Fishing in Kizimkazi

A deep-sea fishing day off Kizimkazi, where the continental shelf drops fast and the big-game pelagics run. Targets include yellowfin tuna, kingfish, marlin, sailfish and dorado (dolphin fish) in season. Trolling and jigging gear provided. Catches we keep are split with the boat crew or grilled on the beach.
