I have had the privilege of fishing with Morgan on a number of occasions and what really stands out is his comprehensive angling knowledge, be it shore-based spinning or bait-fishing, off-shore jigging and popping or big game. It is very seldom that one finds a guide with such wide-spread knowledge and ability.

Fishing Marlin in Mozambique

Our marlin fishing grounds are washed by the south flowing current that runs between Mozambique and Madagascar, sometimes to a strength of over 3 knots.

A very distinctive feature about our fishing grounds is how shallow and close to shore most of the big Black Marlin are caught. This provides short runs and fishing in clear sight of the breathtaking scenery, deserted beaches and exquisite sand dunes that make up Bazaruto’s windward coastline.

Blue Marlin

We target blue marlin in the deeper waters outside the archipelago as we seldom come across these species in water under 300m of depth.

Black Marlin

Blacks are the “brawlers” of the marlin world. They like shallow water where we find numerous species of shark and tuna feeding with them. Once hooked, a black marlin fights differently to other marlin species, for example they do not spend as much time jumping on the surface as a blue marlin would.

Striped Marlin

Striped marlin hunt in packs. It is very seldom that you will have only a single fish in the spread. They normally come up 3 or 4 fish at a time and multiple hook-ups are not uncommon.
