September continues to be a very quiet month in the fishing business, with fewer trips than I remember for very many years, but this is good news for the fish and on those days when a boat gets amongst them there have been good catches. Adrian Paul got away from his desk and took Snark […]

Sailfish and a few black marlin are still to be found, but the boats are having more varied catches with plenty of wahoo as well as yellowfin tuna, kingfish and giant trevally to keep the anglers busy. At this time of year, many of the anglers are tourists, often their first try at game fishing, […]

After two rainy days last week the weather cleared and seas have been calm and inviting, but not many boat trips show that the tourism section is still quiet with the tourists watching their pennies! Tarka kept the anglers busy last Monday, tagging a black marlin and catching half a dozen wahoo and several yellowfin […]

While the weather has been variable with some windy days, it has been dry till this morning when howling winds and sleeting rain made it seem more like July than September! But despite not many boat trips during the week, quite a few sailfish have been caught and schools of small tuna have been showing […]

The weather has improved over the last ten days, with gentler winds and plenty of sunshine, but overall activity has been quiet with fewer anglers booking than usual at this time of the year, while marlin and sailfish have been harder to find. One area proved very active, with Neptune finding plenty of sailfish in […]

Unusually strong winds blew for four days from Wednesday last week, putting a temporary stop to fishing until the storm passed over but by Sunday the seas had subsided and boats started to go out again. Before the storm Snowgoose had tagged a black marlin which swallowed a Rappala lure and stayed hooked for the […]

There are fish around all year these days, although not many boats venture out in May and June, but with sailfish and marlin around in July on the Watamu Banks and Boiling Pot area more boats are getting into the action early. Tarka found a black marlin and a sail at the end of June, […]

In the past, the fishing season at the coast was assumed to start in August, but more and more boats are now hard at it in July, and even a few trips in June can be productive, with the weather not really a deterrent. Skipper Callum Looman in Tarka is usually the first into action, […]
