort his reason,Macaneta is a really practical fishing destination. And! You are within striking distance of the deep and mean waters behind and around Inhaca Island.
One more huge bonus is not having too much to do with Maputo and the road north. Just get through the border cops. Then the Maputo cops. And you are home free.
Macaneta
I came charging through Macaneta waters, from Pomene one day. There were so many acres of fish just north, and about 5 miles out. This lasted for about 20kms!
But ok, granted, it is never always like this. But here is a breakdown of the reefs and other options you can enjoy off Macaneta.
Heading north in the shallows is queen mackerel territory. They hang out where they can find small (tiny) baitfish. Smaller species of kingfish also abound here. Also targeted with tiny little lures for so much fun. Mainly in winter, but in summer too.
The MYDO Macanete Pack is loaded with tiny little offerings to entice these fish, along with the skipjack and bonnies, that we all so badly need. For live bait and the big fish.
The deeper reefs, and out towards Inhaca, are danger zones. There are huge GTs and all sorts of bad-mannered toothy gamefish. Some without teeth too. Cobia. Tuna. The spots are easy enough to plot out with some research on your GPS. Get yourself in 20 to 40 m, find a pinnacle and some fish, and send those heavy-duty jigs down there. Here is a video made with Captain Bino Nordine, doing exactly this…with some other old news mixed in… out off Macanete.
Inhaca
There is a lot to Inhaca and the waters around that picturesque and historical island. On the edge of the edge, there are all the main suspects. There are jagged reefs and pinnacles dotted all over the north. Black marlin and sailfish abound in summer. And then when you cross over the shelf and get out into the blue, the blues and stripes are there too!
These are mainly winter fish along with wahoo and some outsized yellowfin.
But it is the summer that really counts. So much bait. So many species to target.
Billfish
Love this place and these waters. In the Macanete Pack is included two marlin live bait traces. Although the heavy-duty wire gamefish traces that are also included, will handle most bills up to 60 or 80 kgs.
