The world class snorkeling, as well as the experience of walking on isolated, deserted beaches is reason enough to visit this area in Southern Mozambique. The beauty of the coastal forests, deserted beaches and crystal clear water is undisputed, but that is only a portion of the reason why Tourette Fishing has carefully selected this venue. The primary reason, for featuring as a Tourette Fishing destination is the world class and consistent fishing.

The Santa Maria Peninsular reaches northwards, creating the spectacular Bay of Maputo, this peninsular runs to an end, at the famous Hells Gates; this is a 300 meters wide channel which separates the Santa Maria peninsular from Inhaca Island. The strong inter-tidal currents ensure that the blue waters of Hells Gates remain deep, and always home to large predatory game fish that cruise the deep drop off. Every turn of tide, the Bay of Maputo dumps a large number of baitfish and nutrients into the Indian ocean, resulting in congregating shoals of King Mackerel, Queen Fish, Job Fish, king fish and sailfish. The Tourette Fishing Team expertly selects dates, coinciding with optimal moon phases, between December and April. This approach ensures that the area is fished over the time that offers consistent fishing, seasonally settled weather and optimal tides.

The approach to targeting the offshore bounty depends on your preference. There is the option to troll live and dead baits from Fishing Kayaks. Using light tackle adds to the thrill of fighting large predatory game fish from Kayaks. Under the experienced and watchful eye of professional Tourette Fishing guide, you will experience open ocean paddling, close encounters with dolphins, whales and turtles, as well as heart stopping screaming ratchets. For more information on this option follow Inhaca Island Fishing Ski Safari.

The area also offers excellent fly fishing opportunities, with a diverse number of species to pursue. The fantastic offshore fishery is explored on the Tourette Fishing Ski Boat. On this comfortable ski boat, your professional Tourette Fishing Guide will ensure that you visit the most productive reefs and areas, with fly rod at the ready, targeting King Mackerel, Green Job Fish, Queen Fish, Sailfish, Wahoo and a number of different King Fish Species. The speed and long fighting stamina of the offshore species is not the only attraction for the fly fisherman. The deserted shore line provides awesome opportunities to target shore bound species, such as Large Spot Pompano, Pick Handle Barracuda, Wolf Herring, Garfish, and a number of different king fish species.
