Mozambique Sport Fishing
Although Quilálea forms part of a marine sanctuary, sport fishing
and deep-sea angling are offered outside the protected sanctuary.
The experienced skipper and crew know all the hot spots, so novice
and veteran anglers alike can enjoy Mozambique's unspoilt fishing
waters.
A 30- foot Bertrams Express, powered by twin Volvo Penta diesel inboards,
is available for use by big game fishermen. This vessel cruises
comfortably at 18-20 knots. A local dhow is also available for those
who prefer to cruise in silence and serenity.
The wide variety of game fish species can be taken from the complex
of habitats formed by the Quirimba Archipelago itself, while the Saint
Lazarus Bank due east of Quilálea is a hotspot for tuna and
billfish. Both the Archipelago and the Bank have yet to be discovered
by big game fishermen.
The deep drop-off immediately to the east of the Quirimbas Archipelago
guarantees a unique sports fishing experience. The Southern current
passes near the coast here and billfish can be taken within shouting
distance of shore; local fishermen sometimes catch them on hand lines
trolled behind dugout canoes.
The rods and reels available for use by guests are all Shimano, with
lines ranging from 20 to 80 lbs. Six lines can be trawled from the
Bertram's.
