Pomene Fishing for other resorts (see under activities)
Fishing is generally very good with our biggest attribute being that the local community are not seafarers which in turn means they have no impact on our offshore reef systems.
The area is also regarded as a reserve & has numerous environmental strategies in place. One of these is the ban on the catching of bottom fish. This has a notable affect on the amount & size
of game fish to be found in the various fishing grounds in the area.
Pomene is based on a strip of land with the sea on one side and a huge estuary on the other. Estuary fishing can be great fun on light tackle with a variety of juvenile (& occasionally sizable) gamefish to be found. Fishing in amongst the mangrove waterways from a kayak can also be great fun with large green & red snapper lurking in the deeper pools.
The best fishing to be had is during the summer months between October & June...Febuary to April is generally outstanding with a large variety of game fish species that can be targeted. Species likely to be encounted are King mackerel, Queen mackerel, Queenfish, Wahoo, Ignobilis kingfish plus another 6/7 species of kingfish, Prodigal son, Green jobfish, Tuna, Sailfish & the occasional Marlin.....
Fresh water/inland fishing....
The Madocha river feeds the estuary & is accessible by kayak. This particular river way is completely untouched & is home to some really big Mozambique tilapia, bream species & catfish.
Kayaks (with optional guide) as well as deep sea fishing outings can be arranged)..all tackle, rods, bait, lures etc provided.
