Fishing:
The seas around Tofo are well known for the spectacular fishing that is available all year round. The first 1000lb Marlin caught off the African coast was caught at Tofo and because of the very steep drop off, caused by the Mozambique current coming very close to the land, this produces a huge array of different game fish, as well as an abundance of bill fish very close to the shore.

The Lodge offers Fishing charters on their 2 fully equipped ski-boats, either with or without tackle and with a qualified assistant, who will assist in helping you to achieve that dream of landing the "Big One".

Rock and Surf Fishing:
The rock and surf fishing in and around Tofo is spectacular, with wonderful ledges, sandy beaches and the famous cliffs of (Goat Hill )Tofinho, there is definitely a spot for everyone to fish from. Whether it is doing drop shot style fishing or hunting for the big Giant King Fish.

The largest Bone fish caught in Tofo this season was 9,86 kg, so if you are up to it maybe you can smash the World Record with one of these wonderful fighting fish.

If you like fishing, Tofo will excite you.
