Fri 9th March

Pat was out today with Mike Wilder and friends on "Broadbill" and managed to pick up 2 sailfish and lose a striped marlin that seemed to be on nicely only to come off. They had a few other sailies rise to the lures only to slink back in to the depths. "White Otter" also had 2 sailfish and missed a stripey that they saw tailing and came in just to knock an outrigger down. "Shuwari" saw a few sails and at least 1 marlin but only managed some dorado and a wahoo. Mike and co got about 6 dorados and their seem to be a lot of them about.

For once the forecast was correct and the wind has seemingly swung in to the south, actually coming from the SW, which normally is a disaster for fishing in the Pemba Channel. The sea was flat calm as is rather common at this time of the year.

Sea Adventures Ltd, Shimoni, Kenya offers fishing charters on either the 46-ft "Broadbill" skippered by the old man of the sea, Pat or on the 42-ft "Kamara II skippered by myself in to the Pemba Channel or live aboard fishing safaris. In my reports I will try to give an honest appraisal of the fishing out of Shimoni, whether on our boats or others.
