We are now taking bookings for our SUMMER SEASON Fishing Package


AFRICAN ANGLING are offering exiting NEW fishing trips for THE GAMBIA for the summer season, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, and OCTOBER.

AFRICAN ANGLING has extensive knowledge of fishing in the TERRITORIAL WATERS OF THE GAMBIA, stretching over 20 years.   Based on our experience and having guided anglers from all over the world, we have tailor-made a fishing program to suit the requirements of the fishermen who want to sample the best range of fishing THE GAMBIA has to offer !

WE HAVE COMBINED SPORT FISHING IN THE WARM OFFSHORE ATLANTIC BLUE WATERS OF THE GAMBIA, TOGETHER WITH THE VARIOUS INSHORE FISHING IN THE TROPICAL WATERS OF THE GAMBIA RIVER ESTUARY AND COASTLINE.

Offshore, Blue Water/Wreck and Reef Fishing

Trolling, lure and live bait fishing for ATLANTIC SAILFISH and DORADO is combined with fishing on the offshore WRECKS and REEFS with jigs, lures and baits for a range of fish species including Snapper, Grouper, Jacks, Cobia and big Barracuda. The day's offshore trip is spent fishing for part of your day dropping on the Wrecks and Reefs and then moving into the warmer Blue Water currents for the next part of the trip!

Inshore River Estuary and Coastal Fishing

The warm tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean blend together with the River estuary and coastal waters of THE GAMBIA, bringing with them some exciting fishing opportunities!

Pods of TARPON move into these inshore waters and can be targeted in the shallow coastal bays using a variety of methods including live baits, lures and fly!  Their hard fighting aerobatics make these a top catch for Anglers. 

Shoals of BARRACUDA and JACKS make for some great trolling and lure fishing.  Added to by the varied bait fishing at anchor on the INSHORE REEFS and SAND BANKS, fishing for SNAPPER, CASSAVA, LADY FISH, CAPTAIN FISH and LARGE STING RAYS, makes for the best day's fishing for variety of species and fishing methods.
