The 2022 Marlin Season has fired up

The 2022 Marlin Season has fired up

The 2022 Marlin Season has fired up: with this very first post by the crew of FishBazaruto.com. As they enjoy the beginning of what promises to be another cracker fishing season in those deep purple waters.

Spoiler alert!

Duarte and crew are fully-booked for this 2022 marlin season. Unless there is a last-minute cancellation or something crazy, it’s back-to-back bookings. And no time for more.

However, you can talk to us about next year. Get in touch with me Sean here on umzimkulu@gmail.com and +27793269671. Or click on over to the FishBazaruto website. Use the Rates and Contact page to drop off an enquiry. Duarte is way out of cell range every day so expect a little delay.

Enjoy the article below, from the FishBazaruto.com blog…marlin, sailfish, wahoo, yellowfin, GTs, JObfish, Queenfish…

Marlin fishing in South Africa

We might not be as pretty as Bazaruto, but we do have some serious concentrations of fish here along the eastern seaboard of South Africa.

We have the screaming blue Agulhas Current come right up against the continental shelf here too. Which in some places is real close. Like a few kilometres close! These are the places I like to fish for billfish. Where we don’t have to travel miles and miles and miles just to get to the fishing grounds.

The black marlin arrive here much the same time as they up north in Bazaruto. Most of them are notably swimming north. Presumably to the breeding concentration that Bazaruto Island hosts each year this time.

Sodwana Bay is most likely the most fun of all our marlin fishing destinations. Sporting hectic features that show a lot of similarity with the Mozambique hotspots. Deep canyons and steep drop-offs. Strong currents. Bait forced up to the surface.

Richards Bay opens up a huge expanse of water. They got some huge boats there too. But its quite far to the grounds which needs to be factored in weather-wise each time.

Durban is similar in that the 80m line and then the continental shelf is miles offshore.

Shelly Beach features a handy small craft harbour with tractors throwing boats in the shore break quite effectively. The current and the shelf are a mere 20 minutes away from that same shore break. This is a place that holds heaps of potential with a few 100kg yellowfin tuna featuring in the mix out there. Along with many marlin. Closer in there is the formidable Protea Reef with its steady supply of tuna for bait.

If you feel like sampling these crazy waters, contact Sean on umzimkulu@gmail.com or +27793269671 and we can put something together for you.

For this 2022 marlin season!
