It is not easy to face an expedition in Africa, without having everything planned. That little or nothing was left to chance, is the feeling I had after contacting the guys from Cape Verde Fishing. Once in place, the feeling was strengthened by their ability to deal with the thousands of tasks that fishing this special place requires. And fishing was simply perfect! Punctually they did not miss their support, even with local assistants when extra hands were necessary. Andrea and Luke apart from being very good and easygoing guys are perfect connoisseurs of the sea and the island. They put us easily on the fish, on spots they fished for years, allowing even my less experienced friend to obtain excellent results. The particularity of places and accommodation completes the full immersion in the African climate, ranging from the small local hotels to essential family houses, but always surrounded by the special Creole hospitality. In summary, I think this is a unique experience beyond words, that must be part of the cultural background of every angler looking for a tailored and professionally guided adventure in this part of the Atlantic Ocean.Was a pleasure to fish with them in August 2017 and planning another trip in March. Highly recommended

Thanks for the good feedback my friend, it was an honour for us.
Thanks to the proposal of a friend who had already participated in this trip, I lived one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and Iโm not talking just about fishing. The guys are fantastic. From the beginning, the whole trip is well described and organized in detail. And it was at this stage that they promised me unexpected things. 1. The accommodation was nice and comfortable, overlooking the ocean, even if we didnโt use it so much. 2. I wasnโt equipped with correct gear for those fish. They provide all the necessary. Shimano in particular. 3. For a big part of the journey, you go around with a 4x4 pickup with all the equipment in the trunk. Like real adventurers! 4. Fantastic fishing spots ... impossible to reach without true experts of the place. And I believe they have been out there for quite a long time. Every sunrise and sunset we were taken to spectacular places. 5. Luk and Andrea availability, fishing tips to achieve what is, in the end, the key reason for the trip ... hooking fish! Many, different species, and fish that is not always possible to land!! Boat fishing is an alternative when the sea conditions allow. 6. Last and not least, the food, which was a little concern for me before the trip. When the 2 local restaurants (essential but very good and familiar to the guides) were not available to prepare local specialities (go for lobsters and crabs is you have doubts !!), they were able to delight us with great pasta dishes or cooking our caught fish at the lodge. Really relaxing atmospheres after a long day out. Well, I could go on for much longer as the emotions on this trip have been infinite, but I would like to simply recommend this adventure with them, as an enriching experience beyond words and fishing.
