CATCH & RELEASE
We are members of the International Game Fishing Association. Therefore we actively encourage our “Catch and Release” policy for all Billfish, Sharks and Trevally species. Unless of course they are likely to be East Africa, All Africa, World Record fish, or if our skipper believes that the fish is unlikely to survive release. Be that as it may, should you wish to take a Tuna, a Dorado or any other lesser Game Fish Species back to your hotel for your chef to prepare for you, you are more than welcome!
