A lad's best reward from fishing.

Jun 30, 2021 Kendwa

Wahoo season finally. Young lad caught a 28 pound wahoo. Great day out of fishing.

Pemba channel

Apr 8, 2021 Kendwa

A three day fishing trip to the Pemba channel. Quite experienced anglers. Very good at jigging and popping. Caught a 100 pound stripped marlin which was tagged and released. Pretty good fishing month of April.

Alls well that ends well!

Feb 10, 2021 Kendwa

A group of lads on their vacation. How best to unwind than to go out fishing. Full day of fishing nailed the guys to bond even more. Good day for them, two dorados great for a mouth watering meal!

Wahoo season!

Jan 20, 2021 Kendwa

This angler caught this 18 pound Wahoo. The techniques used on the half day of fishing trawling, jigging.

The weather did not cooperate as seas were rough. The Captain and his Mate were very friendly and knowledgeable. I was disappointed that we did not have any live bait as it was advertised. Did catch one nice sized Mahi Mahi and had it for dinner that night!

I can really recommend a trip with the Baloo. After numerous fishing trips in Mauritius, the Seychelles, the Canarian Islands and in the Caribbean I would like to rate the trip with the Baloo as very good. The organisation is perfect, the crew is very friendly and competent. The boat is in good condition and has everything you need for fishing. The equipment is good and the crew has a lot of expertise and the will to catch something. So we could catch a Wahoo with 22 kg.
