TARPON FISHING HOLIDAY PACKAGE


The Gambia - West Africa

7nts luxury accommodation with
5 DAYS Inshore Tarpon Fishing



holiday fishing boat


Tarpon averaging 20lb to 60lbs can be found in the shallow inshore bays along Gambia's coastline.  These spectacular fish are targeted using a variety of fishing methods including live-baits, lures and fly.

Sight fishing from the boat, pods of fish can be seen rolling on the surface.  This is when your guide will put you in the best position to present your bait, lure or fly.  Hook-ups are just fantastic as these silver kings will go aerial immediately after striking into them.  They will continue to go berserk both above and below the water presenting a challenge for any angler to stay connected. These aerial displays  give them their reputation for being one of the world's top sport fish. 

The fishing grounds are located directly in front of Ngala Lodge and with it's elevated cliff top position - you can often spot the tarpon rolling before being collected for your day's fishing.  Calm sea conditions can allow you to be collected or dropped-off from the beach directly in front of the Lodge, or alternatively, a ten minute ride to Denton Bridge where the boats are moored.

The combination of top quality accommodation and fishing gives you the opportunity to experience some of the best The Gambia has to offer.
