… a very different fishing experience.  

Seeing a 30kg cubera snapper charging your livebait with such force that it clears the surface; feeling the hundred-metre rush of a giant threadfin that's just inhaled your jig; a tarpon, golden-coloured by the tannin-stained water, cart-wheeling over the waves with your popper in its mouth; the endless fun of chasing baby snapper in the mangroves on the fly; seeing the water boil as jacks ravage baitfish amongst wheeling and diving birds; the savage strike of a two-metre long barracuda that smashes your lure in two; the sun sinking into the sea at high tide as you pull otolithe, like big slabs of silver, from the surf ... this is fishing the deserted Loango coast and it can be spectacular.

 

But, fishing at Iguéla is so much more than just the magnificent fish and the adventure of chasing them. Come and experience an environment that is how all of coastal western Africa must have once been; see the beauty of Central Africa, the vast waterscapes, the primal forests and the wildlife. Where else can you fish from the beach and at the same time share your stretch of sand with elephant and buffalo?
